Excellent food and excellent service. V. Mertz is definitely one of Omaha's best restaurants and a must try for visitors. I highly recommend their bread service and Wagyu New York strip.

Long time favorite. Menu process has changed but tasting menu was very good. Excellent service. They crumb your table between courses, love that. Wine pairing was great and very well presented by the sommelier. A tremendous experience of a meal. Probably still our favorite in Omaha.

V Mertz is absolutely the best New American small-plate dining in Omaha. High quality, locally-sourced ingredients and an attention to both taste and presentation make this a favorite romantic spot in the heart of the Old Market.

Might win the award for best service in town. V Mertz is a true Omaha classic that has survived changes in menu and management and has been able to maintain an elite dining experience. The location in the passageway and dark and inviting room make for a memorable dinner every time.

Really a 5 star restaurant. You should be able to satisfy any wine taste and/or food and wine pairing. Menu is diverse. We opted for the tasting menu (it's the second time we've done that option). For tasting menu, plan on 2.5-3 hours. We have been going here for several years, low staff turnover and they are all extremely awesome at making you feel welcome. It is pricey, but certainly worth it from what you would pay locally for comparable service.

I finally got a chance to try the chef's tasting menu at V. Mertz and it was everything I hoped it would be. Every course was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, the wine pairings were generous and well chosen, and service was on point the whole time.If you prefer to order à la carte, there are many options to choose from, and if you like to choose your own wine, they've got a staggering selection ranging from the affordable to the very rare.The restaurant itself is beautiful, too. I love the quiet, intimate setting in the Old Market Passageway.V. Mertz belongs in the top tier of Omaha's fine dining spots. I can't wait to go back.

This was my first time here and it was great! The service is top notch. I had the 22oz bone in New York steak and It was delicious. For desert I had creme brûlée. Man that was really good. If there is a downside it's in downtown and parking is on the street.

We did the cheese plate and the 12 course tasting menu. Everything was wonderful. The reconstruction of chicken into a log thing and sliced was my least favorite, but still good. The bathrooms need to be made to match the quality of food and price being paid. Over all, excellent meal and Wonderful service. We will be back for future tasting menus!!

I can’t stop talking about this place. I have eaten all the fancy steakhouses in Omaha and have tried others from out of state, but V. Mertz blows it out of the water! The bone in tomahawk ribeye was easily the best entree I have ever eaten! My taste buds were in heaven and the polenta complimented the dish beautifully. The service and atmosphere was fantastic! This is a hidden gem and is well worth every penny! Check it out, it will be your new favorite!

We had a fabulous dinner here while in town. The ambiance is great! Ferns, brick and water fountains give the perfect setup for a relaxing dinner. We started with the charcuterie and cheese plates. Great selection and everything was delicious and beautifully presented. For my main, I had the juniper cured scallops and they were fabulous! Perfectly cooked. I also was able to try the chicken mousse stuffed shishito peppers and the waygu steak. Everything was excellent! We had the chocolate mousse terrine, peach dessert, and panna cotta. All were so pretty and tasty!! We were also able to try some of the wonderful wine selection...a red and white. Both were excellent.

They took our coats and seated us. Matt Brown, their wine expert explained all of the wines and their origins to us that he pared with our food! Wonderful wines, delicious! Georgi with an "I" answered all our questions regarding each course. My cocktail was made with fresh juice and tequila and they made it according to what I like, is was awesome! They use fresh ingredients when preparing your meal . It was an excellent meal in great atmosphere! You can dress casual or really dress up it all works. V. Mertz set my pallet on fire...loved IT! Just tell them Dee from Embassy Suites sent you!

I've been here a few times while attending conventions. They have some of the best food in a low-key high-class environments. The menu is new every time. My only gripe is that I wish their dessert menu was as differing as their primary menu. Things seem to not change much on that menu.

We were surprised that a restaurant of this caliber was not higher up on the TripAdvisor list. It is also not an easy find. No one at the hotel or our hotel shuttle driver heard of it, and it's been around for almost 20 years! Located downstairs in the passageway of the Old Market, this off-the-beaten path gem is truly unique. Where else can you dine outside in an air-conditioned courtyard?The food is fresh, and the menu changes daily. House-cured meats, cold soups, and a long list of shareable plates makes up a nice menu. A French restaurant is not complete without a French server, and ours was very helpful, polite, and friendly!

Thanks for making our anniversary so special. EVERYONE said happy anniversary and they even went out of their way to print a unique menu that said happy anniversary. Doesn't hurt that the food is basically the best in Omaha either.
