This is one of the best establishments I've ever dined at. The atmosphere is cozy, relaxed, and welcoming, which is so nice these days. It is always so clean. The staff? Always serving with a smile, and the owners even check in to make sure your meal is nothing less than how you like. And now down to the food. The food is top-notch. Super high-quality meats, sides, greens, and cheeses. Always cooked to perfection, exactly how you order it, and always hot. My absolute favorite place to dine.

First time here. Has that old school steak house feel. Steak was cooked perfect. Salad bar was decent, dessert was very good. I personally like my steaks seasoned a bit more than they had done it but overall I would definitely go back to try some other things on the menu.

It’s so refreshing to find employees that are dedicated, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Zac was are server and he was wonderful, engaging but not pushy. My ribeye steak was perfectly cooked and delicious, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will return

Food was excellent! Our waiter was awesome! Salad bar fit the bill. The ONLY negative critique I must state is the unhygienic manner in which the cheese board is set up. We watched a woman repeatedly serve herself cheese using her bare hands. She touched the entire bar while slicing it. Totally unacceptable. I would suggest wait staff slicing the cheese and placing it near salad bar, with tongs.

The Smithy is in an old New England style house with a nice fireplace and many small rooms that offer privacy. Salad and cheese bar are a nice touch and the steaks were delicious. Daily specials are always very interesting. Owner is usually on site and a friendly staff.
