dmanburger "Landmarc"
Posted in Uncategorized with tags Landmarc on November 16, 2009 by dmanburger blog
Landmarc : situated in the city's swanky AOL building, this newly iconic upmarket shopping mall cafe gets my vote for one of the best burgers I've had in a loooooong time, with a homemade bun and hearty flavorful patty and ample herb seasoned French fries, this is one to remember !! Good job Landmarc !!

Brunch: Fortysomething tourists and locals alike, attractive Asian mommies and throngs of fairly well behaved kids. As long as i can get a booth, i'm cool with that.
But really, its the food and open lofty vibe i love about this place the most. Rebar and wood on the ceiling? Sure its a dated formula, but one i'll never (ever) outgrow. Despite being in the TWC (yuk), its not so much bland rich tourists or "do i impress you" vibe, but just laid back with a heartland comfort food menu.
Chickenburger? Oh yeah. Shoestring hash browns? you better believe. hangover? no better cure to cleanse the soul and clear the mind.
Pros -
1) You can make a reservation on Open Table
2) This place can accomodate a party of 8 plus comfortably
3) Very casual but good American food - for those days when you just want good food and none of the frou frou.
4) The food is very reasonably priced and the restaurant is in a nice location.
Cons -
1) Even though I had a reservation, they made our party wait almost 25 minutes. Plus, the hostess was very rude.
2) The waittress took my drink order and then forgot my drink order. By the time I remembered it, I had no more food left and didn't feel like a martini anymore.
Overall?
I probably wouldn't trek from Jersey to Landmarc just for a hamburger, although I hear they are delicious, but I would take friends from out of town if I was going to Columbus Circle or Central Park and I would definitely plan a birthday dinner here because they can accomodate it.
oh, and don't order the Oven Roasted Vegetables - (artichokes, tomatoes, radicchio & ricotta chickpea pancake) unless you really love Polenta. It was like 10 roasted veggies on top of a Polenta Tofu Square.
Meant two colleagues here for a fun lunch meeting on a Wednesday afternoon. As we had reservations, we were seated right away & ordered beverages - I enjoyed their iced tea, and my refills were plentiful as I was parched!
When all three of us were seated & watered, we perused the menu... I immediately noticed the smoked mozzarella + ricotta fritters, but needed to locate an entree. I landed on the pasta special of the day, the bucatini all'amatriciana - a long, thin tube pasta sauteed with spice marinara & panchetta. The appetizer came out in a timely manner & was the ideal portion for the three of us, probably four could have each had a nice bite. the fritters were light, fluffy & creamy, but with the perfect cripy coating - my mouth's watering just thinking of them!
Our entrees must have taken an additional twenty minutes to arrive & unfortunately, the pasta left a bit to be desired as it wasn't hot enough & the portion a bit petite. Although you couldn't beat the $14 price tag :-)
As the meal took a while to arrive, we were quick to pass on dessert, needing to get back to work. All together, with tip, lunch for three (no alcohol) was $95, so fairly reasonable, especially when considering the location, but Landmarc wouldn't be my first lunch choice on my next trip to NYC.
After a movie, met up with a big group for dinner. I was more excited about the breakfast and lunch menu but found something I could eat for dinner. We were seated very quickly on a Saturday night which was surprising.
I really enjoyed the decor and how relaxed the place felt.
Some weird selections to the music that I wouldn't expect. "Mamba No. 5" was the most glaring selection. Also the music at the start of each song would be loud and then quiet down. At times, the song would stop and another one would start immediately, again very loud then softer. Not sure who was running the music but it definitely wasn't fitting of the restaurant or anyone possibly trying to enjoy music.
Being a vegetarian I found some stuff here and decided on a salad with beets, veggies, tomatoes and balsamic dressing. I enjoyed it very much and the burgers at the table were a hit. Also the fries that came with a friends orders of mussels were perfect and the wasabi mustard had a good kick. Everyone seemed satisfied with their selections.
We saw some cotton candy going around the room and didn't see it on the dessert menu but decided to order it. It was such a great way to end a nice meal. Definitely will be back.
After walking around the mall, we developed an appetitie so we ventured to the 3rd floor of the Time Warner building for a pitstop. Service is great and the lunch menu was reasonable. I wouldn't say there are any stand outs that i would rave about but the American food was tasty and hit the spot.
