The Michelin star is well-deserved. I'm beating myself up for coming here the first time in Season 11. What were we thinking? Shame. Admittedly, this is not an inexpensive experience but so worth it. The experience starts before you arrive with outreach from the team that signaled how things were going to go. Flowers at the table? Pre-order wine? Special occasion? Certainly white glove service. Upon arrival you are seated in the Lounge for a drink and Amuse bouche x 4. Each a great starter. The Sommelier comes by to see if you want the pairing or prefer something else. In our case, we ordered a bottle of red (Barolo) and white (Albariño). Then we are seated in the intimate dining room where the magic begins. Over seven courses and 2.5 hours we are brought through a Mediterranean journey, expertly designed to take us through the current season - Espana Verde. To explain the menu wouldn't be fair. However, there was a sashimi tuna course; salad course with bread, olives, sardines, some kind of spread with pickled vegetables and we added a supplement of caviar and baby Spanish eels; lamb was expertly cooked and tender; Wagyu was exactly what you want it to be; and desserts were great. So good! Service was excellent, unobtrusive yet there when you needed. Wonderful! Can't wait to return. read more

Service was pretty good, but expected better from a Michelin started place. Trying a little too hard. Food was average, 3 of the 7 courses were very good. I expect 7 out of 7 for the price/hype. Ambiance was muted, not great. read more

Let me start off by saying that I don't hand out 5's very easily! We flew in to TX by way of Austin and drove to Houston! We figured we would try to see if there were any open reservations for the night we planned and it all worked out in the most sincerest of ways that I can mention! We were there to celebrate a birthday and a family member's first Michelin rated restaurant. Also, we got to hang out at the lounge for a bit and had a splash. And we had a mini tasting which was not part of the main menu, but it definitely made us want to enjoy the actual courses that were to follow. We made a reservation for the 6 course meal even though we kicked ourselves in the rear for not having reserved the 9 course meal, but that's okay! The experience was delightful as they took us on a culinary trip down the old Mediterranean countries known as the Levant. Mezze was delectable and I'm not an olives person, but it went well with the whole portion of this dish. Amberjack crudo was definitely my favorite experience after this. Carrots - this literally was it! Molokhia was good, but it didn't give me the wow factor I thought it would but it was still good. Beef Cheek Fattoush! They had me at beef cheek! Also, it paired well with the watermelon! Dates - very light and fluffy and super fun to see. We had a couple of other desserts to try as well! By the time the last dessert was served, we were genuinely full! Not over the top full, but content type of full. The servers were amazingly patient and extremely attentive while switching during the next menu pairing. I would definitely want to visit when they have a new season. I'll be on the lookout so I can schedule my next vacation to Houston. Oh, and the menu with our person's name was a great touch! This definitely made me appreciate the restaurant a lot more. read more

The Levant menu was another winner for us! We went with friends in November and really enjoyed this seasons 6 course tasting menu. Favorites were the carrots (March does veggies so well!), Mezze and Beef Cheek Fattoush. Can't wait to see what they cook up next! read more

The is is truly a Michelin experience. From drinks and small appetizers in the lounge to the seemingly endless courses that tickled each sense, it was a very satisfying experience. Fine dining at its finest. The service was impeccable. It is definitely on the pricey side but you will not feel slighted at the end. Wonderful experience read more

We were super excited to dine here knowing it was a hot ticket. Service was excellent. The wine pairings were great as well. I will say that I was underwhelmed with most of the dishes. Some were good...others not. Maybe the tire guys got it wrong. ‍ read more

I returned to March and found that the tasting menu felt even more harmonious than my last visit--surprises and thoughtful pacing throughout the evening made it feel matured and fully dialed in. One of the standout moments was the carrot dish: ras el hanout, chamomile yogurt, kashk and caviar. What began as a humble root vegetable was transformed into an extraordinary plate of complexity and flavour--sweet and salty in perfect balance. Other highlights included the beef chewck fattoush: the richness of the beef cheek paired with black lime tatbila, watermelon and za'atar created a surprising and delightful contrast of savoury depth and crisp freshness. And the molokhia--red sea bream, hummus, green shatta, vermicelli rice--where the flavours shifted from floral beginnings to heat as you progressed through the bite, showing great depth of composition. What elevates the experience beyond the food is the storytelling by the service staff: every dish and wine pairing was explained with insight and care, making the entire evening feel like a carefully curated culinary journey (and that alone is worth this adventure). If you're looking for a fine-dining experience in Houston where flavour, concept and hospitality converge--March hits the mark. read more

