The Landing Restaurant

If you're looking for a seaside experience with a nice view of the water and good food, this is the restaurant to go to. The cold lobster roll was delicious. The fish and chips were outstanding. The service was very nice. If you're from out of town, definitely come here.

They had great options for brunch but none of the food really wowed us. The eggs Benedict was cold by the time it reached us, the burger wasn't super flavorful, and the salads both were just ok. Neither dressing was particularly good. The best thing was the salmon piece on the Ceaser salad. Especially since the rest of the salad was really small and seemed to be 3 uncut pieces of lettuce. None the less, this is a beautiful location. This is a busy spot even though it is tucked away in a difficult area. There were about 6 other families with kids and it's nice that they made accommodations for families, but they also have a strict no stroller policy. Just something to be mindful of.

Went here with a friend whom I hadn't seen for a couple of years. The parking is easy and we were able to get a table outside. We both decided to order the lobster roll (I ordered the cold one; and she ordered the hot one which is made with butter) with the arugula salad. We also had tempura like beans for an app. Food was very good -the tab was expensive but it was nice to treat ourselves well for once. Of course, the view of Marblehead Harbor was great and that really made us happy. Enjoy it. It can be worth a special moment in your life.

We were walking around and needed to rest and eat. Our server Josh was wonderful. I finally ordered the New England Clam Chowder. This had bacon, potatoes, and clams. This was delicious. Josh encouraged me to try the lobster roll. Oh my. New cook in the kitchen. For some reason he added parsley to the lobster. I tried to eat it and I just could not eat it. They took it off the bill and sure enough the cook altered the lobster. Kinda disappointed. Josh then brought us a complimentary tiramisu. That was delicious. Stop and check this place out.

Service - 5 Food - 5Ambiance/feel - 5Very good for lunch with a limited menu. Unfortunately they had sold out of lobster but that's ok - having just returned from England, we had a round with fish and chips "a la" New England. Chef Pineda was NOT in the house (REALLY!? I FINALLY COME TO SEE YOU!!! That's ok - see ya at Bettini in a couple of weeks my dear young one!) but Noel was, and his food is flawless. PERFECT Fish and chips, well seasoned, huge portion, well fried - not a peep out of grannie here (too busy eating). Our lunch companions had HUGE salads topped with a healthy portion of shrimp or salmon.SIMPLE. Clean. Relaxing view of the "parked" boats. Smell of the ocean. And being here off season made for what it wasn't... Crowded.Are there better places in the area? Probably, some of the locals told me that this is their close second favorite. I don't know, but I do know good food and service when I eat it and experience it.I read a review that cautions "young latinos" not to visit?! HMMMMM. Let's start with the fact that grannie here is young at heart and very PUERTORRICAN. It pains me to hear that they felt discriminated against, and I find it intriguing... Chef Pineda is an Irish-Colombian, his second on the helm is Latino... I'm latino and have latino sons ranging from ages 23-39 and I wouldn't hesitate to bring them in a heartbeat - they love beer, good drinks and seafood! They also behave... so I suspect HIGHLY because I KNOW my people - that something may have been "off" that day. Particularly when you drive to Boston to this location because you had a good bar experience - maybe hoping to find the young lady met the first time... (grannie has been around the block a couple of times, and yes, my baby boy went to Babbos before Batalli fell out of grace, when he was 2 years old and Emerils when he was 4, Chef Garces restaurants when he was 6... and every single time I was applauded on my kid...) - SO listen to grannie - IF you are young and latino, make a decent living and have money to spend on something other than chicken nuggets, love seafood and New England beachy-towns, you know how to clean your own apartment and cook, know how to behave in public, treat people decently and tip well and are good to your mom... give it a try. And if Chef Pineda is in, tell him his 'rican Bettini groupie said hi and said she vouches that YOU will represent your mom well! Hey CHEF! Put an arepa with seafood on the menu... I DARE YOU!!!!BUEN PROVECHO PEOPLE!

Who says you gotta eat seafood in Marblehead? One of the best prime ribs I've had! That is all!

For our last meal in New England, this restaurant was a great recommendation. The swordfish was superb and the seafood pasta surprised me by being spicy and delicious (I haven't found many spicy dishes here in New England). Our waitress, Shannon (?), was helpful and quick with putting in our order and suggesting wine/beer. The ambiance of the restaurant is definitely date night but with a homey/casual feel. I just wish the weather was better so we could view the light house from the deck.

The food is outstanding. Coastal view. Lovely staff. Welcoming atmosphere. My lobster roll was recommended to be served cold and was delicious.

The worst restaurant I've ever been to. The food was honestly disgusting and I am not picky. I had two black hairs baked into the haddock. (Picture attached)On top of that, the waiter accidentally spilled the plates he was carrying on myself and my purse. Totally ok- I know accidents happen. He was very apologetic, but It is an expensive bag that was now stained with red marinara sauce from our calamari appetizer. After all of this, the manager apologized and brought over the check for us to pay! We had only ordered one drink and two appetizers at this point & sent back our entrees due to the hairs. Absolutely insane customer service! The owner was there and didn't even bother to come over to our table. On the way out, he asked us to give them another try and said "I'm not sure what happened today". Our waiter was very kind and attentive but the customer service from the management was awful. Stay far away!!

Lovely day to enjoy a meal outside by the water. My friend and I wanted a lobster roll and realized the price was 38 dollars, we decided to split one. The lobster roll arrives and we were shocked! It was just scraps of lobster , no real lobster meat, roll soaked in butter. The scraps of lobster did not come close to filling the roll. So disappointing, we have never seen such a pathetic over priced lobster roll. On a side note , the clam chowder was excellent hence 2 star rating
