Contemporary Southern cuisine, using fresh natural foods, including local organic produce, free-range and organic meats, for lunch and dinner. Sample dinner offerings include hickory roast duck confit, house smoked Carolina trout, hickory fired pizza, baked oysters with creamy spinach, grilled swordfish with butternut squash and ham hock jus, grilled beef ribeye with root vegetable gratin and peppercorn sauce, seared duck breast with sweet potato hash and bourbon, pan seared venison with creamy polenta and port wine reduction. We've never been to Standard Bistro, but enjoyed chef Alan Martin's offerings years ago at his previous Birmingham restaurant, Metro Grill.

This was our fourth visit to Standard Bistro. Although I think there are restaurants I like better in Birmingham, we have never had a bad meal here. Actually this was my favorite meal I had here. We started with the baked oysters for oysters. They were excellent. For my entree, I had the grilled pork tenderloin with mashed sweet potatoes, braised cabbage and honey crisp apples. This is not something I would normally order but I thought it was fantastic. The flavors were excellent. For dessert my husband and I split the lava cake. It disappeared before our eyes.
