RESTAURANT REVIEW
Destination diners looking for an exemplary use of local ingredients prepared with modern culinary technique should visit this restaurant located in a former drugstore. John Justus loves Berkshire pork, which he prepares as starters (a pork terrine with brioche and a poached egg and a pork-tail fritter served with wild arugula vinaigrette) and mains (Newman Farm pork served two ways: as a brined rib eye and as a house-made sausage served with soft polenta, onion, mint, lemon and elderflower white wine). Reviewers call it "farm-to-table cooking at its finest" and "worth the 30-minute drive to Smithville from downtown."