Overall: This is one of the most elevated dining experiences I've ever had. March boasts a Michelin star, which I think is well deserved. Everything is luxurious, from the cocktail lounge to the dining room, from the first course to dessert. Service is immaculate and each food course is thoughtful and works as part of the full meal. On the evening we went to dinner, the theme of the meal was the Italian city of Genoa, which permeated each course and was described as each dish was brought out. We had the 6 course chef's menu, which ended up being about 8-9 courses with all of the extras thrown in. Nothing is particularly large, but you end up full by the end. It's an excellent overall experience. Food: 5 Drinks: 5 Service: 5 Value: N/A Atmosphere: 5 Food: We had the 6 course tasting menu. The food started out in the cocktail lounge, where we were given four different bites, each themed after a different herb. These were some of my favorite bits of food of the entire evening, as I thought each was unique and really had a strong flavor that set you up for the meal. The six courses of the tasting menu slowly built from ceviche, to salad, to savory dishes, then to dessert. I particularly enjoyed the ceviche, sablefish, and lemon sorbet dessert, though everything was delicious. The menu changes regularly, so its fun to go back for a new experience. My only complaint is that each course is very complex, and the food is only descried verbally in the moment - I wish I had a menu describing the dish so that I could try to pick out and identify each of the flavors and combinations being provided. Drinks: The drink menu in the cocktail lounge is limited to ~5 of their specialty drinks, but they will make anything you can describe to them. Their specialty is their martini, which is made with several types of gin and their house-made vermouth. I'm not typically a fan of martinis, but this one is the best I've had. At dinner we had a bottle of wine. The wine list seems endless, but the sommelier was very helpful in steering us towards a bottle that went with our dinner, catered to our palettes, and was within a reasonable price range. Service: Service here is amazing and part of the experience. You interact with a full array of staff members who serve, describe various aspects of the food and drink, and provide overall service. This level of service is one of the highlight of the meal. Value: Expensive. Go for the experience, not the price. Atmosphere: The entire dinner is experience. The evening starts in the cocktail lounge with a full array of hors d'oeuvres. The dinner then proceeds to the dining room. With a group of 5, we were seated at one of the larger tables at the end of the restaurant. It was nice and well decorated while still giving us space to talk. Everything was positioned to be elegant and luxurious. read more

December '24 was my second visit to March but first visit post-awarding of the well-deserved Michelin star. After trying all Houston one-star restaurants, March is by far my favorite... tbh, one of my top 3 meals from any Michelin-starred restaurant. This place gives alllll the fancy vibes and is *the* place to impress. TLDR: WORTH THE PRICE! Tips: (1) Reserve ahead, (2) take an Uber - especially if having the wine pairing, (3) have the wine pairing, (4) six courses is enough, (5) try the martini, and (6) veg subs for dishes with foie gras must be requested in advance. Our most recent visit was during the "Genova" menu and the time before was somewhere in Greece... whatever is the current menu theme, though, they do an amazing job of curating and sourcing area-specific dishes & components. The meal is like a mini geography/history lesson. I especially love that they infuse their own vermouth, unique to every menu, which is a welcome drink upon arrival (and part of their incredible martini). On both of our visits, we did the 6-course meal and on both visits, we were SO full by the end. There are several "bonus" courses (i.e. lounge snacks), so I can't imagine how people finish the 9-course menu! We did opt for the wine pairing both times and were not disappointed. All the food is great - the menu is set and changes frequently, so no use promoting specific dishes. I *will* promote the lounge martini, though. I'm going back to the lounge for the martini alone. They do serve foie gras now, which is pretty much the only food I refuse to eat for humanitarian reasons - but you can note a request for a vegetarian sub on any foie gras dishes. Multiple servers mentioned they even liked the vegetarian mousse better than the foie gras mousse from the Genova menu. The service is top-notch, as to be expected. They select (and you don't have to ask) for the black or white napkin. People were by our table all the time, and they recognize that the dinner IS the main event for the evening and don't try to rush you out. After dinner, guests are sent home with a little goody bag that includes MORE sweet treats and housemade herbal tea blend - which I ate/drank immediately upon returning home. Thank you to March for a great 5th marriage anniversary dinner, as well as birthday dinner! read more

