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. If we pass through again we will stop in! The bar area is exquisite.

Pizza is the main focus of the menu but they do have a nice variety of other menu choices. They also have daily specials such as half price appetizers on Mondays and $0.79 wings on Tuesdays. The bar seems to be staffed by only one person, but there might be more on busy days. The staff is friendly and helpful. The Pizza Lounge has a modern feel to it. It is bright and well lit. The stools are comfortable. The entire place is nice and clean. The food is also decent. Better than most larger hotels I have stayed at. The salads are large and don't skimp on the extras. Tuesday was a long and tiring day so I sat at the bar shortly after they opened. I ordered a Johnny Walker Black and 10 buffalo wings. They also offer their wings with BBQ, Hot BBQ, and a Honey Mustard flavor. The wings are plump, cooked well, and the sauce clings to wings. Mine were hot and tasty. The Johnny Walker was a nice addition for after the wings while I relaxed before heading back up to my room. It's nice to have someplace nice in the hotel to sit, relax, and have a good bite to eat. It beats going out, especially in this cold weather we are having right now. So, if you happen to be in the Lima, Ohio area and close to, or staying at the Howard Johnson's give The Pizza Lounge a try.

The people working there have never been served by Trump or the right wing agenda, and no one else appeared to be watching the those tvs. It makes no sense why they would have Fox News up anywhere in their establishment. Our server was nice, yet even though the bar was less than 25% capacity, it took 15 minutes to get an overpriced Old Fashioned which was not made correctly. It was far too sweet, had some sort of 7up-like soda in it, and we couldn't even taste any rye bourbon in them. There was too much ice in the glass and the cherries were the cheapest of the cheap. None of the other drinks available looked enticing, especially after that drink. The fried pickles were delicious and I also ordered a PBJ burger. The burger was well done even though I asked for medium rare. The overall taste was very yummy only because there was so much jelly and oily peanut butter to assist the dry overdone burger. The sidewinders were well flavored but could have been double fried to be slightly crispier. Partner also ordered a burger and typically prefers medium well done. Even they thought their burger was too overdone and dry. The floors were sticky and the place smelled like pinesol which was distracting from the food. Even though it smelled like cleaning products, the place felt dirty and sticky, not somewhere I would like to eat. I appreciate the divey, live music in the corner sports bar vibe, but the management and organization seemed off here, like a weird awkward silence. I wouldn't come back unless they make their drink game more professional, there was a very good special on beers, or a particular band I would enjoy seeing here.

I ordered steamed dumplings and their Chef's special - Steak and Scallops. It was ordered through the GrubHub website and I was given a delivery time range, as they normally do. The food was okay, or at least what I could eat of it. When they packed the meal, they forgot to add any utensils. I tried to chase down the "Dasher" but even though I was next to her car waving frantically, she either didn't see me or chose not to. Dumplings can be finger food, but I'm afraid that any Chinese dish in a brown sauce isn't. The dumplings were well made and I did like the dipping sauce. As for the Steak and Scallops - I did try it using my fingers, which wasn't particularly enjoyable. The steak was tender and well flavored. There were ample vegetables in the dinner. The scallops were about pea-sized... I've never seen anything like that before. Typically, scallops are about an inch in diameter? They were kind of flavorless. Without utensils, I really couldn't eat rice nor eat the meal. So, I tried to contact GrubHub. They hid or got rid of their chat function so I emailed and did get a pretty rapid response saying they issues a $5 credit for the problem. We emailed back and forth a few times as I tried to explain I wanted either a refund or someone to deliver something I could use to eat the food with. Finally, the GrubHub rep told me to use their online form for faster service. I did and their autoresponder told me to expect a reply in 24 to 48 hours. I threw out the food. They simply could have contacted the restaurant, had them fix the problem, and take back the $5 credit. 24 hours, almost to the minute, I heard back from them. After a few emails, they won't stand by any sort of guarantee on this. How does a $5 credit solve the problem? As for China Wok, I would return again but would not use GrubHub. As for GrubHub, I don't suggest you use them for delivery from here.
