Mediterranean tasting menus, cocktails & wines in a sophisticated setting
"The beverage leader advocates separating awards by spirits, nonalcoholic, beer, and wine categories to better represent the diversity of drink programs and give beverages the same granular recognition chefs receive." - Sam Nelson
"Nominated for Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages Program at the 2025 James Beard Awards." - Courtney E. Smith
"Transport yourself to the Mediterranean at this Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant under the expert guidance of Chef Felipe Riccio and Master Sommelier June Rodil. Every season, the restaurant reinvents itself as it answers the question “What does the Mediterranean mean?” with a six- or nine-course progression that explores a single region’s history, ingredients, and traditions. Each meal begins with snacks and sips in the lounge, an intimate space that fuses sophistication and comfort. The diners then proceed to the dining room, where a wall-mounted, landscape-like wool tapestry serves as a focal point. A 2025 James Beard Awards semi-finalist for the Outstanding Beverage Program category, March elevates its experience with a thoughtfully curated wine list." - Brianna Griff
"This Mediterranean tasting menu restaurant has a beguiling yet simplistic elegance. A tapestry covering almost the entire back wall is one of the restaurant’s main focal points. Dishes arrive on tiled plates with patterns that alternate for each course, while drinks are served in vintage glassware. The private dining area boasts a lush ceiling installation, which depicts a dense, green landscape that alludes to March’s backstory as an area of land on the border between two territories, a frontier between realms, and a connection between the earth and food." - Marcy de Luna
"Chef Felipe Riccio’s Michelin-starred, reservation-only tasting menu restaurant 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 regroup and relaunch with a new focus after a brief hiatus. Most recently, March is captivating diners with the flavors of the Italian region of Venice. In six- and nine-course tastings, the restaurant pays homage to the Italian city’s maritime heritage with dishes like its cicoria con salsa with chicory greens, anchovy butter, and a citrus vinaigrette; and a spectacular Lesso e pearà, featuring A5 wagyu and an onion packed with a rich reduction of boiled beef and marrow. The cocktails and optional wine pairings, also tailored to the region, are almost requisite. The James Beard Foundation named March a 2025 finalist in its Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages category. Know before you go: March provides an incredibly seamless experience, requiring pre-paid reservations. Dinner begins with drinks and fancy bar snacks in its cocktail lounge, where diners decompress before entering a muted, orange-hued room. Best for: Date night and celebrations." - Brittany Britto Garley