This is one of my favorite restaurants for easy, consistently good, moderately priced, pleasant meals. Some of the food is outstanding: The filet, the burgers, the french fries. The rest of the food is very good. The prices are reasonable for the level of quality, and the staff is always excellent. I've been to this restaurant more than 20 times with a range of people, and every time everyone always enjoys their experience. The atmosphere is very comfortable with big spacious tables, an open airy modern design, and excellent views. The drinks are always generous, large groups are easily accommodated, and Time Warner center is a pleasure when the weather outside is not.
An affordable luxury dining. Also, a must visit for tourist to dine with a great central park view. Economical (hanger steak is meager $26 and rip eye is $38), romantic, and friendly staff. After dinner walk over to Magnolia bakery b/t Columbus ave and 69th.
Landmarc is the best choice for lunch/ dinner in the 59th street mall if your craving more then a shake at Jamba juice, or don't have $300 to drop for a Pri Fixe meal at Per Se.
My brother in law and I had the task of choosing an impressive place to bring his family from out of town for lunch. Landmarc turned out to be an excellent choice. Everyone was impressed with the modern décor and picturesque view of the park below.
After hearing the rave reviews around the table about the burgers and salads I'd say they are great choices. Landmarc loses a star though for not describing their sandwiches clearly on the menu. My grilled eggplant sandwich turned out to be open faced minus the other half of bread. Although it was absolutely amazing I'd appreciate knowing it was ummmm....low carb. Even worse was the fact that they don't list that the tomato mozzarella sandwich includes a walnut pesto! My brother in law is highly allergic to nuts, and obviously couldn't finish his dish.
Even though I truly enjoyed my meal here, it's not very ideal for intimate dining due to the abundance of booth seating. I would only venture here again if my party consisted of a group of 4+ .
Everything you love about low brow American cuisine is polished and proudly put on display at Landmarc. From their amazing burgers, to... wait for it... their COTTON CANDY for desert.
Yes, that's right. They bring you cotton candy for desert. And not just that regular miscellaneous pink stuff. This sugar-air combo was yellow colored and flavored with a hint of pineapple, and my coworkers regaled me of stories where it came green and pear-y, or maybe it was sour apple. Or maybe both.
I'm not a fan of the charging an extra dollar for cheese phenomenon that has been rapidly spreading, and Landmarc takes it to a new extreme with an extra two Washingtons. But whatever mumbling and grumbling I had after placing my order was silenced as I bit into a damn perfect burger.
They offer a desert sampler that is completely unnecessary after the giant burger, but who am I to say no if others want to order it. Creme brulle, a nutella pastry puff thing, some form of tiramisu, a pudding cup (low brow gone high brow - remember!) a lemon tart, and probably more. Oh, and the cotton candy. Lets not forget that.
Awesome food AND an incredible wine list for cheap in the time warner center. If you want to get drunk on great wine,tapas and cheese without breaking the bank this is the place. Also if you want ost midnight food that is not crap, you gotta go here.
Five stars because of well executed tapas and great, friendly bar service.
Love this place. It's funky, nice, good food and great view of the city. It's a central location so it's perfect for a first date or work meeting.
The reviews for this seem unfair. It should not be rated so low. It is one of the better places to eat in a neighborhood that really has relatively few options. Great steak and fantastic wine. Considering where you are it is not too bad price-wise.
Great ambiance and usually quick service.
My review is mainly for the bar and wine list, so not a fair judgment of the entire establishment as a whole.
The wine list is somewhat refreshing. Many choices from splits, half bottles to full bottles. Numerous varietals on the list intrigued me as I tend to look outside of the typical grape when I am going by the glass as compared to the bottle.
I had a nice standby of a Rioja to begin as my counterparts and I discussed business. For a second bottle, we selected one wine but were steered away from it but the very knowledgeable bartender. His descriptions of his recommendations helped us pick something within the same price range that we were equally happy with.
There must be something said for the wonderful atmosphere of the restaurant. The decor is very attractive and there is nothing like looking over Central Park from the 3rd floor!
Mid-priced and a great place for a sensible happy hour! Let the wine flow!
A great meal from start to finish....
Started out with the Goat Cheese Profiteroles which were phenomenal along with the the Risotto-Parmesan fritters which everyone (including my 16 mo nephew) enjoyed, and Salmon Tartar. The profiteroles are definitely a must!
For entrees we had a variety of food across the table and everything was tasty. I had the Lamb Chops (caught a glance at them when I was walking in the door and I was seduced). The chops were tender and flavorful and one of the unexpected winners at the table. The Filet and Burger also lived up to their reputation. The Herb-Crusted Branzino Filet was good too.
