What People Are Saying About Landmarc Restaurant
The Editor

The Scene
It's both industrial and rough-hewn, with exposed brick, thick wood beams and an open brick oven. Tables are topped with craft paper over linen; likewise, suits are not uncommon, but neither are jeans. A smallish bar sits near the rear of the dining room, allowing for casual dining and wine sipping. Service is engaging and first-rate.
The Food
There's nothing daring about Chef Marc Murphy's modern American fare, but his cooking is so spot-on that even the most familiar dishes are remarkably satisfying. Start with warm profiteroles filled with melting goat cheese, a bowl of grassy spring asparagus soup or a large pot of steaming mussels in dijonnaise sauce with excellent fries for dipping. Entrees, from the incredibly tender braised lamb shank to the monkfish with olives, fennel and tomato, are excellent. Steaks, however, are overly fatty. For dessert, the affordable sampler is the way to go.

The atmosphere is great!! I wasn't too impressed by the food though. I ordered the salmon and asked for it cooked all the way through, which is definitely was not. The waitor noticed my disgust and offered to take it back to have it cooked more. When my food was brought back out - it still wasn't cooked. I ended just taking it to go and cooking it at home. My date ordered the steak - which he liked. Very cute spot - but be prepared to spend lots of $$$.

Even though I moved out of NYC over a year ago, I can't stop raving about this restaurant to all friends and family who visit the city...and I can't wait to go back to eat there again!!! If you are looking for a fantastic high-quality (not too expensive), non-touristy restaurant, then the TriBeCa location is your place! There is also a location in Columbus Circle at the Time Warner Center, but I hear it's not as good. First off, I'm a big fan of red wine, but hate the mark-up that you have to pay to drink at a restaurant. Fortunately, Landmarc is known for having an amazing wine selection...and the prices are just BARELY over retail (about 20% higher...versus over 100% in most restaurants)!!! You can only get a 1/2 bottle or full bottles. The calamari w/ spicy tomato sauce, grilled octopus salad in chorizo vinaigrette, hangar or skirt steak w/ chimichurri sauce, and the mussels & fries are to die for...and for dessert, you have to make sure to try the ice cream cone sampler! I'm getting hungry just thinking about this place!!!

Everyone always talks about this place like it is good, and unfortunately I get fooled into going back. The wait staff is always sub par, the food is never that great (especially given the price) and I always leave feeling like I was some how cheated. The sandwiches always seem greasy, the mussels are okay, and the desserts are pretty good. Fortunately, I will not be fooled into going back anytime soon.
