"Few signs will appreciate the attention to detail like a Virgo who notices everything. The perfect meal for the zodiac’s resident perfectionist should be something where every minute feels intentional. Enter March: a Montrose tasting menu that serves as a dissertation on the Mediterranean region in season. Even a picky Virgo will have enough newfound knowledge to take back to their trivia group. And when the world gets too chaotic, they can always swing back to March’s bar to be around folks who appreciate order. How to get in: Reservations at March open 60 days in advance. Slots in the middle part of the evening get snatched up quickly, especially within the first couple of weeks. If you want to go a.s.a.p., plan to start dinner around 9pm and be there well into the night." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"This Montrose restaurant creates a romantic experience with a rotating tasting menu that serves as a dissertation on the Mediterranean region in season. After you enter March’s lobby, a host with the demeanor of a friendly librarian guides you up an elevator to a lounge crystallized with sunshine. This is a resting ground for staff members in $1,000 suits to present lounge snacks as love letters to uni tomaquets. Detailed abstracts in the main dining room continue with each dish of your $185 six-course or $250 nine-course tasting menu—like the escalivada with arctic char or paella with lamb chorizo. The staff keeps your courses running smoothly without smothering you with service—letting people enjoy their intimate evening. How to get in: Reservations at March open 60 days in advance.

"Really wow a date with a night at chef Felipe Riccio’s Michelin-starred, reservation-only tasting menu restaurant. The staff is set on providing an experience that transports diners to different regions of the Mediterranean: A specific locale is spotlighted for a few months; then the restaurant closes to research a new region and relaunch after a brief hiatus. Most recently, March is captivating diners with the flavors of the Italian region of Genova, in six- and nine-course tastings, which feature chilled capponada made up of preserved fish with olives, capers, and sailor’s cracker, and a cabbage-topped Ligurian sausage loaded with salami and served atop spiced blackcurrant pork jus." - Brittany Britto Garley, Nadia Gire
"A restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star by the Michelin Guide." - Courtney E. Smith
