It was our first time dining here, but definitely won't be our last! To say our experience was exceptional would be an understatement. The attention given to all the finest local, organic & best-of-the-best ingredients, combined with the quality of service, atmosphere & impecabble preprepation made this the best meal I have ever had the pleasure of eating. From my first cocktail, to my last bite of dessert, it was truly decadent. Some highlights were the chicken pate (which I have NEVER cared for pate before) - this was a DELICIOUS surprise, and listening to my husband make the "mmmm...mmmm....mmmmmm...." noise as he treasured every last bite of the Berkshire Pork. Thank you for the special anniversary treatment, and for coming to talk to us personally at our table. By the time we left, we felt like old friends. Thank you for giving us an unforgettable meal, and for helping make our anniversary celebration so perfect. Can't wait to come back for more, "Friend"! Dear Chef,

I will admit I was skeptical, as I do not step outside the culinary mainstream very often. Wow, what an ‘!! This was not just a meal, but a journey through culinary perfection. Every dish had a depth and balance of flavors that both intrigued and satisfied the palette. The wine pairings were spot on, the service impeccable, and the entire experience awesome!! I would recommend the Justus Drugstore to everyone!! Tonight we celebrated my wife’s 40th birthday with my in-laws at one of their favorite restaurants.

Out of 11 dishes tried and shared, nothing was a disappointment; everything was memorable. The varieties and combinations of flavors were both delicious and unique. How much fun can you have eating? We also appreciated a discussion with Jonathan about the relationship of color palettes in painting and flavors in cooking. And thanks to Cynthia for excellent and informed service. We'll be back.

Three couples for a Valentines Day treat! I could NOT have been more pleased with our experience. The dishes were executed perfectly. Well rounded, great combinations of flavors, and just delicious. I had the Kobe rib eye with parsnip/sweet potato puree, and brussel sprouts. Ohers had the chicken, goat cheese salad, sous vide rabbit. I travel often and am lucky enough to experience amazing cuisine from all over the world - this restaurant is truly one of a kind and provided one of the best meals I've ever had. I cannot wait for our next visit! We came in last night with a group of six. Three couples for a Valentines Day treat! I could NOT have been more pleased with our experience.

I have never had such a wonderful dining experience in or around Kansas City. Hands down fantastic. And, I didn't want to eat just anything the next day. Justus makes you think about all the food you consume; where it comes from and how it is made. If only all restaurants put so much care and attention into what they serve the customer. I still dream of the salad with blue cheese "ice cream" and the flavor of the risotto. I want to introduce everyone I know to this place. Thank you for being here!

Was beyond what I had imagined, fantastic. Had the Goat Cheese Salad and the Kobe Rib Eye, then a scoop of Rum Raisin Ice Cream and a strawberry sherbet. Everything was explained to each of us as our plates were presented, what a delight. Just fabulous. Will return...what a jewel for Smithville.