I've been eyeing this spot for a while, and my boyfriend decided to make a reservation for our anniversary. Shortly after, March was awarded with a Michelin star, so I was extra excited to try this restaurant out! The service here was amazing. All the staff were lovely. The timing of each course was perfect, and everything was thoroughly explained. The whole experience lasted about 2.5 hours for the 6 course tasting menu. There were also some complimentary items sprinkled in between which was nice. At the end we received a bag to bring home which contained a box of treats, 2 tins of tea, a happy anniversary card signed by the staff, and the menu. The focus of their current tasting menu is The Republic of Genova. I believe this menu started in August and extends through December 2024. You start off in the quiet, dimly lit lounge area where you're served drinks and a snack tile consisting of 4 bite sized snacks. Then you transition to the dining area to begin your main courses. Unfortunately, we weren't very impressed with the food we were served. The only things we really enjoyed were the first course, capponada, and the lemon sorbet dessert. Everything else was either bland, or I just didn't like the flavor. I found myself just wanting each course to end, but pushing through because I didn't want to waste any food or be impolite. I don't know, maybe this current menu just wasn't for us, and their other ones were better. read more

Despite usually not reviewing fine dining on Yelp, with the release of the inaugural Michelin Guide for Texas for 2024, I figured I'd provide my thoughts on March in Houston. My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary with the 9-course Exploration Tasting, the theme this season being 'La Superba: The Republic of Genova'. Went here late October, this was my second time at March. FOOD Overall, very solid food, and you can see how the chef's experience and journey to explore his heritage is expressed in the food. I would say food is more storytelling rather than hyper creative/innovative. The capponada (fish soup) and preboggion (salad) were particularly fantastic, very balanced. The two desserts were also noteworthy, very different from other starred places I've been to. My least favorite was the halibut, which was the simplest preparation, and somewhat the oddest, given I'm pretty sure it's not based in the Mediterranean. While beautiful, the Maialino di Latte was a little dry and, to me, not quite luxurious enough to be the final savory main course. SERVICE/AMBIENCE Nice presentation and plating throughout. Good pacing, didn't feel too rushed. Always a treat to start with the lounge for a quick aperitif and snacks. Service was good: waiters exhibited decent soigné, pushing you in when you sit, refolding napkin when you go to the restaurant, open-handed setting, walking with hands behind back, congratulating our anniversary, etc. VERDICT March is THE restaurant in Houston to celebrate anniversaries and birthdays in an intimate setting. If there was a restaurant that would get 2 Michelin stars in Texas, I have no doubt it'd be March. Excited to see what chef comes up with next. read more

I feel really lucky to have experienced this amazing restaurant just a few weeks before they got their first Michelin star. It's so evident why they were among the first Houston restaurants to earn one: the service, ambiance, and thoughtful attention to food add up to a memorable experience I'll be thinking about for a long time. My boyfriend and I made reservations for the 6-course tasting menu to celebrate a special occasion. Payment is due when the reservation is made, and though the price was steep per person, I found that it was well worth the price. The experience starts off with getting seated in a small alcove for drinks and appetizers, all of which are complimentary outside of the six courses. We were seated shortly afterwards in the dining area for the actual tasting menu. The service team that took care of us were incredibly hospitable, knowledgable, and warm from start to finish, at every level of management. While this is a very high end restaurant, every person we worked with felt very down to earth despite the elevated level of knowledge and care they demonstrated. Each dish was beautifully plated and thoughtfully presented by a server, with an excellent scope with each course progressively showcasing vegetables, pasta, seafood, and meat since we had no dietary restrictions. There were also extra complimentary courses peppered in throughout the night including a bread and butter course and a few extra desserts, and I went home feeling like I had closer to ten courses instead of just six. I highly recommend March- and apparently, so does the Michelin Guide! - Ambiance: 5/5 - Food: 5/5 - Service: 100/5 read more

Great service, great ambiance, great food. It's a fine dining experience. When you get there they serve complimentary drink and snacks. Then they take you to the dining room and they start serving right away. They change up their menu I think every six months. We will be back for the new menu! read more

I had the amazing pleasure of celebrating my birthday last fall at March, just a week before they were awarded one of the first ever Michelin Guide stars in the state of Texas. Unquestionably, this was the best meal I've had in the 2 years since we moved to Houston (and we've eaten everywhere else here that got stars except a BBQ joint in the suburbs). What they do here, from both a culinary and service perspective would make this restaurant a stand-out in any city, though, focusing on very specific regions for each season and highlighting what makes them special through their own sophisticated and modern lens. I love that they nod to tradition but don't obsess over it or let it hold them back. Rather, it becomes the inspiration for a new culinary path forward. I had here the best foie gras dish that I've had in the past 15 years, and that wasn't even my favorite course! (Which was the king crab chawanmushi) The wine pairings (all from the same region as the food inspiration) were all perfect, as were the descriptions and the reasons for their selections. The only possible flaw i could find here is that I wish the lighting was just a bit brighter so I wasn't relying so much on a candle to see my food, but that's just super minor nitpicking. This is honestly worthy of a 2nd star, and I think it's inevitable that Michelin awards it soon. Comparing it to the other 1-star Michelin Guide recipients in Houston is really unfair, as it's for sure on another level. Everything this hospitality group (which also runs Rosie Cannonball and Marigold) does is top-notch within its category, so you always know you're going to be treated well and eating even better. I will say one final note about the "extras" we were sent home with in a cute little bag. They included a birthday card hand-signed by the staff, both the full tasting menu and wine menu write-ups, as well as some treats and teas from the region. This extra level of detail, combined with the incredibly thorough story-telling during dinner, are what "experience" dining should be all about. This little thoughtful things become much more when combined together with the incredible food, and what make March and Goodnight Hospitality stand out from the rest. read more

