Mara's has a modest menu that is diverse and extremely tasty. The wine selection is exceptional. The specials very and are something to look forward to and the service is personable and efficient. All the meals are prepared to order and may take a little bit longer than the chain restaurants many people are accustomed to. The salmon is the best you can get outside of the Great Northwest of the United States.

This is sooo not what you'd expect from the outside. It looks like a typical small house that might serve average, mom and pop type food...it's not! The wait staff is very professional and can hold their own with any high end, gourmet restaurant. The food is BEYOND amazing...nothing that you would expect to find in Lima...their seafood selection is perfection. My steak filet was amazing! Ginormous selection of wines...nice selection of bourbon as well. Definitely not a casual dinner place. You'll need to make reservations as it is small.

Fantastic steaks, cook as ordered with good sides, attentive servers, very cozy atmosphere. Amazing selection of seafood, salmon, sea bass , Mai mai (dolphin), scallops, seared tuna, lobster tails, shrimp. Comparable with best restaurant's in Houston and other big cities. Very large wine selection. Large desert selections.

I was doing a search on Google maps for something new to try and found Mara's. Normally, I want to see the menu and although they didn't have one on their website, the pictures of the food that others had posted drew me in. When we arrived there was only one other table occupied but by the time we left several were. It is obvious that the locals know about this place and we were glad to know it now ourselves. You can peruse a vast selection of wine that they display & are able to choose any of them to have with your dinner. Pretty fun idea. The server was excellent and it was obvious to us that she was a professional, not just someone filling a waitressing position. The food was exceptional and my husband and I enjoyed it all. We started with the calamari with sweet chili mayo sauce and then chose the pork chop with sweet potatoes & the sweet chili salmon with couscous. Both were cooked perfectly and each side dish complimented the meats very well. If you are near Lima or passing through, definitely try this place. You will not be disappointed.
