Ashley...here's your crown! A five star experience, in a beautiful building, with fantastic food &…read moredrinks and excellent service! 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.

Eight of us ordered lunch take-out today. 4 of the orders were wrong. I ordered the Hot Honey…read moreChicken sandwich. Menu states Crispy Chicken, pepper jack cheese, bacon, and hot honey sauce. It came with those, plus lettuce, tomato, onions, and mayo. I hate onions and mayo with a passion and you can't just wipe it off or remove them. I did the best i could to remove them but the taste of the onion leeched into everything else and the mayo made the bread soggy and disgusting. I went to review the menu to see if I missed something, but nowhere on the menu does it suggest that there would be 4 other things on my sandwich that I didn't ask for. Just a suggestion, but add those other ingredients to the menu so I know to ask for them to be left off.

We were sat outside in the patio which was nice with the open room and the only one in the area. It wasn't to hot to be outside. The fried food in the appetizers were delicious, the breading had good seasoning and was crispy. The fried ravioli were very delicious and had a good pull. The cheese puff had a nice quick to it. Everyone got something different and enjoyed their meal. I am vegetarian and ordered Mac n cheese which comes with bacon and ham and unfortunately they first made it with the meat on it. Luckily the waitress notice and told them, but my meal came out after everyone was done eating. The mac n cheese pizza had a good pull and it held on nicely, but my only complaint was that the pizza didn't have any seasoning. The dough was missing something. Overall it was a a good experience.
