What doesn't: blinding bright lights that I've had to ask the staff to turn down everytime I go in. And my biggest complaint: It's a damn lounge- play some freaking lounge music and turn it up so you can actually hear it. LOUNGE MUSIC IN A LOUNGE: Look it up: The range of lounge music encompasses beautiful music-influenced instrumentals, modern electronica (with chillout, and downtempo influences), while remaining thematically focused on its retro-space age cultural elements. Turn off the classic rock, turn off the house and hip hop and get with the freakin program. I DEMAND IT... Rant over. Now, do better Monkey Boy.

Immediately I can tell this isn't what I was hoping for. And that they would have changed their ways with portnoy's huge donation. But there was dirty silverware on the floor, our table was sticky and had ketchup on the seats. When the bartender came over I asked if she would honor a gift certificate my friend got as a gift and she said she has to call someone who was off and busy and probably wouldn't bc it was expired. I said okay thanks and we left. Went across the street to Henry's taproom and was greeted w a smile. We ripped up the gift certificate and will NEVER STEP foot in here again. Save yourself the trouble.

Lots of special cocktails which were all great. Show stopper was the food. Menu is not huge but everything was delicious. Lots of plates moving around the table to share tastes. Chef Lyndsey (yes, we had to meet her after our meal) knows how to bring out flavors that are unique. Don't miss the lemongrass chicken or the wood-fired steelhead trout. All 8 agreed it was the best meal we had in Saratoga and we went back a week later. Steve S.

I have frequently visited Standard Fare over the past few months (for brunch, dinner, and tasting…read moremeals) so this review is long overdue. First of all, it is small inside, which I love. It's a more intimate type setting great for couples, girlfriends or family. The vibe cannot be explained but should be experienced. We have always been greeted with a smile when walking in the door and the staff is welcoming, attentive and friendly. The cocktails are phenomenal, and there are always stellar wine choices on the menu. Recently, they have begun to do "off-menu" tasting events (every other Sunday) where the chef chooses a selection of courses that you are surprised with upon arrival. The food has been nothing short of phenomenal, incredibly creative and memorable. They also offer a wine pairing with these meals which takes out a lot of guesswork for us wine newbies in trying to figure out what wine to pair with each course. Definitely a breath of fresh air in Saratoga, something different but absolutely worth every penny!

With the world and life being so crazy, it's nice to be able to enjoy a night out. The second I…read morewalked into Standard Fare, I felt the ability to relax. The service was fantastic. We were always being checked on . My friend and I even got to chat for a few minutes with the owners. For the food, I love the combination of comfort food and fine dining. Classics you know but upscale. Beef short rib- new to the menu. Melt in your mouth and very flavorful. Mom's Meatloaf- my friend ordered this but I had a bite. Would definitely order this myself Parmesan Truffle Fries- crispy fries with Parmesan. Can't go wrong and a big portion for a side dish. Charred artichoke- so tender and perfectly paired with tzatziki sauce. Cocktails: Espresso Martini Citrus Got Real

We were looking for a place to eat pretty late at night, when most restaurants are closed, when we…read morecame upon Bibulous. The server/bartender was super friendly and welcoming. A big part of their food menu was hotdogs. This worked out well because we happened to be in the mood for hotdogs. The hotdogs were cute and small- we got the Coney Island ones, with chili and onion. We also got a side Caesar that paired well with them. In contrast to the other places open that late Bibulous was not too loud- you could comfortably carry on a conversation- and had super attentive servers/bartenders that go above and beyond to make you feel taken care of. The desserts seemed to be the thing to order, but we unfortunately didn't partake that night. Apart from the food, one thing that was great to see was that members of the LGBTQ community seemed to be super at home here.

There was no hot drinks on the menu that I can recall I do not drink alcohol, but was looking forward to a tasty well made mocktail. There were 4-6 choices and mine was very tasty The food choices disappointed me. It was mini hot dogs with the works, chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese, potato chips and dip, french fries Definitely I do not belong to the targeted customer, which I believe is an elementary school' age crowd Deserts, each sounded good The peanut butter pie was the table favorite. I ordered lemon cake made with olive oil. The sauce on top, a lemon raspberry concoction was SOUR!