For desert, we had the sample platter after being informed at the normal deserts were "the size of a golf ball". Out came a tray of 6 desserts (which we though were pretty much full sized) for us to enjoy. None were standout, but all were tasty.
Over, a meal enjoyed by everyone (die-hard new yorkers, my parents from upstate, the foodie, and the lil' one).
And a final note on "Kid-Friendly" Dining. This is finally a restaurant with a urban/modern atmosphere, great food AND is kid-friendly. Its hard to find and hard to get right. And for that, its gets the 4th star.
Consistently good. Love the half bottles of wine. Every time I'm in NY - I go and order the mussels in white wine with shallots, french fries and mayo. Dunk a fry in mayo then the juice from the mussles - heaven! Last time I was there sat in a cool round booth surrounded by walls - solid place.
I used to go to this place a lot. Indeed, it's near my apt and it used to be one of my favorite places for lunch on the weekend. The view is good and I used to take people visiting NYC for the first time here.
The last time I went I was taking my mother out to lunch. We went to the maitre d, Bianca, and asked for a table. Bianca told us a table will be opening soon and made us wait. While we were waiting, another group of two approached and were seated without wait before us.
We were the only two people waiting and in Bianca's line of sight the whole time, so I don't know how this happened by inadvertence. When I questioned her, she said she was waiting for a "nicer table" to open up but could "seat us now at another open table if we didn't want to wait any longer."
I've never felt insulted by the staff here or at any restaurant, but why Bianca refused to seat my mother and I is beyond belief. And no, it's not because we are shabby or look unfit to eat at Landmarc. To the contrary, after Landmarc's insulting and inexcusably poor service, I and my mother fortunately were able to find room at Jean Georges across the street, and we had an entirely enjoyable lunch without being snubbed or so negligently treated by the maitre d. And of course, if we were respectable enough to eat in Jean Georges, I have no clue why Landmarc found us unworthy to be treated fairly.
Loved it.
Although, I must say that I'm a sucker for clean, minimalist/industrial-esque decor. The food was 3 1/2 star status. My family and I started with the fried calamari (crunchy with just the right amount of saltiness and were perfectly porportioned bite sized pieces). The rest of the meal went a bit downhill -- the spaghetti carbonara was overloaded with parmesan and romano to the point where it was too difficult to eat. The sandwiches were decent, but who can really go wrong with one of those? To make up for the sub par food, we filled the time by commenting on how great the view of Central Park was from our sleek leather booth.
I'd go again, but only for appetizers and drinks.
A friend and I had brunch after our morning jog on Saturday and I have to give it up to the nice folks @ Landmarc for NOT passing judgment over our sweaty running attire. Jesus, I looked like dog food.. probably didn't smell very pleasant, either. Regardless, props for seating us in a booth at the window.
So, the food. I had the eggs en meurette as recommended by my companion, which was pretty good but a bit salty. It's a poached egg on top of a baguette slice in an onion, bacon & mushroom red wine sauce. Pretty classy deal for $14 if you ask me. Friend had poached eggs, toast & hash browns with a side of bacon. I like the bacon here.. it's not your typical skinny pieces of FATTY bacon, fried to a crisp. They're HUNKS of meat. Yea, that's right, meat! Not FAT!
Good for brunch but be prepared to pay $12 for an omlette
Absolu-mon! I love this place and I've eaten here twice in two days. How do I love it? Let me count the ways:
1. Serves delicious upper-class food until 2am!
2. The muscles with shallots and white wine sauce are soft and delish! Not chewy ever!
3. Their fries and mustard aoili is TO DIE FOR!
4. Their half bottles of wine are a perfect size for two or even three!
5. Their french country bread is a MUST to dip in any sauce on your table.
6. Their cheeseburgers will make your mouth cry a little because of its flavor and juiciness. Ohhh yeahhhhhhhhhhh. Worth every penny of $15!
Considering this area can be quite touristy this place is such a sight for sore eyes and sour tummies. Get in there!
Came here on the later end of the evening on St. Patrick's Day.
My friend was basically obliterated drunk and we were there to get some food in him after having cocktails at Jean Georges. We sat at the bar, let the bartender know what was up and he was sympathetic to the situation lol. He not only put a rush on the food but my friends plate looked like nothing else could possibly fit on there. Mission accomplished. He said his burger was tasty and he started speaking in words I could understand and no longer the language of the drunk :)
My other two friends and I had calamari, which was yum. Mussels in wine, which were super flavorful, had a great texture, and were very fresh and clean tasting.
