Patrons have dined at The Smithy for the restaurant’s rustic atmosphere, steaks, chops and seafood for 46 years. The brown house and sign with a blacksmith logo at 171 Main St. has become a Monroe landmark. Though the business and property are for sale, its owners say selling The Smithy to a buyer who will keep the restaurant going is a priority. A rumor had spread on the Monroe CT Residents Facebook page that The Smithy was closing, upsetting many loyal patrons.