March transports you to a whole different atmosphere; I think it's one of the finest meals you can have in Houston if you're looking for fine dining. The restraurant itself is beautiful, with an aesthetic that somehow manages to be ethereal yet grounded. My date surprised me with a last minute reservation, and we were welcomed in the bar room with a cocktail. (They're also able to make mocktails for anyone who prefers that route!) I was already enamored by the art on the walls and the fine details, down to the lapel pins worn by the staff. The dining room creates a magical experience with the light colors of the decor, and all of the chairs facing the pass for a clear view of the kitchen. The service is impeccable. Friendly, helpful, and inviting. Our 9 course tasting menu was thoughtfully presented, along with bits of history about each course. Shoutout to Rebecca with the cool eyeglasses, thank you for your welcoming warmth! The wine pairings were fantastic, and I can't wait to come back to both the lounge and the restaurant. Definitely a place that will impress. read more

March is a true Michelin star experience here in Houston and absolutely deserves the star. If you're looking for a lovely evening with a great dinner experience, look no further. March has a very interesting dining experience in that they are a Mediterranean style restaurant that rotates their menus to highlight a different region of the Mediterranean. Each year they have 2 menus. We came on the very last day of their Genova, Italy menu, lucky us! First, you check inn and they take you upstairs to their lounge where you can get started with some light snacks/amuse bouche so to speak, some drinks, and a place to relax while they get your table set up. Snacks were tasty but certainly not the highlight of the whole experience. We were then taken to our dining table in a gorgeous dining room where our servers introduced themselves and explained the menu and the overall experience. Our dinner itself and wine pairings were delicious. We had some lovely dishes that were really quite excellent, especially for the first few. However, I will say that the later savory entrees left a little to be desired. I think they played them a little too safe and typical for the average tasting menu experience, and the last dish, the pork medallion, was overcooked for me. However, the food overall was very good, worthy of a star, and the wine pairing was the best I've had in Houston so far. Dessert was also great, and service was your typical Michelin star service, very attentive to your needs and quick to notice of you needed something. read more

I have been to March twice for two exploration menus. I opted for the 9 course tasting both times. The first time was Genova and I left so disappointed (2/5). I didn't like most of the courses and couldn't wait for the meal to be over. The second time was for Venice, and the meal was much more enjoyable (4/5). On paper what March is doing is wonderful. The service is good and the dishes are plated beautifully. I just don't think it's worth it to pay more than $300 dollars per person (after tip and tax) to see how they do on their next region. read more

So worthy of that Bibendum statue, March is an articulate representation of Houston's inaugural Michelin class. Starting with the smartly unassuming entry and quiet, subtly stunning welcome sip and snack in the lounge, the event eases you into your culinary journey in beautifully staged and scripted fashion. My friend and I partook in the 9-course Exploration Tasting Menu, and we relished in every minute of the adventure through the sweet, savory, earthy, and often complex flavors of Genova. Each bite was unique and the story delightful. My favorite dish was the Capponada, which celebrated the sea, salmon roe pops underscoring the poignant mouthfeel experience. I was least impressed with the Preboggion (salad) course, which I found to be run-of-the-mill in an otherwise eloquent meal that was far from ordinary. Service was warm and welcoming yet polished and refined. We were treated like invited guests, and I very much appreciated the depth of knowledge in the highlighted region and in each facet of the menu. The bag of goodies is a nice touch, reminding me of my 3-star meal in Paris, as it ensures the glorious affair is truly an unforgettable one. read more