I look forward to trying this place out for an actual dinner one day. The service was awesome, the place was attractive and the food was yummy!
One of the only pluses about the current recession is that if you want to go to a nice restaurant at the last minute without a reservation, you can go right ahead. Like Landmarc - I went last Friday for lunch and sat down right away.
We started off with the endive salad. I found it a little bitter, but then again, endives are bitter, so what was I expecting? The cheese and nuts were a nice compliment to the endives. I found myself hunting for the bits of cheese and nuts while trying to avoid the leaves. Whoops! That's probably not the point of salad.
Asha had mussels - you can get them prepared a variety of ways, and she chose chorizo and onion (because it seemed different - you can get shallots, white wine and parsley anywhere). They were very good - lots of flavor from the chorizo and yummy broth leftover to dip bread in and eat. I was a big fan.
I got the roasted marrow bones. That's right, bone marrow. I love bone marrow. A lot. I will order it almost any time I see it on a menu. It is so delicious and creamy and decadent without being fancy or pretentious. You make a huge mess eating it - meat juices run down your face and grease gets everywhere. I feel super alive when I'm eating this - it takes all my concentration to dig out the marrow and then spread it with onion confit and sea salt. I pick and poke at every little bit and I'm not focused on anything else - just splitting apart bones and eating them. YUM!
So, I'd go back to Landmarc is what I'm saying, I think. I mean, they have bone marrow. And mussels. And some pasta specials that looked good as well. You should check it out.
Landmarc is simple, and it's good. The combination is enough for me to be sure I'll be there again sometime soon.
My friend and I went in without reservations on a Sunday night, and got a table right next to the glass - great view! The place was big, dimly lit, bustling with upbeat activity. The menu was simple - nothing over the top. We had a leek and shrimp risotto, mussels and fries. Both were within expectations, although nothing spectacular. It's definitely the atmosphere here that tops off my 4-star rating.
IMHO, the immediate area surrounding Time Warner Center is something of a dead zone for relatively hip, friendly and MODERATELY-PRICED hangouts where you can casually meet friends & enjoy a $10 cocktail or glass of wine, or a basic bistro meal.
Shocked & pleased, then, when my buddy ushered skeptical me into Landmarc's expansive 3rd floor resto-bar in the Time Warner Center last Friday.
Atmosphere: This is a great place for professional, laid-back over 30 people to hang out. GREAT corner views facing north and west onto 60th Street and right into lower Central Park. There's an interesting, laissez-faire vibe at Landmarc that allowed a few 30- & 40-something Moms and Dads to even have their little ones along with them. That was cool: Mom & Dad & baby all had their "bottles" and the kiddies didn't seem in danger of permanent psychological damage from this. And the child-free patrons surrounding them seemed either to not notice the munchkins dotting the dining room, or not care...or as in my case, actually found it oddly charming.
Food & drink notes: Love the (I think, uniformly-priced) $18 half-bottles of well-selected wines, and the big juicy $15 bar burger with lotsa fries and salad. I karate-whacked that beefy baby straight down the center before I took Bite One, and had the server wrap my next evening's dinner : ))
Service: We were a party of three women and we received the perfect blend of "pro-chick" (yes...always on my soapbox about how women can be stereotypically discriminated against in restaurants) service -- unobtrusive but attentive -- from a dynamic blond female server, who knew her wines. My one constructive criticism is that for white wine / rose drinkers like me, especially those favoring our wine crispy cold, there should be a wine cooler offered to preserve just the right chilly tingle on one's bottle.
Next time, I'll try other menu items and report back.
Keep coming back to this place for delish salads (a bit on expensive side but big portions!), good service and cool ambiance. Ask to be seated next to a window in a booth - comfy and get to see central park
Four stars for their frisee au lardon salad!!!
I came here for brunch on a Sunday, around 12pm. The space was huge and quite empty and my party of 2 was seated immediately. By the time we left around 1.30pm, the place was packed.
This is definitely a kid-friendly place judging by the number of strollers parked outside and some that were inside the restaurant as well.
Service was pleasant when available.
