The new layered wine menu offers 275 wines, about a third of them by the glass...M's is likely one of the few restaurants in the United States where one could order a $6 hamburger and a $786 bottle of wine. M's was the #1 wine account restaurant in Nebraska for 8 years and has been overtaken only by its sister restaurant, Vivace, next door." --Jim Delmont, Omaha World-Herald, 1997 402.342.2550 422 South 11th Street Omaha Nebraska Map