Husband and I went to Chefs choice tasting menu for our anniversary. While I cannot recall everything we ate, it was absolutely delicious! The attention to detail in the plated food, quality and creativity, how the waitstaff exits with the food instead of taking the easy route to the table, etc. It was truly a memorable experience! The only feedback... The cake they gave us at the end of our meal because it was our anniversary was not good. It was very dense and not moist/soft at all. The cake lacked flavor as well. When they brought our check, they gave us a three tiered small bites of desserts. One of which was a ginger gummy of sorts. It honestly was VERY bad. I thought we were being pranked it was that awful! I hated that we parted ways with such a let down on desserts after the previous dishes were pretty much a 10! Dessert is my favorite dish to eat so was pretty bummed they failed in this area. Overall it was a great experience just wish dessert was elevated like the other dishes. read more

The service definitely 5* but let down by the ambiance (3*) and food quality (0*). #1 try not to squeeze so many tables into a limited space. I could hear the conversations of both tables next to mine #2 the only memorable dish was the fish I believe to be the 2nd or 3course. The rest of the menu forgettable. #3 the beef cheeks was over cooked to the point of being slightly charred and definitely dry. For a restaurant of March's reputation, I expect a lot more. In and out, five guys and on occasion Burger King and mcd makes much better beef than March read more

March....here's the need to know info! I give it a 5 star review, BUT it's important you customize your visit as needed and learn the menu. Menu: The menu is seasonal, so have a look to see if there's anything that stands out. You also can customize your menu such as "seafood only" or "nothing raw" or "gluten free". This is extremely important b/c it's a fusion journey marrying differentiating flavor profiles and preparation styles, so say what you like/don't like in advance. Experience. You start off in the lounge for complimentary cocktails and light snacks & then transition to the dining room. The staff is 1000% attentive when it comes to service & answering any questions about each dish or wine pairing. The Food: Very good & it's always a range...sweet, savory, both, bitter, textural contrast...all in 1 meal! Now we did Venetian for our menu "April 2025"...9 courses and with wine pairings! You don't get a lot of wine so don't worry...you won't stumble out if you're a drinker, but if you're a lightweight get an Uber/driver because it's both white & red wine. Decor: The lounge is a bit more posh than the dining room which was minimalistic. The lounge is also dark so if you're a photo person or an influencer bright a light or turn on that flash. Price: Our total was $800-$900 for (2) 9 course meals and (1) with a wine pairing. Was it worth it? Yes & I'm no novice to multi course meals/tastings domestic or international, so the price is normal. If you compare, also make sure it's to another experience within the same category & not a standard a la carte restaurant. For what: It's a fun time & is perfect for a girls/guys night out, date night, or a special occasion. read more

Really excellent. Lovely. Wonderful staff and service. Went for the six-course Venice menu. About 1-2x/year I like to spend big money on something that is a stretch of a meal. It helps me to see what a special occasion eating out should be and I should decrease the mindless mediocre take out. I had to change my initial reservation. Called and the scheduler was so nice. Snacks in the den were a delight - from ambiance, to tabletop to tiny surprise tastes. The meal was excellent. Staff describes the dish then I ate it and thought "how did they do that". I'd ask a question and staff would describe about 14 ingredients that again --how did they do that. Favorite course was the wagu. The second desert was a deceiving surprise (in a good way). They explained what it was, and I would also like to buy it from a store front in a regular basis. There were post-dinner tastes which I would spend good money to buy from a storefront. Michelin should go ahead and hang another star. read more

Came here with a group of 4 for a friend's birthday dinner. We made reservations far in advance on Resy and they require you to make a deposit when you book. Parking is valet and located on the side of Rosie Cannonball next to the restaurant entrance. After checking in, you are escorted upstairs where the lounge and main dining area are located. First off was the lounge which has a full bar and comfy lounge seating. They greeted us with a taste of their signature vermouth which was delicious! We ordered pre-dinner cocktails and they gave us small snacks to munch on. After we finished the snacks we were escorted to the main dining area which has a nice, classy atmosphere. For dinner we had the 6 course menu, focused on the Mediterranean, with wine pairings. Each course was well plated with a wonderful presentation. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with the food. Each course was good, but not as amazing as I thought it would have been for the price we paid. There's not a single dish I would come back here for. I did feel satiated after the 6 course meal so I can't even imagine how full I would have been after 9 courses. On a positive note, the servers here are amazing and extremely attentive. They were also patient with us as we were the last customers there and they let us take our time to finish our meals. Overall, I love the vibe and the ambiance of the classy dining room. I know everyone has different palates, so if you have the money to try this place out and are curious, then go for it. Otherwise if you've been on the fence, I don't think this place is worth it for the high price tag. I would definitely come back to their lounge/bar area for drinks though!! read more

