Landmark Restaurant — Restaurant in Jamestown

Went there last night for an early Valentines Dinner. Normally we love this place. We both ordered shrimp scampi having had it before and the avocado rolls for an appetizer.

We had never had the avocado rolls before so of course when it came out we started eating it. It was ok compared to other ones we have tried at other restaurants... normally they are served with sauce.. this wasn't. Once we were just about finished however the waitress comes out with a container of sauce and says "oh sorry this was supposed to come with it"...

Then comes the salad; which was great. So was the Fat Tire I might add...

Finally comes the entree... 4 shrimp on top of bland noodles would be the only way I describe it. Having had this dish at the Landmark many times before this it was very disappointing. Neither of us came close to finishing it as it simply tasted like noodles on a plate.

The waitress came by and asked how everything was and I kinda gave her a look. I didn't want to be rude but the fact that neither of us ate or asked for a to-go box should have made it clear. I did however ask what happened to the food? Normally it is very good but this time it was very bland... She responded with, "Patrick isn't here today"...

... apparently now anytime we come here in the future we have to ask if Patrick is cooking...

... Lesson Learned. $90.00...

We loved our meal at the Landmark. Even though it was mid-week in November, the dining room was pretty full and the bar was hoping. We made reservations, although we didn't need to. During high season, I would recommend to reserve. We were shown into the dining room which had both white table clothes on some tables but not others. I would have pegged this as a more formal dining experience, I was mistaken. From formal birthday celebrations to casual (in sweatpants and hoodies) patrons filled the restaurant. This just means, all are welcomed and no dress code was enforced (but we did dress up a bit).

The food was very, very good, the service was impeckable and the atmosphere was relaxing, perfectly lit and enjoyable (nicely decorated). I started with the lobster bisque - thick and creamy. I had the salmon and scallops, my husband had another seafood dish - the scallop rissoto (delicious). It was generous and very good. We could not take our leftovers home (although we did have some). We were traveling the next day so no need for the smell of seafood in the car.

I would highly recommend this restaurant. We are very glad we decided to try something in town instead of a repeat dinner...

We took a road trip from Ohio for Mothers day to Seneca casino and didn't want to eat at the casino. I found this little gem on the way home. We didn't have reservations, but the host and owners were able to accommodate us immediately. Our server was right there with waters and took out drink order. We had appetizers of delicious artichokes, figs with goat cheese,sausage wrapped in bacon with a delicious sauce, and the best stuffed homemade sausage in peppers. Service was excellent. No waiting! Complimentary bread and butter. We ordered filet tornadoes with homemade garlic mashed potatoes and blue cheese sauce. You get 2 nice size filets. Also ordered veal parmesan that was cooked perfectly with a side of pasta..huge portions. We couldn't eat it all and had to box it up. Their dessert menu is incredible with all in house homemade desserts. Had a flourless chocolate torte with raspberry coulis sauce to enjoy at home. If you are in the downtown Jamestown area this is a must stop to dine. Reservations suggested. We will definitely be back to try their wonderful menu selections. Thank you for such a wonderful dinner experience to start my Mothers...
