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. It was my 55th birthday and they brought me a nice cupcake with a huge firecracker . We took home a sampling of desserts for later.

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.

Yelp did its job, as usual. We were seated immediately and the restaurant has a great vibe - comfortable seating, nice decor, and spotlessly clean. Our waiter was very attentive and gracious. We ordered the fresh guacamole as a starter and enjoyed a burrito platter and an enchilada platter (with rice and beans). Delicious flavor and huge portions The only real surprise was the fried topping on the guacamole. I think they were pork rinds... we tried a few but elected to go old school with tortilla chips. Service was fast. The food was really good. The menu is large - but I found every feature I was considering. This is just a few minutes from I-75 and I would drive by the 10+ options again to dine here.

China Buffet has quite a few really negative reviews and I am not sure why that is. If you are a…read moreperson who frequents buffets like China Buffet, you should know what to expect. The food isn't Michelin stared by any means, but usually, it isn't bad. If you have eaten at China Buffet and expected a fine dining experience, you were in the wrong place. China Buffet is your typical asian style buffet. Lots of booths and tables in sectioned off areas, two to three (sometimes more) steam tables to keep the food hot, and the typical red, green, and gold color scheme I've come to expect. You can't forget about the tchotchkes that are available for sale at the register! The funny thing is I sometimes get the feeling of being back in China when I walk in to some buffets here in the U.S.. I've been in several restaurants in China that have a similar vibe and feeling. China Buffet in Lima is clean-ish. It does show its age, but it isn't filthy. The staff is very nice and friendly, and they do speak English for those reviews that said they don't. In fact, they speak better English than may Chinese buffets I have been to. The buffet has many of the food options you expect to see on a buffet. Rice, fried rice, lo mein noodles, rice noodles, pepper steak, General Tso's chicken, honey chicken, green beans, egg rolls, sweet & sour chicken, etc., etc., etc.. The food was hot, tasted good, and varied in selection. The food was fresh, and was replenished on a regular basis. All in all, I enjoyed my lunch at China Buffet. If you go to China Buffet expecting world-class food options, staff in penguin attire, and perfect American English, then maybe China Buffet isn't the place for you. Wendy's and McDonalds are just down the street. However, if you are a veteran of Chinese buffets, and can take the good with the not so good, then give China Buffet a try. You may not care for everything but I am sure you will find something to your liking.