We had an amazing time experiencing the March 6-course tasting menu. We had a 7:30pm reservation which started in the lounge with a flavored vermouth tasting and a "snack tile", plus we each ordered a cocktail. After about 50min, our table in the main dining area was ready so we took our cocktails and headed that way. Staff here is so amazing, beautifully describing the food and drink inspirations and ingredients; you can really tell how much thought went into this curated experience. The main dining room is intimate feeling without being crowded; large tables but spread out so you don't feel like you are dining on top of another party. We all opted to add the wine pairing to our food tasting, so each course came with a new wine; not a full glass, but more than a sip or too also...any more and it would have been a party vibe vs classy vibe. All of the courses tasted great; the standouts were the desserts in my opinion, but I am a big dessert fan. In reality, we actually got more than 6 courses if you include the snack tile plus 3 different desserts that were served. All in all, it was a great night. Total dining time was just under 3.5 hours. Complimentary valet available; March is located above Rosie Cannonball. read more

First time trying this new restaurant. We had the 9 course meal and the wine selection. Some were great, some not that great. We came here for our anniversary and they also knew we were celebrating. I was expecting some special desert at the end of the meal but nothing was happening. I was disappointed, knowing that other restaurants surprised us with either Bday or anniversary cake. The greeting at the door by the hostess was un existing, which I was quite taken aback. The place is nice , the service was good. For special occasions I still prefer BCN 10x!!! read more

Food was subpar. over use of Liquid Smoke, small portions (two medallions - about 1.25 oz on beef main). fish at beginning was very fishy almost not fresh tasting for sushi grade.

But mostly overrated overpriced and a stop at Whataburger after spending 1k is really not acceptable, read more

It came as a surprise that we had a Michelin stared restaurant in Houston. It's not easy to get a booking but we received one! From the moment we walked in the door everything was friendly, relaxed but smart. From the cocktails and snack tiles in the reception lounge through to the restaurant everything was just right with wonderful service which was not too intrusive. The cocktails were just right and the snacks as with the current theme was Venitian. We selected six courses rather than nine and this was a good choice because we were full after the sixth course and had to take home the petit fours. My wife had the fish menu and it is interesting to note that only one course differed between our menus. The wine list was restricted in size but the selections were great. We could not finish the last course and we were given a great bag to take home with some petit fours, the menu and some other treats. All in all what a great restaurant! read more

Came to March for their spring menu with expecting a flawless dinner and what I left with was so much more than just a dinner. From the moment you enter, it feels like you are being transported into another city. The hostess greeted us and you can either take the stairs or the elevator to literally elevate your senses. If you want to experience service with fine dining in Houston, look no further. March is it. I am not going to go into the details of each dish or the drinks because everything is just delectable but I will highly recommend the March Martini because of the perfect balance of everything that it is along with the fried stuffed olive that comes with it! We had opted for the 9 course dinner and every single dish along with the progression of the meal was perfection. One of the most memorable dishes for me of the night was the beet root dish topped with fried salsify. It was nice earthy tones with harmonious sweet and almost oceanic flavor. Not sure if it was seasoned with a particular type of salt or grown in a certain soil but the taste was absolutely extraordinary with the beets. March blew my mind away from the beginning all the way to the end where they served us desserts upon desserts and petit fours that were too beautiful to eat but alas il faut casser le noyau pour avoir l'amande. And when you're at March, let it all take you on a journey. Un bon repas adoucit l'esprit et régénèrer le corps. read more

I had high hopes for this place and it certainly does have potential. My party had the 6-course tasting and we all agreed that the taste and items offered were not worth the price. The sommelier also under poured our "half" glass wine pairings. We assumed that maybe he was splitting one glass amongst three of us. However, we were charged as if he received the correct amount of wine. It was upsetting and certainly not acceptable at a restaurant of this caliber. The service was attentive with thoughtful touches but guests may find that this attention along with the empty open space leads to a lack of intimacy for a dinner setting. I'm glad I experienced March to satiate my curiosity but would not return. read more

