    I need to update my review because the store has changed quite noticeably over the past 12+ months…read more The workers are less engaging with customers, less knowledgeable on their products and less friendly. It's nearly impossible to get someone to provide a sample and I can't tell if that's a strategy to avoid sampling because they always have employees working and standing. I've asked multiple times to be told no on sampling and looked at like I'm bothering them. I used to love the store pics but it appears they are doubling down on Indiana distilleries vs sourcing Kentucky distilleries and national distilleries. They do have some old store pics that are slow moving because of the price point. If you're looking for a higher volume bourbon go to Meijer across the street and save $10-$20 a bottle. This is now a novelty store with high price points that now fails to deliver on its value as an experience.

    Stopped in this store @ 8:30 last night in search of chilled white wine. As the store is large, I…read moreasked where I could find what I was looking for and was directed to a very small selection that included 2 bottles of champagne and 4 bottles of prosecco. Not white wine. Then I chose a bottle of room temp white wine and proceeded to the counter. The clerk was SO incredibly rude when I mentioned that the selection of chilled wine was all red. She proceeded to inform me that the red wine was at the recommended temperature then looked at the other clerk and said "Here is another one for you." She walked away from the register. Really lady? If you don't like working with the public get a different job!

    Collins Fine Foods is certainly one of the better shops in Van Wert. It's menu is varied. It's a…read moreliquor store... a darn great liquor store! Plenty of beer, including craft beer, wine, and liquors. But, it's more than that. It has a deli that makes sandwiches or sells you cut meats or cheeses, it will sell you fresh steaks, it has a varied selection of candy, jelly beans and fine chocolates. It has gourmet coffee for sale. There are gift baskets for purchase. It's pretty much a one stop shop for a great party or perhaps a romantic dinner! I came twice to this store already, and plan on coming much more often. The first time, I came to check it out. I kept hearing from so many people I work with that this place is great. They are right! I was pleased to finally find a liquor store that sold at least one of my favorite wines (Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio) and had other wines I would truly. I was happy to find out the store sold one of my favorite brands of chocolate (Sanders) and even had its sea salt version! It also has craft beers! Awesome! I talked to the owner, great guy. He told me about the steaks and how I can order certain cuts and he would have them shipped to the store. He even advised that if there was a certain wine I wanted that wasn't sold there, he would also have it shipped! Yes! I think he also mentioned (and it's on their menu) that they sold hot foods on certain days before 4:00 pm... including soups, bbq pork, and other meals. hmmm will have to see and check it out. I came a second time during the chocolate walk. They were handing out plenty of chocolate treats but also booze! They had Rumchata Limon, A Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer that tasted like coffee and a dark chocolate wine. If you know me, you can guess I went for the wine! Wonderful! Will have to buy some in the future! Someone I met during the chocolate walk said it was a bit too strong for her taste... not for me... perfect! Chocolaty goodness that with the liquor warmed me up during an especially frigid day during the chocolate walk! Great place! I have to come back once I have finished settling into my new house!

    Collins Fine Foods is the BEST deli by far in Van Wert!…read more Their sandwiches and sub sandwiches are beyond fantastic!

    My husband treated me to Baker Street Steakhouse for my birthday. The place is just classy. The…read moreinterior is a mixture of black and wood and gold accents. White linen table cloths flank both booth tables and freestanding tables. The chairs are comfortable leather ones that slide in and out easily. It's beautiful inside! There is soft jazz style music playing in the background. Our appetizer was delicious crab cakes. I don't even like crab, and I'd eat these as a meal! We also ordered French Onion Soup. Yall.... This. Soup. Will. Slap. Your. Tastebuds. I wanted to go back into the kitchen and crawl into the soup pot and swim around. It is soo tasty!! The flavor is bold and the cheese is thick and what a cheese pull! My mouth just watered at this! We also had a pretzel bread. It came with delicious, sweet cinnamon butter. We loved it! For our main, we ordered the steak medallions and mushroom risotto. People...... The steak was cooked PERFECTLY! It was so easy to cut, and it melted on your mouth. The seasoning was delicious! The mushroom risotto was the perfect consistency--creamy and scrumptious goodness. This dish is PHENOMENAL!!! To finish, we had a warm, moist, and delicious carrot cake with cream cheese icing, caramel drizzle, and topped with walnuts. There is cinnamon ice cream on the side. We were so happy because most times, carrot cake we order out is dry--but THIS cake was TOP NOTCH! Megan, our server, was kind and prompt. She kept our drinks filled, and she did an excellent job at timing things to come out to us. Baker Street Steakhouse is a MUST-have restaurant in Fort Wayne. You won't be sorry for going.

