About March
There are twenty-eight seats at March. That is the number Chef Felipe Riccio and his team decided was enough — enough to execute the vision, enough to control every variable, enough to make each guest feel that the entire kitchen exists for them tonight. In a city of 2.3 million people and thousands of restaurants, the scarcity is intentional. So is everything else.
March opened in 2021 on Westheimer Road in Montrose, Houston's most intellectually restless neighborhood, and within two years it had collected a Michelin star, a spot on Food & Wine's list of America's twenty best restaurants, and the reputation that comes with both. Riccio's concept is geographical and temporal simultaneously: each tasting menu charts a different region of the Mediterranean — a single coastline, a single cultural moment, a single season's harvest — through six or nine courses of extraordinary precision.
The room is dark and intimate, warm without being sentimental. White oak, soft lighting, a wine program that leans hard into natural and biodynamic producers from the same Mediterranean shores the kitchen is exploring. The service is knowledgeable without being performative — they can explain every dish in depth but they don't make you ask.
The six-course menu is $145; nine courses runs $195. Wine pairing is available and strongly recommended. March does not take walk-ins. Reservations open four weeks out and fill immediately. This is the most serious restaurant in Texas, and the price reflects it.
Why Impress Clients
Bringing someone to March sends an unmistakable signal: you know what you're doing. It says you booked ahead, you understand what a tasting menu means, and you move in circles where this kind of dinner happens. The 28-seat room means your conversation is never lost in ambient noise. The Mediterranean journey concept gives you something to discuss beyond just the meal — culture, history, geography, wine regions. March turns dinner into a shared intellectual experience, and that shared experience becomes the foundation of a business relationship worth having.
Why Proposal
The intimacy of March — the low tables, the candlelight, the sense of a room that contains only you and the few other people who were lucky enough to book — creates exactly the atmosphere a proposal deserves. The meal unfolds over two to three hours, giving you time to build the moment. Choose the nine-course menu, add the wine pairing, and let Riccio's kitchen set the stage. The service team is experienced enough to help if you want them to — a word before service begins is all it takes.
