The Landmark sits just opposite City Hall and has a prime location front and center on Commercial Street. It's easy to find. It's a typical white cape building with a rainbow flag hanging out front. Some gaudy chandiers hang in the window. The back of the restaurant faces the harbor.
One of the problems with Family Week is that we move in a pack. It's never just a simple, "table for four". It's always ten or twelve of us, enough to make the best hostess run for cover. However when we walked into the Landmark and announced ten, the host only gave a big smile and said, "Right this way."
The restaurant was not full, maybe not a good sign at noon during the peak of the summer season. Only a few tables were full, one being a lone drag queen enjoying a bowl of clam chowder. However we were sat against the wall in the back room and our table had a wonderful beach and harbor view from the large glass windows that are the back wall. Yes, we were really on the tip of the Cape. The room itself was a bit plain, but heck. Who needs decor when you have a view like this?!
Our waiter came pronto, took our drink orders and was friendly and in control of our large group. Our drinks were always kept full and he kept an eye on us to make sure our needs were met.
I ordered a lobster salad, others at the table ordered the tuna salad and the kids all picked the burgers.
The food came quickly and everything was good. My lobster salad was full of lobster meat and was very large. The price was just under $10.00 and worth every penny. The kids all gave their thumbs up to the burgers.
I was impressed by the Landmark for lunch. The service was quick, and friendly. The view was memorable and the food was pretty good. I am not sure why it was so empty on such a busy day. It met, even surpassed our expectations. I would glady have lunch here again.
