With so many restaurants to choose from and the fact that we were only in town for one good dining night, I did extensive Internet research prior to arriving in the city. We were staying up around Macy's but chose to eat at the Landmarc in Tribeca. What a great choice! We probably passed 100 restaurants on our way there AND were glad we did. I read their menu online, along with several reviews. It was better than advertised. I hope the owner doesn't get mad at me, because I read that this is a local place with very few tourists.

We started the dinner with a very nice New Zealand wine recommended to us by the friendly bartender. Everything I read about their wine list and pricing policies was true. I have never been to a restaurant that priced wines pretty close to retail. It was refreshing.
For starters, my wife ordered her favorite, French Onion soup. It was very good. I wish I had ordered the calamari. It looked great, but I had had some the previous night in the Poconos. For dinner I had the rib eye, THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD, and that includes Flemings, Ruth's Chris, and Mortons. My wife had the filet migon. Both steaks were perfect, as were the side dishes. For dessert we tried the sample platter. You get a small portion of all five of their desserts, another great idea.
The atmosphere is great. Although it was a smaller restaurant, you "had" to visit with the other guests waiting for a table in the bar area. We met some really nice people there, and they all had the same question for us, "How did you find this place"? I told them that I had found it through my research on the Internet.
The service was great. We did see a family there with two young children. They brought them blue cotton candy on a platter for dessert. It was so interesting that the couple sitting next to us asked for some. They had been to this restaurant four or five times before. We were very pleased with the whole evening and would definitely come back.
