We did the tasting menu for our anniversary. We specified that we were non-drinkers and they greeted us with non alcoholic spritzer, which was an excellent touch. Every course was excellent. I would only note that it was salt heavy, but many of the salty tasting items wouldn't be salty just from table salt, if you have medical concerns. We received a surprise pre-dessert, a smoky flan. I don't love smoke+dairy, but the technique on the dessert was excellent, regardless of my personal preferences. They control service and you should let them, they know what they're doing. If there is anything they should know, put it on your reservation. Great experience, will definitely be visiting again and was absolutely worth every penny.

Recognized by the James Beard Foundation, Michelin Guide and named one of the best restaurants in the U.S. by Food & Wine, Bon Appétit, GQ and more! Japanese izakaya and Texas barbecue are arguably the two best cuisines to enjoy while imbibing. Kemuri Tatsu-ya offers a mash-up of the two, plus an excellent selection of booze—including a ‘whisky bible.’ Guests are welcomed into the space with an enthusiastic “irasshaimase!” from the staff. The experience only gets better from there with creative dishes like Taiyaki Cornbread, Brisket Tsukemen and Guaca-Poke. Bright, innovative cocktails, including super-chilled Toki highballs cranked out from a machine, are
an essential part of the experience. Reserve a table today to get a taste of this iconic Austin
restaurant, brought to you by Tatsu Aikawa and the team behind Ramen Tatsu-Ya.

In the heart of Houston’s Montrose neighborhood, MARCH Restaurant is an intimate Mediterranean restaurant from Chef Felipe Riccio. Serving both 6 and 9 course tasting menus, we study the gastronomy, history, and cultures of the region to answer the question:

“What is Mediterranean cuisine?”

After many years of personal and professional exploration of the Mediterranean – including extended stints at three-Michelin-starred Osteria Francescana and Azurmendi –Felipe has brought this spirit of exploration back to his home in Houston.

The word ‘MARCH’ signifies an area of land on the border between two territories; a frontier between realms. The menu is the team’s love letter to the Mediterranean where we will explore the unique, layered evolution of its many connected cuisines, with beverage pairings/selections artfully curated by partner and Master Sommelier, June Rodil, and the acclaimed beverage team.

A wonderful experience with the best, most creative Indian cuisine I’ve ever had, infused with local elements that made each dish a journey worth savoring. Our favorites were the 72-hour Dal, the butter chicken experience (like you know it but with a twist!), the chipotle chicken appetizer, and the artistic and tasty lychee ceviche to start. Highly recommend everyone who enjoys Indian and related cuisine check it out.
