    We enjoyed a special Christmas Eve dinner here as a family. We enjoyed the cheese flight & the prosciutto flight for apps. Collectively, our meals included lobster, the pork chop entree, the sea bass entree, and the scallop entree. We shared the brussels and the crab mac & cheese. This was the most expensive meal we've ever eaten or as a family and it was worth every penny. We were too full for dessert, but the options all sounded incredible. To our surprise, the most delicious warm cookies were brought to our table right before our check. Best cookies ever! Highly recommend!

    Had a wonderful Saturday Night meal. This place has very well priced cocktails and wine across the menu accompanied with amazing food. Bill is also less than expected here which is a huge plus. If you want a great meal and cheap priced high quality drinks this is the spot!

    Dining at March is an unforgettable journey through the art of gastronomy. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a refined ambiance that balances elegance with warmth, setting the tone for the evening. The service is impeccable—attentive without being overbearing, and the staff’s deep knowledge of the tasting menu is evident. The tasting menu is a revelation, each dish a meticulously crafted masterpiece. The flavors are bold yet harmonious, showcasing both technique and creativity. The genius lies in how the story unfolds, starting with a specific region and its historical cuisine, then elevating those ingredients to new heights. Each course arrives like a work of art, beautifully plated and bursting with intricate flavors that evolve with every bite. The wine pairing is just as carefully curated, with each selection enhancing the dishes in a way that elevates the entire experience. Every detail, from the presentation to the final note of dessert, is handled with precision and care. I love this place and look forward to coming back next season.
