This restaurant is located within the Melrose Arch hotel, in an area popular for great restaurants of all cuisines. I visited on a Friday night there was only one other couple dining there. The internal decor was superb and really smart. The table was large and laid well with everything spotlessly clean. I was initially left a little disappointed by the menu since it wasn’t the most varied and I wasn’t left spoilt for choice. However, there’s a good number of wines available for reasonable prices and this was served quickly and professionally at the start of the meal. The chicken soup starter was incredible! The perfect amount of spice gave it a good kick, nice pieces of meat and a delicious small slice of toast topped with cheese and herbs. The portion size was also good and is one of the best starters I’ve had in recent years! Some small bread rolls were also served with a couple of dips which were really tasty.For the main dish I opted for the lamb shank. Again this was a sizeable portion and the meat fell off the bone beautifully. The sauce was probably a little overpowering but the vegetables were tasty and the dish was presented well. The panna cotta desert was fine although I don’t recall seeing any desert wines on the menu which would have rounded things off nicely. For the price it was a really good meal and a well executed experience by the staff. It was lovely to have the chef come out at the end of the meal to check how things had been and he seemed genuinely receptive to feedback. I would have no hesitations about returning here but a bit more variety would encourage me sooner.

Situated within the African Pride Melrose Arch Hotel, is the signature March restaurant, home to the finest quality dining and decor.Its an absolute must to dine there as it hails from the amazing artistic vision of the hotel and the menu holds promise to delicious food and fine dining.

I visited March Restaurant for Valentines Day, I was greeted by the sound of an amateur saxophonist, it didnt really create a great atmosphere as it sounded like he was practising rather than performing. We opted for the 7 course set menu, the amuse was decent but the meal took a nose dive at the starter when I was served an overcooked under seasoned piece of kingclip, the flavours of the dish were unbalanced and left me feeling a bit nauseous, I can only describe this as an insult to my palate. The mushroom soup arrived, only for me to find out that it was so heavily salted that I almost thought it was a bowl of sea water, once again the flavours just missed the target. The main course was duck that was again overly seasoned, much too salty and a bit dry, the entire dish lacked balance. A champagne & berry sorbet was then served, now my biggest concern with this sorbet was that it was dairy based and it was basically a cold running liquid, completely missed the mark on that one! It was also over sweetened. During the meal we ordered 2 Tom Collins cocktails, when it arrived at the table, both looked different in color, I had to send it back twice. I had hope that dessert would save the day but that too contained melted ice cream and sorbet, it just completely failed. The table clothes were frayed, which kinda looked like something youd find in Fordsburg. The best thing about the meal was the glass of champagne served at the beginning. The manager didnt even know how to handle the complaints and just ended up doing nothing so he tried to avoid eye contact. Overall this was a serevely underwhelming experience, at the price point that they have set themselves, they just cant keep up. The flavors of the food and cocktails are terribly unbalanced and I can only assume that the chef is either very inexperienced or just doesnt know what hes doing. The look of the restaurant is really beautiful but everything else fails to keep up, the devil is in the detail and theyve completely missed that mark. I really hope you guys can get it together but Im not going to willing return to this restaurant in a hurry. Being set in a 5 star hotel really begs the question of appearance vs reality and those two are worlds apart in this case. The cherry on top was when the manager told me that my palate is much too sensitive and hes not sure how to help me, perhaps that was his excuse for doing nothing?
