“Came to celebrate my partners birthday. Everything was delightful! Not everything was my taste but that's not on them! Everything I did like was fabulous! The small plates are great for sharing. Our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. I don't think my water ever got below half full. The cavier service was great. Adding a happy birthday message to the menus for the evening was such a nice personal touch!”

“Stopped by the passageway gallery. Stunning alleyway with an assortment of beautiful plants and old brick charm. Decided to really treat myself as I'm flying solo on a work trip... PHE-NOM-EN-AL. Most delicious cut of ribeye I've ever had... The wine paired perfectly. The Matilda cake with Kopke Porto... All to die for.. if you're in Omaha and are looking for a unique meal, visit V. Mertz. You couldn't possibly be disappointed”

“This is an absolute, hands-down, MUST-TRY in Omaha. The food is always fresh, they redo the menu frequently to highlight in-season favorites and they source their food almost completely locally (I believe). I’ve never had a less than an excellent experience and I’ve been here almost a half dozen times.”

“The best and fanciest place in all of down town! The food is simply delicious, many gluten free options! Went on a date here with my lovely boyfriend. The waiter was very pleasant and helpful in deciding on food and regularly checked in on us. It was Valentine’s Day and not sure why but we got free dessert! What a treat! Amazing service, those cooks are incredibly talented, servers friendly, and beautiful environment. Pricey but absolutely worth it.”

“There truly aren’t enough words to capture the phenomenal dining experience my team and I — a group of more than 20 professionals — had at this remarkable establishment! From start to finish, every detail reflected an extraordinary level of care, passion, and hospitality. The food was nothing short of exquisite — each dish thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Every plate told a story of culinary expertise and dedication. The wine and cocktail pairings were spot-on, perfectly complementing the flavors and enhancing the overall dining experience. The service was equally impressive. Despite the size of our group, the staff never missed a beat. They were attentive without being intrusive, warm without being overbearing, and professional while still creating an atmosphere that felt comfortable and personal. The ambiance completed the experience — elegant yet inviting, refined yet relaxed. It’s clear that the team here takes pride not only in what they serve but also in how they make guests feel. A special thank-you to the bartenders, wait staff, and sommelier, whose expertise elevated the evening, and to the kitchen team, whose creativity and skill made the magic happen behind the scenes. Simply put: you haven’t truly experienced Omaha until you’ve dined here. I’m already looking forward to returning later this week during my conference — and this restaurant is now officially marked as a Favorite on my Google Maps. Without a doubt, this will be a regular stop every time I’m in town!”
