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!

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.

The kitchen of V. Mertz celebrates life through creative exploration of food. Each dish we had was simultaneously unique and a variation on a theme. The tasting menu offered incredibly complex flavor destinations on an expertly booked journey. The savory bread roll, risotto, and lamb were especially delicious and the sous chef’s experimental sweet potato pie foie gras paired with a bold Sauternes wine was like walking through a portal into fall nostalgia. Every member of the staff contributed to a perfect evening but Drew happened to be our guide through the dinner of the year.

We had such a lovely time at V. Mertz! From the moment we sat down, everything felt special and thoughtfully done. The bread was incredible, the steaks were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the overall experience was just wonderful.
Our waiter truly made the night, he was so professional and attentive, and I absolutely loved his bow tie! He had the perfect balance of polished service and witty humor, which made the evening feel both elevated and relaxed at the same time.
And the crème brûlée… hands down the best in the city. The perfectly crisp sugar top with that creamy, rich center, absolute perfection.
It was one of those dinners that just feels memorable from start to finish. We can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely incredible service, food, and atmosphere. I took my girlfriend here for Valentine’s Day and with her having celiac disease, it can be stressful for her to eat out. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and the kitchen staff were very accommodating for her diet, and the quality of the food was excellent. Will definitely be back here!

Little late on the review but better late than never! I came in for a birthday dinner. I absolutely loved that the menus said Happy Birthday! Overall I felt the food was good but not wow. The appetizer and the dessert left a little to be desired, but the main course was fantastic! I will say that all the dishes were visually stunning.

Best dining experience in Omaha, hands down. The food is out of this world. If Michelin cared about Omaha, they’d have a star. The service is top notch, probably the finest service in town. They love to share their passion for food, wine, and a great experience with their guests. HIGHLY recommend.

We absolutely LOVE this place. Never a bad experience dining here and we eat here at least twice a year. The tartare and duck are my personal favorites. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. We appreciate the wine recommendations as well as we prefer southern hemispheres wines. This is one of the best, if not the best, fine dining restaurants in Omaha.

Celebrated my wife’s birthday and it did not disappoint! Service was excellent. We did the tasting menu and everything was well prepared, very tasty, and filling. The wine pairing with the tasting menu was fantastic as well. After asking about the foie gras dish on the a la carte menu (preparation etc.), we were very grateful to have it offered to us as a gift for no charge!
Fantastic venue that has won us food connoisseurs over as future regulars. For those looking for a fine dining tasting menu esque experience in Omaha, this is a home-run. The only down side I would say, is that it was a little noisy in there; not necessarily a negative mark on the restaurant or staff or anything like that, but just something to potentially keep in mind. But overall, was a great date and we will look forward to next time!
