About the restaurant

The Standard at The Smith House may very well be the best example of local Nashville flavor and service. The Standard Restaurant has been in operation since 2006 serving upscale Southern specialties complete with a full-service bar. Our townhouse was built in the 1840's and we are honored to be the current stewards of this fascinating work of architecture. We are located in the heart of Downtown Nashville, just blocks from the new Music City Convention Center and the famous Lower Broadway entertainment district. We are proud to offer some of the best steaks in town as well as fresh seafood and other items.

Our beautiful courtyard bar area is available with a dinner reservation for drinks before or after dinner.

Really enjoyed our anniversary dinner here. Did not disappoint. Excellent rib eye with truffle butter and the best crème brûlée in town. Will do it again… probably soon.

The Friday lunch pork chop is truly a unique experience. Easily, the best pork chop I've ever had. The apple sauce and mashed potatoes are excellent as well. Service is top-notch, with friendly staff frequently refilling drinks, clearing crumbs, etc. It is always an excellent experience at Perry's Steakhouse.

I like Char and have gone there for both lunches and dinners. This last lunch was eso specially good. I asked for a booth with online reservation the day before (which helps for for better hearing conversation) and they did that- it was Wednesday- fried chicken...it was excellent- we all got it and it was perfectly done- everything was good as was the servicer. Good price and excellent meal. We had fun
