Good for lunch, overlooks water

by ltriana

Good for lunch, by the pool, everyone is relaxing, overlooks the water. Dinner was not good however, most things were cold and just not very good. After going to the spa of pool, heading over for some minis burgers and mimosas is great.

• Pros: atmosphere
• Cons: dinner food

The Standard's casual eatery offers more than hotel dining fare on the edge of Biscayne Bay.

by Rick Munarriz

In Short
By day, hotel guests awaken to an Eggs Benedict tweak starring smoked salmon and steamed asparagus. The lunch and dinner menus aren't as creative but still potent with island-bound diners spooning down bouillabaisse or biting into blackened mahi sandwiches. Grilled items are paired with signature sauces like sweet and sour pepper puree or sun-dried tomato with citrus. The dining room is bright and casual and inviting to both overnight guests and outsiders alike.

Best Panini In the World

by dragondice

If you like vegetables and good cheese a crusty bread then this is the place to have lunch on the weekdays. They have the best paninini ever. The best part is that you can make it your own by adding chicken or fish or even more vegetables. It is so fresh that you can feel the freshness of it. Also make sure to get the chick peas... They are to dye for and healthy at the same time. So if you feel like watching the beautiful Biscayne Bay while eating healthy with a lot of beautiful people around the Lido is where you should be.

• Pros: Great view, healthy food, and you can make it your own.
• Cons: Service could be a little slow to get the food to you, and parking is only valet
