"As the host of a large group, I especially appreciated how Fernando saw us walking up, opened the door and warmly welcomed us! ... such a great start for our dinner! Throughout the evening, we all felt like you were truly happy we were there. Your entire team could not have been more kind and customer-focused.

Thank you, too, for creating the custom beverage menus! It was so fun to walk in and see them on the tables - such an incredible, delightful touch. Our experience at Standard Italian was truly a home run! ... Thank you for helping us to make a memorable first impression.

“Incredible! Thank you so much for everything. We are filled with overwhelming appreciation.

My mom absolutely enjoyed it... She expected to leave by 8:00, but stayed till nearly 9:45. She's still glowing from it.

Our server Natalie was also an above-and-beyond part of the experience. Many thanks to Jackson for his expertise, careful drink curation, and general friendliness. We got so many comments from guests about the quality of the food, the incredible attention of the service, the impressive bartending, the beautiful space, and more... We will absolutely be doing more of these with you guys when we can!”

“Our wedding at Equal Measure was absolutely perfect ... 10/10! Hands down! The bar/lounge and the private dining room created the most beautiful atmosphere. It was intimate, stylish, warm, and a combo of both elegant and fun. The food was incredible ... We also had several gluten-free guests who were genuinely impressed by both the options and the quality. And my 94-year-old grandma kept saying she was impressed that all the food came out hot.

One of the most impressive parts of the evening was how seamlessly the staff transformed the private dining room throughout the night from ceremony to dinner to dance floor. The staff was exceptional: professional, courteous, kind, attentive, and incredibly well-organized— from all the emails, phone calls, and dinners at ESK, the entire planning experience felt effortless and joyful. I wish we could do it all over again!”

“Thank you so much for hosting our group last week! Everything was absolutely lovely, and I was so touched by your approach to our group’s late arrival. The little things like that go a long way, and when accompanied by incredible service and delicious food, they make for an absolute home run of an experience. Our group will definitely be returning.”

“Every detail was anticipated, and the execution was flawless. The space was beautiful, the food was great, and the staff really shined. Jackson was the perfect bartender- and everyone raved about him! Maria was so professional, friendly, and focused on doing what we asked.  She really went the extra mile to make everyone happy!  What a great crew you have; they set the tone for the perfect vibe.” I'd like to thank you for all your patience during the planning process, your excellent follow-up, follow-through and your wonderful manner that was always upbeat and professional!  All your suggestions proved to be exactly what was needed!”

"We just returned from the Welcome Dinner at Standard Italian, which was a very big hit! Everyone loved it! Standard Italian did a very good job hosting our event. We thought the food was delicious and the staff very attentive. I would not hesitate to go back there for future events. They LOVED having us. They truly did their best, and the whole evening was a huge hit."

“I wanted to thank you both for coordinating a fantastic event for our family and friends. The Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party was just perfect, and the entire team was efficient and attentive-we couldn’t have asked for a better celebration to kick off the wedding weekend. Thank you for your guidance, professionalism and calming presence during a stressful time of planning. We want you to know what a difference every one of you made.”
