The January 3, 2010, Washington Post Magazine gives chef Tarver King and his crew 2 1/2 stars for their great work at the Restaurant at The Ashby Inn. They strongly support the local farm community, and under Tarver’s leadership have given the restaurant an impressive bounty of creative fare.

Love when Tom Sietsema ventures into our bountiful Piedmont.

Congratulations to The Ashby Inn and Tarver King and his staff. That’s wonderful recognition.

So the next time you’re wondering what’s going in Paris (VA), you know where to make a reservation. Don’t forget, their brunch menu beckons for a weekend respite.

To everyone, our best wishes for a wonderful New Year.
