Landmark Kitchen and Bar of Sandusky, OH — Restaurant in Sandusky

5 stars! Hands down the best place we’ve tried in a long time! A few months ago we went to a very nice restaurant down the road and as we left we were walking past Landmark and a nice man handed us a menu raving about the perch. Tonight, trying to think of a new place to try I remembered that man and his perch and headed back. First thoughts when walking in were the staff is so friendly and the restaurant is beautiful. We had our son with us so they sat us in the dining area that was just gorgeous. I’d like to reiterate how nice our server was, Emily. She was patient, kind and helped with recommendations. THE FOOD: Fantastic!! We came for the perch which was delicious, however the All In burger my sweetheart ordered was the most delicious burger I have ever tried. I’m not being dramatic it truly was the best burger I have ever tried. The calamari is the freshest I’ve had in Ohio. It’s thick and perfectly cooked accompanied by the okra, peppers and onion. The clams were perfectly seasoned and came with a delicious bread. My toddler gobbled up most of his food which is rare at any restaurant so that is all the proof I need that this place is the real deal. Fantastic job, Landmark! You can tell they take pride in their restaurant and they care about the quality...

Landmark was mostly good. We went during a week night for dinner. We were seated inside and could see the lake, which was very nice. It has a casual bar type atmosphere. It was a little rough around the edges in terms of cleanliness.

Our service was really good, and our drinks and food came out quickly.

We shared the scallop appetizer and it was delicious and cooked perfectly.

My wife got the Cajun chicken linguine and it was very tasty, well seasoned pasta and good flavor.

I ordered the ribeye dinner and unfortunately I found it very underwhelming, especially considering the price. Almost not seasoned at all. It was cooked to medium rare as I had asked, but it just didn’t have much flavor. I ended up having to use a generous amount of table salt and pepper to get through it. The green beans were also not seasoned. The seasonal potatoes, however, were very good.

I think if we revisit I’ll stick to a pasta or sea food dish. Their signature perch dish looked very delectable when we saw it come out for...

Great waitress. Decent views of the water. Food, unfortunately, was not good. We were tired from the drive and famished so we ate it and told waitress everything was fine. Wife's burger was way overcooked. Dry as a bone. Son ordered a Ribeye Steak. It was Prime Rib night soooo I guess they just slapped a piece of wet PR on the grill for a few minutes. C'mon. 😐 My fried perch, which the waitress told me was a specialty for them was rubbery. (Wife couldn't stop laughing when I coined my meal, 'Perch Noses'). We also had roasted sprouts almondine that they need to re-name 'thrice-charred' ashy green snaps. The pan seared scallops were good if you wipe the 2-cycle o'...i mean sauce off. (We are not picky eaters, folks!!). To me, this seems like an operation with an absentee owner. Or because they are located where they are they can get away with it (like at Airports or other tourist spots). Lastly, they charge an additional 3% if u use a credit card. I can't recall if it was pointed out on...
