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 drove in from Columbus to meet friends from Toledo. It's about half-way for both of us…read more Glad we found The Met. I think someone we knew had been here and gave it a high recommended. 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.

The weight staff was very helpful, very efficient. They did not waste motion. We were seated quickly and well. A few minutes later, we had drink orders and I asked about appetizers and she said as soon as they come out, we'll get them to you and so we got some. The fries came out burning hot, which is exactly how fries should be. Hot fries, and cold ranch make a wonderful appetizer. We also got the cheese bread which was worth eating too. Practically a pizza on its own. I ordered the pub burger. It might sound a little mundane, but it was sublime. The bacon was well done and crispy, but it's not prefab frozen stuff. It was real bacon. I enjoyed the cheese. It was a properly done burger. Not overcooked not undercooked just right in my opinion. Exactly what I asked for. My sweetie got the side salad to go with her sandwich instead of fries and she is delighted, which she normally isn't. She's usually pretty tough on salads. She says it was crispy and yummy. So perfect. I don't know if I've ever heard her use that to My little shared a pizza margarita thing. They were delighted. They threw it like a herd of velociraptors, which is pretty atypical for them. Usually, they smell it very strongly and lick it once and then move on. We have very few leftovers, which is not usual for us. Only took one to go box, and that's for the pizza for the kiddos. Normally, I'm an imperial stout guy and so I didn't know if they'd have anything for me. They recommended a sounders porter and I'm usually not a porter guy, but it was good. I liked it. That's a good recommendation. I like the friendly, family, friendly, casual atmosphere. They've got a very large menu and they've got some really nice items on it. Their food comes out hot fresh and properly cooked. What's not to love? If I'm ever up in this area again, which is likely, I expect to be stopping by here again.

Upon entering you're in a comfortable pub/bar with comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. We were greeted quickly and seated ourselves. The menu was small but interesting, several grinders, salads and pizza are on offer. We didn't drink so we can't comment on the beer selection, but I saw another patron with a beef flight. I ordered the Havana Dipper : a Cuban type sandwich with chicken, ham red peppers served with a spicy mustard aioli dip.. it was FANTASTIC, one of the best sandwiches I have ever had.. Recommend 100%.. my wife had the Mediterranean Salad, she loved it nut would suggest some Feta cheese and less olives, but she says it was very tasty. We plan on coming back soon

All the food was spot-on and the table all seemed to enjoy their meal choices. Great meeting spot (in the bar area) for a larger group with a lively and fun atmosphere.

Thankfully it was not very busy on a Wednesday at lunchtime, so the food came out much more quickly than expected. I ordered the banh mi wrap with shrimp and it was delightful.

The Hoppy Gnome (downtown Fort Wayne, southeast side of courthouse) - new food menu, you decide!…read more The old food offerings were the reason I came here and the reason I preferred not to come back. I loved the Cuban flavors, unique food items and the variety of tacos. Everyone loves tacos and The Hoppy Gnome did (still does, only 4 versions now) them well. However...after about a half dozen visits...I got bored with the same offerings. On line posters and most frequent customers (according to the manager) tend to favor the old menu. I, personally, found the change very refreshing and delicious! I will be back as there are lots of new things to try! The Hoppy Gnome is located downtown on the southeast side of the court house. You can park in the Citizens Center parking lot for free after 5pm. It is safe and right across the street from The Gnome. Making a reservation is easy on Open Table. I would suggest you do that versus walking in. The inside is still appealing with the bright and colorful industrial decor. They have a large private seating area for parties. They also have a street side outdoor patio. We sat outside on this summer evening. The area is spacious with solid high table furniture. People watching is fun but the traffic can be really loud at times. The new menu has a much broader appeal and less emphasis on Cuban only items. You will find lots of appetizer choices. Salads, burgers, flatbreads, pasta, seafood and chicken dishes are available. There are a decent number of specialty entrees and four varieties of tacos. All items pretty reasonably priced. Here is a run down on the food we ordered: -Chicken Flatbread: the crust was a little thicker than a normal thin crust and very soft; the manager said they really researched out this crust to fit their style; lots of delicious grilled chicken and toppings; very tasty! -Miso Honey Wings: 8 medium sized wings that are grilled and dipped; slightly crunchy skins; all white color on the inside but perhaps a little over cooked as the wing meat was tough and a bit dry; very unique sauce - very thick, sticky and rich in consistency; mild amount of sweetness and teriyaki flavors. The manager says about 70% of the people that order wings get the Miso Honey sauce. This dish was very good also! -Side salad: nice sized side salad; very fresh and attractive; no iceberg lettuce here - real greens; nice garnishment of carrots, cucumbers and roasted red peppers The team here was very friendly and professional - per normal. They hustled to serve. We particularly enjoyed sharing our experience with the manager and getting insight on the changes. Give the new menu a try for yourself!!

It tastes like it is buttered and toasted; certainly elevated the flavor. Price was not bad at all and they gave a very large craft beer menu. Definitely stop by Swig to enjoy a good meal!

These are the only good things about our visit. Friend ordered the special burger (jalapeño bacon jam) medium rare. Came out over cooked, dry, flavorless and not even lukewarm.

The pork was good and if you like cheese sauce from a can overcooked pasta with soggy undercooked onion rings on top then this is your dish!! Needless to say we cannot understand how Tollys stays in business but then where else is there in Greenville to eat? Sloopys - go there and get good burgers and decent pizza.
