Update: The manager called in response to the review below, and was as contrite as could be. I will treat this episode as an aberration, and in consideration of the long history here, we will be back. This is clearly management that cares, and its responsiveness is a model of responsibility for its patrons' satisfaction. We had an 815 reservation on a Sunday night and, as we were getting served our coffee and awaiting desert about 90 minutes later, the bar tender walks into the restaurant and unceremoniously announced that the restaurant was closed, that the kitchen had closed 45 minutes earlier, and we were unlikey to get our desert which actually came out minutes later. To the apparent consternation of our server, who was excellent, he then turned off the lights to the restaurant and left us to find our way out in the dark. We did not get to finish our meal, barely got to pay, and this completely ruined what had been a delightful evening until then. It will be a long time before we return. Bottom line: if you are planning to go there less than 2 hours before the kitchen closes, let alone what was apparently 45 minutes before on a Sunday, think again.

We ate at the American Hotel The Standard on Sunday evening. The server was lovely. She was attentive but subtle. We had plenty of time to enjoy our drinks, appetizers and main course. They have a very versed wine list. The calamari was tender and served with tomato and a lemon side sauce, both delicious. We shared a Cesar salad and requested the romaine be chopped. The salad was fresh, crisp and the dressing was complimentary. The bourbon Salmon was cooked perfectly and served with a corn succotash. My husband had seafood risotto. It was chock full of fresh shell fish and flavorful broth, risotto cooked to perfection. My dessert was an Expresso martini with Baileys. We will definitely be frequenting this Freehold gem.

The Borough finally smartened up and relaxed the paid Parking rules, so we decided to take advantage of it and go to the Standard, which we always enjoyed, but unfortunately boycotted because of the parking. It's the Principle of it!

My wife and I went to the American Hotel The Standard restaurant to celebrate Valentine's Day. We were seated promptly although the tables were a little tight. Our food server Sofia was very attentive throughout our entire meal. My wife and I started our dinner with an appetizer, Artichoke Fritters which was delicious. Our entrees were the same, 14 oz NY Strip Steaks medium rare. The steaks were prepared as requested and were delicious. We finished our meal with a delicious freshly prepared Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream. We had a wonderful time and will be back.

We just ordered Burgers, but they were delicious. Our servers were very attentive. All four of us had specific requests for our burgers, and everything came out as requested. Restaurant has been very tastefully renovated.

Overall experience was really nice. Drinks were great. Food choices exceptional. Service warmed quite nicely. Lobby bar carried over a bit but not impactful. Would definitely go back if in the area.

American Hotel is a great place! Very impressed with the new look! I was disappointed in the salmon dinner. Way too much corn and would've been much better had the piece of salmon been over risotto or polenta. Just my opinion.... My wife loves the shrimp and grits dinner!!!

The meal and the service was outstanding. It's a shame that the Borough passed the parking fee, I think that will hurt all of the businesses there, the parking lot was pretty empty

If you are looking for a venue for an event, this is it! I recently had my bridal shower here and Jim was such a pleasure to work with. He was so accommodating and detail oriented, it made the event that much more spectacular! The hall was absolutely beautiful, the food was wonderful and the staff were amazing and professional. I highly recommend and will absolutely be back!

The food is very good, but a little too pricey. Also, it was late and dark on a Sunday night and we weren't to sure what to do with the parking (where there is now a charge). Figuring that because it was a Sunday, that they wouldn't be charging, so we just parked (the lot was empty). My daughter and I both got hit with a $35 parking ticket, making the night $70 more expensive. I guess Freehold is trying to encourage people to eat elsewhere, where the parking is free.
