V. Mertz

A must do for any special occasion or a nice dinner out. In my opinion, reasonably priced for the quality. Would recommend the Nebraska steaks hands down! Service was attentive, took care of my celiac sister and explained what she could and could not have. Personalized menus for my mom's birthday and they were willing to split the bill in a complex way as well. Overall anything here you'll enjoy I'm sure. A top 10 restaurant in any market and a delight for the Omaha area to have. Don't sleep on this classic.

V Mertz has the hands down best tasting menu in Omaha. The food is always perfect, and the wine pairings are spot on. It's a beautiful location, especially if you can sit in the pathway. Our server last night, Simon, was on top of everything, kind, and knowledgeable. 10/10

Simply not what it used to be. New owners, new chefs, but new isn't necessarily better. The attitude that this establishment exudes is based on the restaurant from 20 years ago. This is now something closer to an upscale chain.

It took me far too long to finally get around to eating at V. Mertz. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to answer all our questions about it. We chose to do this sharing family style and I'm glad we did so that we could try more things. Some of the plates are very small so it is worth asking about sizes if you plan to share. While all of it was so incredible, my favorites must have been the cabbage wrapped halibut, tomahawk steak, the pierogi, and the short rib pasta- basically all of it! It was also so intriguing being in one of the oldest buildings in old market and the vibe was sophisticated. Great for a celebration dinner

We had a lovely (day before) Valentine's dinner at V. Mertz. We requested to sit in the passageway, and you can't beat the ambiance. We split a bottle of pinot noir and started with the bread service. The bread was clearly freshly made and had a delicious crust and soft, fluffy interior. The salted butter on the side was a great addition.I opted for the steak. The roasted butternut squash on the side was not what I pictured, but it was tasty nonetheless. The steak itself was very flavorful, especially when smeared with the peppercorn sauce. My boyfriend had the duck. To be honest, the duck was pretty chewy. However, the rub on the outside was absolutely delicious. It also came with potato gnocchi which may have been the most delicious bite of the whole meal. I just wish it came with a little more. I will say, service was pretty slow and it wasn't that busy. Plan to be here for well over an hour. But you can't beat the location for a romantic dinner!

Took a weekend trip to Omaha for a family event, but managed to steal away for a date night with my husband. V.Mertz was listed as one of the better restaurants in Omaha, so we were very excited to give it a try. The restaurant is very lovely. Below street level in a dimly lit, romantic setting. Gorgeous ambiance - a perfect date spot for sure.Bread service isn't free, but it's only $5. You get four toasty coconut rolls; so crusty and soft at the same time. Very very good!Artisan cheese plate was fantastic! Served with butter crackers and some multi grain sourdough cracker that was super good. Round out with some fruit jam, house made whole grain mustard, pickled onion, diced swiss chard, almonds, and three lovely cheeses. A absolutely wonderful dish!At the time we went, there was a divine butternut squash risotto. I see now they have a black truffle risotto instead. If the truffle one is as good as the butternut one, no doubt I would love it. I crave a creamy, flavorful, decadent risotto. The butternut one had kombucha marinated diced pear, garlic chips, edible flowers, and a bit of hot sauce. Such a beautifully presented dish. Hopefully they still serve this from time to time - if so, GET IT.My husband ordered the 14oz wagyu ribeye (which isn't on their current menu). It was such a huge piece - way too big for one person (not complaining!) ... It was cooked slightly under his preference, but that wasn't a big deal. It was served with broccolini and sweet potato gnocchi. He did say there wasn't anything super special about the sides; they were good/fine.We had a great time at V.Mertz. The meal was wonderful, service was very good. I would absolutely go back and try more things from their menu. Highly recommended!

We were in town visiting family, and they took us to have dinner at V. Mertz. They had said it is the best steak in Omaha, and I think they are absolutely correct!While it was certainly the most expensive steak I have ever ordered, it was the best steak I have ever had in my life thus far! It melted in my mouth like butter. I ordered the fillet, and the waitress told us that it comes with a sauce that only adds to it, and she was right. Everything was just perfect. My husband shared the tomahawk with my step dad, and he also said it was the best steak he has ever had.It is also located in a really cute alley inside a building. The ambience is great.I'm still dreaming about this meal and I can't wait to go back and have it again on a future visit for a special occasion.

Visited V. Mertz in Omaha during a weekend from Des Moines. Located in a charming European-style alley, the setting is wonderfully different. The restaurant's atmosphere is warm and welcoming with soft lighting. Exceptional service throughout the evening complemented our well-crafted drinks. We enjoyed a selection of starters--the foie gras terrine and bread service were highlights. Some dishes like the salmon tartare and Turkish dumplings didn't quite hit the mark for us, but overall, it was a memorable experience with reasonable prices. It's a place I'd return to, and it left me wanting to discover more of Omaha.

Came here on a Friday night and the food was amazing. Great location, parking was a bit tough but overall would highly recommend for a higher end dinner experience

I called ahead to let them know this was our 32nd anniversary and they did not disappoint. From the single red rose in a vase for my bride, very special meaning and too long to describe here, to Johanna remembering every detail I discussed with the manager, it was perfect. Look at the personalized menu! We started with a couple cocktails, never rushed as we sipped and enjoyed each other. The first course was the salmon, pictured, and the pickled shallots with avocado crème added a delicious twist. She had the black cod, the memory of that flavor and texture will swim around in our heads for a while. My tenderloin was prepared perfectly and speaking of swimming, the sauce served with it I would bathe in. We finished with THE BEST crème brûlée we have ever had. The room was warm and comfortable and the noise level was enchanting. Bravo to V Mertz for making our night so special!
