As part of the Hyatt Centric lobby, the 7th St Standard is a fabulous restaurant with plenty of sunlight, modern decor, high ceilings, and absolutely giving you a sense of business-first, up-scale dining. Entering from the left side of the lobby, you'll be greeted with a sunroom type of space, perfect for brunch and lunch, afternoon-tea, and early dinner in the sunset orange.
Now, obviously, due to the ambience, your expectations are high. The menu and decor are minimalistic, modern, and focused. Your table is set up on a clean surface, with modern china. And the same ethos is present throughout every presentation of each dish.
Every dish came out to be Instagram ready and the taste was quite good as well. Some blemishes to call out though. The steak was not medium rare on a steak & eggs. The egg on the pork belly was a bit overcooked. In the contrary, the bacon burger was perfect with juicy pattys and tasteful sauce.
The 7th St Standard is set up well. The ambience does a lot of the heavy lifting in setting the mood right, and you just have to provide solid dishes. The restaurant itself isn't that big which helps with the not-so-industrial feeling. And Noa, our server was really friendly.
You won't be blown away. But you will certainly leave happy. It's great for a date night or a business meal with drinks. And yes, upscale brunch too.
