The Landing Restaurant

A quaint and a bit weathered seafood place right on Marblehead harbor. Walked in for late lunch, sat by water outside. Place was busy and was serving bar menu with not many choices. Honestly didn't know what to expect for their culinary quality. But what a pleasant surprise! We were impressed by their Tuna tartare! There were service hiccups with our young server like forgetting our drinks and not taking it off our bill, but sunny weather and their delectable food made the experience forgivable. -Tuna tartare $21 melts in your mouth delicate finely minced tuna, served with pickled ginger, togarashi aioli, homemade chips and green miso vinaigrette -Fried calamari $19 fresh and tender, served with Chipotle aioli and hot pomodoro. Was served hot and fried clean. -Burger $19 Served with chedd

Erin was such a fantastic host — super friendly and fun to chat with! Our group of four came in as walk-ins and got an outdoor table overlooking the water. We ordered the crispy haddock, shrimp burrata ravioli, and garlic bread. The crispy haddock was AMAZING. Even my friend who doesn’t like fish enjoyed it! The charred asparagus, cherry tomatoes, sauce, and potato purée were all perfect together. One tiny improvement or request is I wish they gave a little more of the veggies (like four asparagus spears instead of two). Overall fantastic place with fresh seafood. I would come here again!

The landing is a quaint restaurant in downtown Marblehead, serving up great food and a super inviting atmosphere. I had the crab cake sandwich, which was delicious. The menu has many options to choose from, and the drink menu is huge as well. Views of the harbor are great, too. My waitress Karen was amazing! Great service from her, and the food came out quick as well. Parking is a little difficult as there is only a small lot in front. Otherwise you'll have to find street parking, which isn't usually that bad. I highly recommend The Landing for a nice lunch or dinner by the harbor.

A really great place to stop for lunch on a cold winter day. The clam chowder was rich and herbal, without being cloying and pasty, and the fish is very fresh and perfectly cooked. Karen is a delightful very helpful server!

The Landing is a beautiful venue right on the water — the setting alone makes it worth a visit, but the food takes it to another level. Portions were both generous and delicious, leaving us fully satisfied without sacrificing quality or presentation. The staff was attentive and welcoming, making sure everything was perfect from start to finish. A wonderful dining experience all around!
