    Amazing plate of yumminess!!!

    Had the porkchop with cheesy mashed potatoes and flame seared tomatoes.... Delicious!!! Always a great meal from Chef Mike. Porkchop was seasoned and cooked to perfection! And Courtney, the bartender, always makes you feel right at home. Smiles and great fun when we are at Landing & Main!

    Fish sandwich , sweet potato fries. The burger plate looked identical to this except it was a burger instead of a piece of fish .

    Found this place online for a late lunch/early dinner after doing some shopping in the area. It was an unusually warm day for March, & it showed that they had outside seating, plus menu items that appealed to us. The photos we saw on Google looked great. We arrived...and the outside seating turned out to be a small patio adjacent to the parking lot. All the outdoor tables were dusty and dirty, obviously not being used. Ok, understandable, it's March. We went inside. There were maybe a half dozen people at the bar who appeared to be regulars. That's it. Nobody at any tables. It WAS a weekday afternoon (Thursday) so we didn't think much of it. The place did not look as new & fresh as it did in the online photos, but it was ok. Our server was the bartender who greeted us when we walked in. My partner decided on some kind of steak tips over crostini dish which the server/bartender recommended, it was a "special" that day, not on the menu. I just ordered the fish sandwich and sweet potato fries. And we waited. And waited. I was hungry. Contemplated leaving. AT LEAST 30-40 minutes went by, and the server finally came over- to tell us that they couldn't find any bread so they couldn't make the steak tips/crostini dish! Wow. She was very nice, and apologetic, but it was still kind of ridiculous. WHY did it take so long to inform us they were out of that item? The food came a little while after that and it wasn't great. The fish was ok, but it tasted like it was frozen not fresh. Same with the sweet potato fries, definitely a frozen product just heated up. Partner's burger was alright, but he said the bun seemed a bit stale (I didn't eat mine). The server did end up comping us for his meal, I guess she felt bad for the wait; so at least we didn't spend a ton. Just overall not great, and I felt like the pics on their website are a little misleading? It looked like a higher end restaurant with great fresh food, and it definitely wasn't that .

    Lobster bisque

    I went to this place because of convenience since it was pretty close to where we were in the area. We went early afternoon and it was not busy at all so we were seated right away. We were a big party of about 10 people and they were able to accommodate for that amount but I don't see it working when it's busy, but it just might. Ordered for apps the lobster bisque which was okay not a lot of flavor, just ok. For my main I got the chicken cutlet sandwich. I asked for cheese because it doesn't come with it. I thought the sandwich was pretty dry and they toast the bread for you just as a heads up for those like me that don't like their sandwiches with toasted bread. Someone in my party ordered the Buffalo wings, which had flavor but were a bit too salty for my taste. I did try the French onion soup from my boyfriend and that was pretty good. Overall, this place has a wide variety of things to choose from which is good for parties that have different tastes, but I don't see myself coming again if I'm in the area.

    Wonderful food! I love this restaurant. Delicious food in a low key atmosphere. Tuna Tacos are worth the trip! Nice menu. Highly recommend!

    Slow service, waitress was very chaotic and inconsistent. Food was very average at best especially for the prices.

    This was a surprisingly good find! One of the best fish & chips I've had!…read more Watch out for that Kool & Deadly, it comes with a whole shot of rum extra in it! Dog friendly, great view of the CT river. Going to be coming back for sure

    Hi, I was happy to hear back from the restaurant that they decided to refund me for my purchase. I…read morelook forward to trying again. There are some things in your video review you wrote up that are not accurate (and some things that you wrote that we're not accurate from my perspectivs) that I would like to have a chance to respond to... Whatever menu I was handed that had the lobster roll description on It did not have a description that included onions. There seem to have been multiple menus the restaurant had that day. When I was outside a server said that she would bring over the lobster menu (this menu was not given to me) when I was reading off of the original menu I was given the lobster roll did not include onion. Honest mistake of wrong menu being given, but it helps for customers to know what ingredients are in things like that when dealing with food sensitivities. The server never checked in to ask how the meal was/if I needed anything. I was a server for over 10 years and I know that's the first things I do after dropping off someone's food to ensure everything is good. There was food left on my plate, fries. Thanks for the refund, and I hope trying another time I will find it to be a better experience!
