| - I was here a few days after Standard & Pour opened. I joined two friends in returning to try items on the menu we didn't have the first time.
We ordered:
Crispy oysters
Endive and date salad
Date and bleu cheese jam spread
Spicy shrimp
Three beans
Mini burgers
Whole smoked romanesco
Meatball sliders
Kimchi tacos
Ribeye cap
Fruit loop panna cotta
Lost bread
The crispy oysters and the date and bleu cheese jam were repeats and just as good as the first time. Some of the new items we tried that were amazing were the three beans, spicy shrimp, and whole smoked romanesco. I had never seen a romanesco in a store but I was blown away by the great flavor with the red onions, capers, raisins, and herbs. The smoking gives it a fantastic flavor. The spicy shrimp lived up to their name and I could have eaten the entire serving myself. Finally, the three beans with a house XO, fish sauce, and garlic. The beans were crisp, spicy, and very tasty.
For dessert, the fruit loop panna cotta was not available the first go round. This time it was and it's quite good and what a take on a cereal. The lost bread--pain perdu--was better than the first time around. The cinnamon flavor comes from being made from cinnamon rolls and the bread was moist throughout.
Standard & Pour has an extensive enough menu so there are choices for almost any type of eater. For the more inquisitive, try the romanesco, the beans, and the date and bleu cheese jam spread. You won't regret it.