We were seated immediately. Nice corner booth. It was nearly empty so we had a very quiet, romantic atmosphere for his Birthday Meal. Our server, Megan, was very friendly and on top of things. We ordered crab cakes for an app as well as a cup of French onion soup each. We could make a meal on that alone. The crab cakes were fantastic and the French onion soup was to die for. INCREDIBLE! The pretzel bread with cinnamon butter is very tasty. The butter is so soft and filled with cinnamon. We then ordered the filet medallions with wild mushroom risotto. We love our steaks medium rare. These were cooked to perfection. Melt in your mouth goodness! The seasoning was amazing! Very delicious. The only issue was the one long strand of hair on the edge of my plate. I spoke to the server about it to make sure better care is taken in food prep in the kitchen. She said she'd talk to the manager. Husband received a free birthday dessert. He chose the warm carrot cake drizzled with caramel and walnuts with cinnamon ice cream. It was moist and so delicious. The birthday candle was a nice added bonus. Will definitely be back!

The Met has a policy that your server gets to proudly wear a crown if their name is mentioned in a five star review. Love that policy!! Wear it proudly Ashely!! The Met is a unique building downtown Lima. It was built in the late 1880's and was originally home to the The Metropolitan Bank. It has since been morphed into a restaurant with very attractive original features. The wood floors and plaster ceilings...along with the attractive decor really enhance the dinning experience! The team here is very friendly, professional and welcoming. Ashley was outstanding. She hustled, knew her menu and had great recommendations. Ashley was very attentive and helped us enjoy the evening. I appreciated Liz stopping by and welcoming us. Liz shared lots of history and helped us appreciate the facility. The Met has a large food menu that has something for everyone. They have a large selection of beverages and specialty cocktails. All at reasonable prices. We started with a couple of Mule drinks. One was a designer St. Patrick's Day Mule and their specialty Met Mule. Both were very tasty, cool and refreshing . We started with the Focaccia bread appetizer. It had a lightly golden/chewing top with a soft and moist inside. Liz said that they make the bread fresh three times a day. The bread had a slight olive oil taste with a mild amount of Italian herbs. The soft whipped butter was a nice add. The side salad had lots of fresh spring greens. There was a few tasty tomatoes and lots of stronger tasting onions. The thin Parmesan cheese shreds were an excellent touch. The house ranch dressing was very smooth/light/creamy moderately thin with a mild ranch taste. My wife had the chicken bacon ranch flatbread. The crust was thin and crispy. She really liked the ranch house made sauce and how it accented the meat toppings. I had the Met Meatloaf which had an outstanding meat flavor. The meat was made with Italian sausage which had a slightly spicy kick. It was moist and tender to go along the beefy taste. The smooth red sauce on top was slightly sweet & spicy. It accented the meat nicely. The mashed potatoes were real with lumps, eyes and minute peel pieces. Very smooth and delicious! The grilled asparagus had a slight crisp to go along with the tender stalk. Not much seasoning detected...just a nice olive oil taste. Overall a fantastic dinner experience. We sat street level and watched the pedestrians come & go while enjoying the decor of this unique facility! The menu is large and the food and drinks are outstanding. A special trip to The Met in downtown Lima is worth a try!

We arrived at 11:30 and left at 2. They were nice to let us linger. Everything we had was terrific. Soups are made in-house. I'm thinking most all things on the very large menu were probably very good. They seem to care about the details. We also shared some ice cream cookie sundae concoction that was 5*. Metered parking on the street and there was a free lot but it was full. Meters were $2 for two hours. Nice staff and there were no staff shortages! Lilly our server was perfect. If we pass through again we will stop in! The bar area is exquisite.
