Standards Jamestown

Went for the pizza and it was good!!! The ingredients are quality and it makes the difference. The menu offers nice options for meals and a delicious burger. The environment is comfortable and the servers are friendly and attentive. Excellent addition to the dining options in Jamestown.

We attended a private event here - the food was excellent (especially the pizza!), lovely atmosphere and service. Great addition to Jamestown, we definitely plan to return!

From Wisconsin on vacation so we just stumbled in by happenstance. We were just looking for late lunch and quite possibly got the best meal of the trip! All across the board Standards exceeded any and all expectations. Best lobster bisque I’ve ever had (came with two lobster tails). The bbq burger with fried onions was cooked perfect and the French fries are awesome also. A slight bit on the spendy side but we certainly got our moneys worth. Our waitress Emma was super attentive and helpful. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

We have been to Standards now several times and have found it to be very enjoyable (atmosphere, food, and service). The only thing I have to say poorly about it is the price of drinks, a little steep. Have your cocktails when you get home. But to be fair, this is true in most restaurants today.

Standards Jamestown is competing with a bunch of other restaurants on an island with a limited population, but is considered a tourist destination. Jamestown, the island Standards is on, is in a precarious position because the neighboring island is Aquidneck Island, home of Newport. Newport is a city with a long history as a colonial town active during the Revolutionary War, and a center of commerce and wealth for the coastal New England region. This legacy of history, tourism, and beaches drags a lot of tourists past Jamestown and on towards Newport. However, Standards is a part of a grander story of Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island. The restaurant gives it's own unique take on the staples of Americana cuisine, plus a few other additions. The first thing I noticed from the menu was Standard's statement that everything used in the menu is all natural. The second was that they have comparable mocktails such as "La Paloma." This requires a second visit to confirm that mocktails are worth a third visit. What I didn't see on the menu was the two different sizes of side for French fries. You can get a small, and you can get a large for $5 dollars more. If there are two people with small appetites, the small is enough. On my second visit, I will be getting a large fry. The French fries were salted to perfection and slightly larger than traditional shoestring style, tasty, warm, and proper. Specials included two seasonal salads, one of which was a salad of spinach, candied walnuts, peaches (or some kind of stone fruit?), and goat cheese, topped with apple cider vinagrette. Their chicken Caesar salad was quality and the chicken was delicious, tender, and not too dry. Standards' prices are comparable with many other restaurants in the area. Some may be more expensive than that. I do like that they had labels on their menu items. Gluten-free and vegan options are available. Parking is side street, with a local parking lot located down hill from there. I have to give them a thumbs up on some of their sustainability practices. There are not a lot of advertised elements, but the paper straws and the all natural ingredients are good indicators of a business that wants to keep it's waterfront where it is.

Standards is a new restaurant in Jamestown and I was so excited to try it during my visit there. We stayed down the street and ended up there 3 times. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and it was so well decorated and cozy. The interior designer did a fabulous job. Our first night we needed a quick pizza and apps after a long day in Newport and it was all amazing. The next few nights we ordered more off of the menu and it was all great. Their lobster bisque is a must try. My mom and step dad agreed it was the best they have ever had and the presentation was fantastic with a lobster tail served on top. The kids menu wasn't listed so just ask!

Excellent restaurant!! Newly opened and highly recommended!! The fish dinner was perfectly cooked. Healthy. Filling. Enjoy downtown Jamestown and this family friendly restaurant. Great for events too.

Our second dining experience at Standards and it was great again. Food was great once again. My wife loves their Ceasars salad and kitchen made real dressing. Burger tasted great and was cooked exactly to medium rare. Fun to look into the kitchen and watch the attention the chef gives to each plate, arranging everything just so. Great to have a great midrange family restaurant back in Jamestown.
