Tater tots

CHRIS MACHIAN / THE WORLD-HERALD



V. Mertz

Unrivaled Old Market eatery features new American cuisine, "Iron Chef"-style plates and top-drawer service. Despite occasional lapses in flavor, we enjoyed many heavenly bites in this tucked-away former fruit cellar. Bring your wallet and forget your watch: Five- and eight-course tasting menus (with or without wine pairings) on Fridays and Saturdays, make for memorable splurges.

Where: 1022 Howard St.

Hours: 5:30 p.m. to at least 9:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Information: 345-8980 or www.vmertz.com

Prices: $40 to $70 per person for an entrée and a drink, $60 to $150 per person for tasting menus)

Mom scoop: Save this one for a romantic date night. It's not geared -- or priced -- for tots.
