Disappointing gnocchi. The special tonight was gnocchi. Well, I have eaten my gnocchi my whole life made by my nanny who comes from Naples, Italy. So, I know how gnocchi should taste. The gnocchi at Landmarc were undercooked. When I asked the waiter to have it more cooked, the cook refused saying that this is the way he cooks them. Well, personally, I don't care how the cook likes it. It was undercooked. Period. At the end, they did not charge us for the gnocchi. Thanks for the gesture but I was still hungry. My recommendation don't order gnocchi at landmarc.

Ehhh. 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 $$$.

Never that good..... 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.

Nice place. Four of us went there on a Friday night.. We arrived around 9pm and were told there would be a 45 minute wait (they don't take reservations). We sat at the little bar at the back and got a great glass on Sauvignon Blanc. The manager came over to chat to us and gave us menus while we waited. The table was ready about 45 minutes later. We were seated upstairs just one table back from the window. It was REALLY cold. Two of us put our jackets on and the guys put their scarves on. We were told the heating was on full.... In any event, the food was great and the waitress gave good suggestions for wine. Goatcheese profiteroles and calamari were really good. The grilled tuna was delicious though a little overcooked for me. The chickpea stew it's served with was great. The steak and pasta special were pretty good too from the looks of things! I gave Landmarc just 3 stars out of a possible 5 because it really was so cold that it affected the whole experience.

Landmarc has jumped the shark. No heat or very little and it was 42 degrees outside. Windows were filthy upstairs, hope kitchen was cleaner. Asked not to have french fries told no subsitutions, not even some additional salad that you buy in enormous bags premixed? Food is very salty, why is that, is the meat now a bad cut? Very noisy and of course lots of screaming children. Was forced to wait for my coat in a drafty doorway because I had dared to check it. When I complained I was scowled at. Not worth the wait or the money.

fantastic food and wines for unreal prices. One of my favorite places in the City. The steaks are always great, grilled on an open flame and with a few tasty sauces to choose from. For vegetarians there is the portabella mushroom steak as well. Wine prices are unreal. Not marked up and some of the higher end ones are actually less $$ than in the wine shop!!!! We usually have a half bottle of champagne to start, there are quite a few to choose from, I believe the Bollinger, my favorite is $24.00 or something like that. It gets very crowded and they do not take reservations forsmall groups but it is always well worth the wait. Highly recommend the dessert sampler.

nutella + vortex mural = bloooow cones. i googled "late night dessert" and Landmarc was the closest spot so...i locked my kids in the bathroom and took off in search of something to cure my craving. what i found was a really lovely couple involved in a booze fueled domestic dispute on the patio...we enter, then ordered some ice cream cones...the service was good...ice cream - blah, cones - blah, nutella eclair - blah!!! wouldn't go back. it would have been soooooo worth the walk to the all night creperie in the LES bitchezzzz.

Chic atmosphere, affordable wine, lovely service. My friend and I pulled this restaurant out of a NY Times review of places for late-night food - we arrived for dinner at 1 a.m. There were only a couple of other tables full at that hour, but the steaks were tasty, the waitress attentive and friendly, and the mini desserts inexpensive and delicious. A great find, I'll definitely be back there in the wee hours.

BEST WINE LIST IN THE CITY!. Landmarc is one of our favorite restaurants in the city. The service is always friendly, the space is inviting and the food is delicious. But the highlight if this joint is the wine list. This is without a doubt the BEST and LOWEST markup wine list in the city. On average we pay about half of what we'll pay anywhere else or the same bottle of wine and their half bottle selection is wonderful. The desserts are simple but for $15 you can get ALL of them and they offer ice-cream in cones and sweet cotton for the kids. It is a true neighborhood place that is worth traveling for.

This is one of my favorite places in the neighborhood.. My boyfriend and I go here for special occasion dinners, but also just for weekend brunch. It's kind of a hidden gem, so I really shouldn't be talking about how great it is, but it really does deserve amazing reviews. The food is terrific. I've never had anything remotely bad, nor have any of my dining companions. The best things about it though are the wine list, which is extensive and super reasonably priced, and the dessert list, which is a bunch of inexpensive, small, delicious desserts so you can order a bunch of them and share. The ice cream is the best of them, and trust me, I've tried them all!
