"Mountain Standard is a bit more laid back than its sister spot, Sweet Basil, but it’s still ideal for a special occasion dinner. Picture a mountain tavern by the river, with draft microbrews and aged bourbon, alongside hearty comfort food that’s as elevated as the altitude. Share some wood-roasted bone marrow and Wagyu carpaccio, warm pimento cheese, and a wedge salad. Then, move on to entrees like the fall-off-the-bone rotisserie chicken with cheddar grits, and corned pork shank with gruyere potato puree." - Kim Fuller
