Ok, a couple of caveats. This was our first time here. It was also 5pm on Mother's Day. Peak time…read moreof the busiest day of the restaurant year. I understand also they were short-staffed. The food was wonderful, from the sausage appetizer thru to the tiramisu cake and the lemon marzipan cake. Our server Eliza was a delight. Truly a delight. I waited 40 minutes to receive my draft beer. I waited 45 minutes to receive my espresso drink after our meal. The staff was apologetic and solicitous toward us. Overall a fine experience. Again, peak business on the busiest day of the year. We will be back. Absolutely. The atmosphere and feel of the place exudes family. It's hard to be mad at family. We expect to post a 5-star review next time we come. I'd be surprised if we experience anything other than that.

There's plenty of bar seating and a few tables. They also have a coin operated billiards table. There is a side room that is used for Drag shows and other events. The prices were reasonable and they have a great wine selection. There is an adjacent private parking lot and an area out back as well.

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.

We saved time & money not driving out of town on a random birthday Tuesday off work. We arrived @7:30 w/out reservations with no problem because they weren't busy.

I had the steak & lobster and added the Caesar salad. Jonah made our Caesar tableside which is a nice experience. I loved the seasoning on the steak and lobster but also had to take some home.
