The Met

Wonderful food and cozy atmosphere in this downtown local. Good wine selection, with flights of 3 selected wines, or customize your own flight. We enjoyed the slightly upscale, eclectic vibe. Wait staff was most accommodating. We certainly plan to return!

This is a gem of a discovery for anyone looking for fantastic food, reasonably priced, in a comfortable but classy atmosphere. The chef truly shows off her creativity in a menu that is frequently changing and features asian,  mexican, and italian flavors (during the times I visited).

Wine selection also very good, likely the best in Lima, and reasonably priced.

If you are looking for a fantastic place to dine with your significant other, or enjoy a great meal and drinks with friends, you cannot pass up The Met!!!

I, for one, will make it a frequent destination.

Fantastic restaurant in the heart of downtown Lima, Ohio.  What a treat.  Their menu is comprised of what some might consider "small" plates but they are very tasty.  The  wine selections are excellent and the staff will help you choose a bottle or two from the wall.  The beer selections were also a real pleasure - large selection of some that were unusual, at least to me.  The baked bread, meat and cheese plate and seared scallop dish (served with a basil risotto) were delicious.  I asked if the chef was the owner because  you can watch the chef prepare the food and I thought this might have been a matter of pride for him or her.  We didn't have the desserts but the waitress boasted that the Mello Cream Bread Pudding was one of her favorites (made with Mello cream doughnuts).  There really is nothing like this in Buffalo and it would be a real plus if there was.  Driving through Lima, make it a point to stop.  It is right across from the Courthouse.  Find them on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FTheMet306.com&s=1d4fc8e40b7836a7e92b0ae899af261592abd710bfbfc94ec032096a30c3ab0d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://TheMet306.com</a>.  Would advise checking the times they are open.
