Standard Deviation Dine under the High Line | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
By avoiding the outsize concepts found at neighboring restaurants, The Standard Grill successfully adds a much-needed dose of understated coolness to the Meatpacking District. Chef Dan Silverman (formerly of Lever House) abandons the woefully habitual burgers and fries, instead turning a bounty of farm-stand ingredients into comforting seasonal plates. Snack on gratis French Breakfast radishes before savoring a cool haricots verts salad dressed with yogurt, cinnamon and crispy shallots ($9). Sweet pea ravioli with pistachios and mint ($15) is a light and buttery main dish, though those with heartier appetites should try grill-marked standouts like Sunburst trout with currant-pine-nut relish ($16) and the Berkshire pork chop coated in a spiced-salt crust ($18). Added value comes in the form of a complimentary side dish; ours have included patatas bravas with smoked-paprika aioli on one visit, baby carrots with tarragon on another. And take advantage of the restaurant's expansive sidewalk and patio areas: Located under the newly opened High Line, they offer the summer's best seats in town. The Standard Grill, 848 Washington St. (at W. 13th St.); 212-645-4100 or thestandardgrill.com |
