Crystal Goh: Food is good, but service snooty - not the best for the experience or the taste, but probably the place for a pretentious evening outing.
Gilt City: Aside from the quality people watching, we love the Panna cotta with strawberry soup, berries and lemon sorbet.
Thrillist: Go ask the bartender about those off-menu DISARONNO drink specials.

Joe Mama: Come here and hang out with pretentious overly privileged honkies and eurotrash.
Glenn Ebert: Grab a drink by the pool, or sit in the lobby to admire the mid-century modern brilliance. Dining is incredible (try Bianca) and if you're in the mood to party, hit up FDR in the basement
Bravo: I love the décor. Poolside at night, you will see and meet different interesting people from all over the world. -Sorah Daiha, Miami Social

Elyse Estrada: Awesome hotel. Great amenities, super cozy, not pretentious like other Standards. And the spa is pretty spectacular. Go paddle boarding for $40/hr. Great workout and pretty scenery.
Ghostly International: The spa of the Standard hotel group. Tucked away off on the Venetian Causeway, the Standard is a great place to enjoy a late afternoon Sunday sangria and dip in the pool.