I ordered the frisee au lardon salad and added extra sauteed shrimp (+$5). You can opt to have an appetizer or entree-sized portion. I went for the entree size. The salad was huge and delicious. The croutons that it came with were seemed to be rubbed with some blue cheese and were very tasty. The salad came with 2 poached eggs and plenty of fatty, salty lardons. The shrimp went really well with the salad as well. I had a very satisfying meal just based on this dish. YUM!!!
The omelette my friend ordered didn't look too exciting but they do give you a lot of choices (shrimp / chorizo / spinach / various cheeses etc) in what goes in the omelette.
I'd definitely come back again.
The burger is delicious, and worthy of comment.
This place would have been four stars for the first visit, where I dined in.
But the delivery experience later in the week was terrible.
They forgot to deliver the burger, just the salad and fries. We called them and told them, and they returned 20 or so minutes later with the original burger, now cold and dry. It must have been sitting in the delivery guy's car or something.
So, we had flaccid salad, soggy fries, and a very lumpen burger. It was disgusting and I had to force myself to eat every bite of mine and then half of my wife's. It was only the sense-memory of my first burger that allowed me to remember how it should have tasted.
The guy was apologetic, but it was too late to rescind part of the tip or check. Seriously, they should have just sent out an all new fresh order. Mayor Bloomberg is going to be so pissed.
I came here with my friend for Sunday brunch. They don't accept reservations and there were a million strollers parked outside the restaurant, however we were able to be seated in less than 10 minutes! Amazing.
Once we were seated, our waiter was super friendly and seemed to know every dish on the menu well. Everything we ordered was delicious. I had the most amazing french toast; they gave me a rather large steak knife to assist me in cutting my decadent dish. That's how tall and large the french toast was! And the bacon... let me tell you I haven't had bacon this good in years. The center cut strips were thick and flavorful, tasting more like fried chicken than bacon. Yum! Their coffee was delicious as well and was a perfect way to end a most scrumptious meal.
This place is perfect for a long, lazy brunch on the weekends with lots of girl talk and the prices aren't too bad. Also don't be put off by the crowds. It's not as bad as it looks.
Came here on a Saturday afternoon after a lovely hour spent at Cole Haan. This place has great brunch/salads/soups/sandwiches. The French Onion soup is fantastic! The best I've ever had in fact, so hearty and homey, and well seasoned. I also had the chopped salad with celery, cucumber, hearts of palm and beets which was also great, although I felt it lacked something so asked our server for walnuts which gave it that extra crunch. My sister got the blueberry pancakes, which were probably the best pancakes I've ever had, pretty good for a restaurant to serve 2 "best ofs". They tasted more like soft cake that had been baked then the typical IHOP stack. For 4 people are bill came out to $100 including tip. Not bad, but pricey for a lunch.
People who say there is better nearby must be going to Rosa Mexicano, because I can't think of many places that beat it near Columbus Circle. There are great views if you get a table. Sitting at the bar, I had some of the best service I can remember. Friendly suggestions and free appetizers.
How often does that happen? Maybe the beautiful Yelp girls here are spoiled, but us guys aren't used to such attention. Add that to a great view and the best turkey burger I've ever tasted, and I can't help but recommend Landmarc.
I went here with my sister on my most recent NYC trip, for a couple glasses of wine and a snack. I love that they have half bottles of wine, plus they have a great selection of moderately-priced wines.
For our snack, we had the ricotta fritters/fried zucchini. I always love hot cheese, and this didn't disappoint - but the star of the plate was definitely the spicy tomato sauce. We were dipping our bread in it, and if we'd run out of bread we probably would have started dipping our hands in it. It actually inspired me to make an arrabbiata sauce for my baked ziti that night.
Super friendly bartender, too, and delicious bread and butter.
Sorry Landmarc, I'm gonna have to light a fire under your ass. This is probably my third or fourth time coming here despite working right next door. None of my plates have been very memorable.
With my family visiting I decided to take them somewhere nice for lunch so Landmarc it is. Before ordering the waitress tells us that their special of the day contains pesto which is made with walnuts. I am allergic to all nuts. I ask her before hand about my decision and she explains that its prosciutto and mozzarella on a pressed panini.
After eating half of my plate, I feel my throat swell up. I ask her one more time on whats in my plate and THIS TIME she explains that there is pesto on it.
Lady does absolutely nothing to help, doesnt do anything to the bill and could have potentially have had me sent to the hospital. Thanks alot.
