- operatingStatus verified — Smithfield Station — Dine page (official site), checked Aug 2026
Confirmed by successfully retrieving the restaurant's own official/tourism source describing current operations on 2026-08-09 — not inferred from any historical or local-favorite recognition. Restaurants are rechecked on a shorter, quarterly-ish cadence than farms/markets given how quickly closures happen with little notice; see /DATA_SOURCING.md.

Chesapeake Bay Magazine's "Best of the Bay" is a named, dated, editorially-published regional award program — distinct from an unstructured aggregator star rating — but is still a reader-voted award; recorded honestly as that specific kind of recognition, not conflated with independent journalism or a certifying body.

- localSourcing: not confirmed
The menu features Smithfield Ham and "the area's freshest offerings of pork, fish" by name, but no page reviewed states that these are sourced from a specific local farm, ham house, or waterman — "Smithfield Ham" is a regional style/geographic term, not itself a sourcing claim, so this is left unconfirmed rather than inferred from the menu.
