Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Pepper Pike

We really appreciate that the Standard is open on Thanksgiving. It's just me and my elderly mother who doesn't cook anymore, so it's nice to have a good place open on the holiday. Overall, the food was very good. We had: French onion soup, Romain "wedge" salad, braised lamb shank with risotto, white meat turkey special and an apple tart each. Mom said the soup was good - though not quite as good as the one she made herself for a Julie and Julia from the French Chef's cookbook some years ago. My salad was very nice. Mom's lamb was good, but a bit tepid and short on vegetables. My turkey and accoutrements were very good, well-seasoned, not dry, and hot. The only real disappointment was the dessert. The tart was flat with no discernable edge to the crust - which was underbaked. Our waiter said that it was the first attempt at this item and it could use a bit of polishing. Our server was very personable and engaging. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The noise level was moderate. Overall, a great experience. Thanks Standard!

Great food, as always. Service was wonderful. This is the third holiday occasion I've eaten at Table 45 and it has always been very enjoyable.

Food and service were excellent! Tuesday night was $12 pasta too, so it was a good deal! The sausage stuffed bread was amazing too!

I’m telling you, this place, wow! Server Pierre, amazing, the whole staff attentive, food delish, 14 yr old and 12 yr old, loved it. Recipe d both my complimentary B-day and appetizer gifts, warm cozy sat in a booth, it was a very nice experience. Loved it. My birthday… my daughters received free ice cream, and sorbet! Amazing experience!!!

Consistently an enjoyable experience. My husband, friends, and I come here often enough and have always had a great experience. Tonight two out of four of us ordered veggie burgers because they are the best in town. Colleen, our server, was warm and professional. That is one of the hallmarks of this restaurant; it seems they hire experienced servers who get along with each other.