Quality, quantity, cool decor, great service. If you want a relatively inexpensive meal compared to all the eateries in the Time Warner building not named Whole Foods go here. Plus they serve food until 1 in the morning. I'll definately go back there when I have 3 hours to spare and am not inebriated.
The Risotto saved the day and so did our super sweet waiter. Had the skirt steak, wish I would have just ordered the burger with grier. Yummy brussel sprouts with bacon, good chopped salad.
Date Rating: 7
Pick up Scale: 6 (friendly bar area to eat at if you're alone)
Strong Suggestion: If you're up late and don't know where to go in this part of town they serve till 2 am keep that in mind.
Just because it is in time Warner Center doesn't mean that it's perfect... (Teetering between 3 & 4… Read more »
Came here for dinner in January...thought it was a good experience.
First, this place is huge, and upon arrival you will be greeted by three hostess. The entrance is actually right next to the bathroom...weird eh?
We were seated with a view looking towards Central Park, very romantic.
So we ordered our food, I got the stuffed quail and my friend got the pork chop. The food was presented nicely and it was delicious. I had a bite of my friend's pork chop, I highly recommend this.
I thought the portion of the food was fair as well.
Liked the restaurant, would definitely take someone there for a romantic dinner or with friends with money.
A perfect, casual bar in the glass and steel Time Warner Center. The staff could not be friendlier and their pour is generous. We didn't eat this time, but we'll definitely be back.
I just love the bar area here. I came about 20 minutes early just to enjoy the bar, a glass (erm, or half-bottle, since they don't serve wine by the glass) of wine, and a few pages of my book. The bartender was very attentive, and asked if I needed a food menu after quickly serving me some lovely Oregon pinot noir.
No, not yet, as I was meeting my boyfriend and his family here for dinner. There were six of us dining in total, and I must add to my review that as much as I love Landmarc for burgers, it is also good for larger groups and ribeye steak. The decor is just lovely and it's not over-the-top expensive. I mean, I'm very certain that our meal for six did not come out recession-friendly, but the wines are very reasonable and the portions are large. My complaints about the long wait last time did not recur as we had a reservation.
yum yum yum.
The boy and I came on a Tuesday evening, it was relatively crowded. We wanted to sit at a booth by… Read more »
Delicious italian food. The service was a little shoddy, although I can't blame them because we went in around 4 pm when they were beginning to set up for the dinner rush. I got the pasta of the day (It was saturday, i believe) -- a deliciously cheesy pasta that had pulled beef in it. it was well portioned, and was an excellent leftover lunch for the next day (or maybe it was a late night snack...i can't remember). My dinner-mate got a chicken burger. Not the dry chicken breast patty that plagues most "chicken burger" -- this was moist and delicious. The burger was well priced (17$), and the pasta was a little expensive for my taste (22$) -- but it was a great experience nonetheless.
My co-workers and friends rave about this place so I had a free Friday and decided to check this place out with a friend.
Although the location was sweet and the restaurant beautiful, I'm sad to report that I found this place, well, average. It would have gotten 2.5 but we can't give half stars.
Sometimes I wonder if average is worse than being called bad or good. It's almost as if it's not worthy of either. If something is horrible, it's talked about and if something is great it's raved about...but if it's average...well, I'm bored already.
We decided to be adventurous and try the Roasted Marrow Bone. I know it sounds weird and it was only because my friend suggested it and the waitress backed him up, I agreed. The presentation was impressive with three massive bones served up with toasted French bread and caramelized onions. As expected it was very little bone marrow and the texture although slightly gelatin-like was flavorful and well, for lack of better wording, very well roasted.
I felt very rushed during the appetizer course because our plates were cleared when I had only tried a few bites of the appetizer. More than half of it was on the plate still when our servers came and whisked it away to make room for the entree.
I wouldn't have minded but they didn't even bother to ask us if we were finished.
I opted for a marinated portobello mushroom in lieu of a steak or anything else and when recounting my dinner earlier this week to a co-worker I was ashamed to say I could not remember what I had!
Her response was, "there's not that much on the menu."
Shit.
All I know is I learned what a chimichurri sauce was and that, along with the french fries I never try to let myself eat, were the highlight of my meal.
My friend got the steak tartare with toasted French bread and it was a little disappointing. Although good, it lacked flavors or anything interesting and since it was listed as one of Landmarc's "specialties", it makes me lose interest completely in any other dishes that they have on their menu.
My conclusions is maybe if they spelled "marc" with a "k", it would have left more of a mark on my memory.
