    V. Mertz is our 'go to' for ultra fine dining in Omaha. Have been several times, and have NEVER had a bad, or even a mediocre experience. Rather, the staff is ALWAYS attentive, the food is ALWAYS excellent, and the ambience is ALWAYS perfect. Its very romantic. Are there other restaurants that might give you a similar experience? I'm sure ... but they are few and far between. Nobody else has the location though.... from the moment you step off the street into the Old Market Passageway, the ambience and sense of a special experience kicks in. I don't want to say 'exclusive', this is no South Beach or Beverly Hills experience ... nor would we want it to be. Rather, its a chance to experience the best parts of a South Beach or Beverly Hills dining experience, right here in Omaha. We started off with drinks .... it seems the bar staff are constantly experimenting and the drinks menu offers a combination of old stalwarts as well as new concoctions. Of course, a great wine and beer selection! No matter what you choose, you won't go wrong. Of course, the food ... oh my, the food. NEVER a bad item coming out of the kitchen. From the appetizers (we had the charcuterie and a cheese tray) through the main course and finally finishing with expresso and a dessert as fine as anything you might find in Paris or Rome ... you'll leave after just a few hours knowing you've experienced dining nirvana. Book your reservation, give yourself a little extra time to find parking and enjoy the early evening ambience of the Old Market, and don't worry about the details ..... they've got them all covered.

    V.Mertz is world class! Hands down our favorite fine dining restaurant in Omaha. David is nothing short of a rockstar! We just let him drive and we have the best experience. My Bride had the pasta and I had the scallops. Both fantastic! Thank you for yet another wonderful dinner!

    We had a fabulous experience. Our service was top notch, the atmosphere was lovely and the food was delicious! I highly recommend the bread service. I had the scallops and my husband had the beef tenderloin, both were amazing and the presentation was impressive too. This is a perfect place for a special dinner!

    Finding the restaurant was a bit of a struggle coming from small town living, but it was so lovely and the staff was very friendly. The duck breast was so good, and the wagyu steak was tender. We enjoyed every part of our meal.

    Our first time to V Mertz. The table location next to the bar was ok just not romantic like we'd hoped for our 20 year anniversary. Johanna our server was wonderful. So kind and helpful. We wanted a bottle of wine that was online menu but not on paper menu. She had then look and they found it for us. The food was excellent. We had the focaccia, pasta and scallops. Everything was perfect. We will definitely return.