March - "Half" glass of wine - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Wonderful 6-course Mediterranean tasting menu in the heart of Houston. Such an elegant restaurant with excellent service. If Michelin inspectors were to come to Houston, March would definitely be at the top of their list. The tasting menu begins in the Lounge, where we were offered a summer cocktail and snacks as appetizers. We also got a French 75 as a refreshing start to our dinner. We opted for the premium wine pairing, which was just perfection. I will say that our menu had a lot of protein dishes on it - very delightfully delicious, but I was quite full by the end of my meal. I cannot imagine what I would have felt like with the 9-course tasting! When we visited, the menu was Greek-inspired, so the courses had Greek names to describe them. Our protein dishes were: Octopus, Lobster-stuffed branzino, lamb belly, and A5 wagyu. Don't get me wrong here - they were all SUPER delicious. My favorite was the lamb belly, but that A5 wagyu was SOOOO juicy, it's definitely a close second. I think it was a little overkill with both the lamb and wagyu, but hey, this was an excellent meal overall, and you definitely get your money's worth! The meal ended with 2 desserts: an olive oil cake with meringue and an assortment of chocolates/cookies. Very delicious. They also sent us home with a bag with goodies - chamomile tea, chocolates and baklava, and copies of the tasting menu and wine pairings we had. Our waiters and sommeliers were very knowledgeable about each dish. I sometimes felt a little rushed as they would bring one dish after the other, in quick succession, but they certainly had really good service! Lovely wine pairings for sure. I would recommend for a nice night out! read more

The service is beyond great. We had the 6 course tasting menu and it was more than enough. There are lots of little extras that make this place special. read more

This review is for their North African based menu they served before September. So far this is the best restaurant Ive had in Texas. I really hope Bon Appetit takes notice and appropriately awards or at nominates this place as best new restaurant of 2021. Right away I can tell they are going for michelin style presentation and service. The lounge area was quite nice, especially the free vermouth they provide you. The buzzing sensation in my seat feels nice from the lofi hip hop as I sipped on their delicious vermouth. The only disadvantage is the apparent power lines that you can see out the window. The amuse bouche were some eye opening creations that I havent seen elsewhere. Caviar on a algerian potato crisp, Hoja santa dolma with arabic raisin jam, Foie gras batan with dried smaltz, Lions mane mushroom with sturgeon leaf . All four were absolutely fantastic! The dolma with the raisin jam was the most surprising in how familiar those ingredients are, yet transported me to another dimension in the past of Tangier. The peas and fava beans with double smoked salmon roe, lamb pancetta, cream fraiche, and parmesan consommé were divine! Images of orange marmalade appear, but much more savory. I love the fractal nature of this dish. Big fava beans, down to smaller peas, leading to the specks from the fava bean leaves, all the way down to the liquid parmesan! Amber jack with apples and turnips dyed to colors of an important algerian architecture with Chermoulah condiment underneath. The apple and coriander come in strong and I love it! It complements the fish without stepping on it. Couscous with fennel chip, gulf blue crab, and micro green chamomile, with chamomile foam surrounding it Toro (tuna belly) with morrocan mayo, a migas style crumb, with dehydrated olives and pickled leaves. This was supposed to represent a street fish sandwich and they knocked it out of the park. The sabayon mayo was a nice, gentle touch to moisturize without getting heavy. Rabbit wrapped in chicory, topped with pistachios, and a side of orange marmalade. Chicory and orange are a buddy cop duo I didnt expect to be such a hit! So many earthy savory tones, with orange being a simple brushstrokes to counterbalance everything. The rabbit had a great taste, but the only complaint I can give is the texture of the rabbit and the dish as a whole made it hard to evenly cut a piece without it fracturing into uneven chunks. Fifth quarter tagine with Pig ears and lamb hearts in a bolognaise sauce with potato crisp on top with green leek garlic bread. This was probably the more familiar dish on the menu, until I think about how they serve the pigs ears as pasta! As a texan, this easily could translate into frito pie, if the potato crisp was replaced with fritos. The bread was actually underwhelming, but the coarse salt on top was great. The palate cleanser of grape juice wrapped in cocoa butter and safron cream on the bottom with a homemade raisin on top all on a spoon. A flash of genius and delight. It came and went like a missed connection with a possible lover. The short rib and beets were low tone goodies! The date and rose sauce made it go even deeper like Barry White's voice on the tone scale. If I could nitpick, I would have liked to have seen the short rib smoked, even if it was with some fruitwood like plum. I feel there was room to expand the dynamics for this dish. The goat cheese in a lavash shell with blackberry compote and sumac was ok, but it was quite underwhelming. No tang in the cheese left me desiring more. Beeswax ice cream with a lemon curd ring on top dusted with single origin tumeric. Holy crap this was unique and good! I felt like a berber stumbling upon a beehive nested in a lemon tree, while beestung, sun scorched, and hallucinogenic! The petit fours end of the meal was also fantastic way to end the meal. All I needed was a hot tea to compliment the goodies. read more

