We also enjoyed the Silo Boston House Wedge, served with Honey Crisp apples.Īs the sun was continuing to set, and the sky was turning pink, we had a hard time choosing which entrees to call our own. What we did enjoy, instead, was a Pear Salad, with artisan lettuce, candied pistachios, pancetta, Manchego cheese, and a citrus balsamic reduction vinaigrette. There is a delightful salad selection, and, once again, poor Olivia recommended something we didn’t take her up on! She raved about the Salt-Smoked Beet Salad, with house-smoked beets, mixed greens, whipped goat cheese, and an apricot vinaigrette. Also enticing was Chef Laura’s Chicken Salad Sandwich made with chicken from a local Amish farm, and the Prime Rib Sandwich with a shmear of Boursin… but we skipped to salads and heartier fare. Our delightful server, Olivia, recommended the Bison Burger from the list of sandwiches, although we were holding out for entrees. Other tempting appetizers included Grilled Royal Red Shrimp and Grits (with Palmetto Farms Grits), and the Burrata with City Bitty Farms’ Micro Greens.
We also opted for the Blood Orange Sangria, which was refreshing with white wine, Bacardi Rum, blood orange puree, white peach syrup, lemon juice, and pineapple juice.
As a few local restaurants do now, the Silo offers its version of an “Oak and Smoke” cocktail – Woodford Reserve Double Oaked bourbon, ginger syrup, lemon juice, honey, and Angostura Bitters, all smoked and poured tableside. Served with garlic crostini, locally made honey, and prosciutto, it provided a light, tasty starter with our cocktails. The whipped goat cheese from Green Dirt Farms was our choice of appetizer on a recent sunset-filled Sunday night. This member of the KC Hopps family is led by Executive Chef Laura Favela, who not only uses local merchants, but quotes her sources on her menu. The old brick silo from a long-ago farm is, indeed, the beacon for the restaurant and sets the tone for the experience – a dining event that is more than just the “Farm To Table” moniker.
Just off the interstate, this pastorally beautiful location could be out in the Flint Hills, but it’s much more convenient. Located on the edge of the greens of Canyon Farms Golf Club in Lenexa, Silo Modern Farmhouse, a restaurant within a clubhouse, was just the dinner staycation we’ve been looking for.