I have been eyeing March for a while and knew I wanted my anniversary dinner here. I made reservations two weeks in advanced and got an 8:00 pm slot on a Tuesday for the 6 course meal. I couldn't find the restaurant at first because it's tucked away in the back corner. Service is impeccable and the servers have great memories giving us detailed explanations of each dish! We checked in with the hostess and we were led to the lounge where we were served snacks and vermouth. We waited for about 30 minutes and then transferred to the dining room. The most memorable dishes for me is the truffle, crudo, and mandarin dessert. The other dishes were just ok, they had a lot of citrus. Overall, everything was very light flavors, creative dishes, beautiful presentation, but needed more umami. We were stuffed! I didn't need a Big Mac afterwards. We were gifted with two containers of loose leaf teas, chocolates, jelly candies, and the menus which said happy anniversary! read more

Gorgeous. Beautiful service and plating! Probably still a smidge short of Michelin starred restaurants, but all around a fantastic showing for Houston. The veggies were so beautiful in flavor and composition. The meats were a little wanting - the goat dumplings and the steak were quite gamey and underspiced. Meanwhile the beets and sauces that accompanied each were so delicious! Will Probably come back but perhaps Degust has a better showing for the price? read more

I set an alarm to get a reservation at March because I was going to try this place before we left. With two days left we made it and I do not regret it at all. Every single dish and drink was like a work of art and to top it off the food was phenomenally delicious. If you can spare the change, get you a reservation at this place and don't look back. I really can't review every single dish because they were all perfect. Seriously. We eat a lot around town at every price and every cuisine and this was impeccable from start to finish. read more

I've been meaning to try March for quite some time now and I have to say, it's the first restaurant in quite a long long time to actually blow me away. So much so that we went from a 6 course tasting to requesting the 9 course tasting after we got to the 2nd to last course cause everything was so delicious and I wanted to see what else they would bring out. March is located right above Rosie Canonball - it's a bit hard to find cause the door is on the side of the building and the sign is hardly noticeable. It's difficult to figure out how to get up there. I believe the valet is for both restaurants but it's not clearly marked. They first walk you into this lounge area for some lounge snacks. I didn't know what to expect and thought this might be our dinner setup for the night but the dining room is more spacious and very minimalistic. So much so that it made it feel really sophisticated. There's also a back/side room that looks a bit like coral. Service here is superb! You sit down and are given a drink menu along with a welcome drink. The lounge snacks of the night were: a bread with herb de province cheese, pastis oysters and a braised onion tart, a panisse and rhubarb and a sweet bread and spring pea. Loved each and every one of the lounge snacks, though they were super bite size. Oysters and tart stood out the most, 2nd by the sweet bread and spring pea. Enjoyed the creativeness of each flavor profile. We were taken to the back for the main course dinner. Sopa de pese was an interesting pea soup with smoked trout roe on top. It was alright, definitely not a favorite of the night though. The Couteau was very interesting as well but very tasty and flavorful. The Merluca/cod dish was superbly cooked as well. Went so well with the bearnaise. The duck with foie Gras was cooked so well it ended up being the game changer for me when I tasted it. This is where we decided to change courses for more! The Esparagol was the veggie dish of the night with porcini - I think this dish was a bit on the bitter side. The Clapassade was the lamb heart dish with black olives. Very interesting flavor profile and combination. We had a bread and cotton candy amuse bouche at this point with a liquid fruit explosion. What they did was put a fruit compote of some sort into a frozen ball that melted right when it hit the tongue. On top of that melted cotton candy. It was executed perfectly and the effects were fun, with a flavor explosion (literally). The next course was the Porc Provencale with black garlic and hazelnut vinaigrette. That pork skin was crispy and cooked so well. I don't know that I liked the black garlic to go with it though cause again it was on the bitter side, at least for my palate. The next few dishes were the dessert courses - the Tomata, raspberry, cherry tomato in some sort of cream. I don't know that I like tomatoes in a dessert course but it was definitely a first. The Chiboust was like a peach elderflower tart. Very delicate, petit and executed well. Next we had a selection of 3 sweet treats inspired by the region of Occitania: a raspberry macaron, a mini chocolate hazelnut tart, and a mini almond type pastry - I enjoyed all 3 very much. And lastly we had a cinnamon sugar palmier and some house made hard candy. Loved the classic palmier and the candy was a good touch to leave with. We even got a goody bag of some tea to digest at home and help with sleep. The details that went into each course, flavor profile and executed of each dish was top notch. If we had Michelin star restaurants in Houston, this would definitely be amongst those in that league. I was very happy with the whole experience, from food to service. Bravo! The good news is that March closes every season to prepare and introduce a new menu inspired by a different area in the Mediterranean. Looking forward to coming back for the next tasting menu! read more
