The Landings Restaurant

It feels like The Landings is a hidden gem on the harbor. It's always relaxing, the service is good and the food is great. They work hard to take care of special needs, including special dog accommodations. Their specials are inventive and their care with everyday items shows. The blueberry salad and wedge salads are huge, refreshingly crisp and flavorful. The shawarma burger is one of the best lamb burgers we've had.

Tldr: Food is not that great, but wait staff even worse

My wife and I like to try new restaurants when we visit the surrounding towns. Today, we stopped at The Landings for lunch. They were not overly busy, and we asked to be seated on the deck. Waitress seemed pleasant and took our drink order, then returned for lunch order. I ordered the Cowboy burger but asked for no lettuce or tomato and cooked medium. The wife asked for the vegan burger. After at least 30 minutes after our order was taken, the waitress came by and apologized for it taking so long. I replied, "No problem." I also make it a point to respond with "yes please, no thank you or no, but thank you for asking" when talking to the wait staff. Another 30 minutes at least rolls by, and a different person (owner or manager) stops by to say our order never made it to the kitchen as they had a printer issue, but its in now. And they comp'd my wifes fountain drink (thats costs what, maybe 50 cents to the restaurant??). After waiting another 30 minutes, the food comes out. My burger was med rare and had lettuce. Wifes vegan burger had two extremely small pieces of bread as the bun. She politely asked for a full-size bun. After we finished, the waitress came by and cleared the table but then didn't come back to ask if we wanted dessert or our check. After yet another 20 mins, my wife finally asks another waitress if we can get our check as it's been ridiculous waiting for our waitress. She finally brings it. I leave her a 10% tip based on her not following up on our order and having to ask for the check. After walking out of the restaurant. The waitress has the audacity to follow us out, check in had and say that while our food was late, she worked really hard, and we were very rude and to not return to the restaurant. I told her it wasn't a problem as we had no intention of ever returning anyway.we were nothing but polite while waiting on our food and check. Waitress didn't "work hard" as she should have been asking the kichen where her tables order was. And more prompt in bringing the check. She was just pissed I left her a 10% tip.she didn't really deserve that much. Stay away from this restaurant. There are much better places with way better food and service elsewhere in town

Terrible service, some of the worst food I've ever had. Mussels teeny, haddock chowder burnt no chunks to it.my husband had a salad with chicken,never seen anything so pathetic. Don't waste your time. Chef doesn't give a damn.

Ordered fried halibut fillet however, the fish had a gray color and was under cooked. I doubt that it was halibut which is pure white everywhere else I ordered it.
Clam chowder was thick and rich; clams were perfectly cooked.
Super friendly waitress.

What a fantastic location for a meal! And the service is wonderful. We loved the cocktail menu and the food was amazing! Literally everything we ordered was fantastic! In particular the fish tacos were amazing!

Great food! I enjoy the lobster dinner as well as the view. I like restaurants that have their own parking lot so that was a plus for me as well. Great martinis. I stop by everytime I'm in town

We came up from Boston and we stayed at the trade inn . We conveniently found the landings restaurant right around the corner. And let me tell you the food there was phenomenal. Our waitress Liz was super sweet and very attentive. I had the shrimp fettuccine with arugula topping and my friend had the chicken Alfredo pasta . And for dessert a blueberry bread pudding so yummy . We enjoyed everything Thank for your hospitality and great food.

This place was recommended, so we swung by in the mid-afternoon for a late lunch. Pretty decent meal and we lucked up with a view of the harbor. We ordered the haddock sandwich, fish and chips plate, and the haddock chowder. My husband described his fish and chips as being a little soggy but tasted good. Not the best he had. My friend really did enjoy the haddock sandwich. Had no complaints with that. My son and I had the haddock chowder. My first experience with haddock chowder and it was really tasty. A little watery but tasty. Service on the other hand was not the best. Granted they didn't have that many people in the kitchen working. We waited an hour for food and my husband politely inquired about the wait. He was told by the hostess " there's just two guys back there working their asses off". Then it gets better. Our waitress comes to our table and informs us that she was told to come speak to us about the wait
She was very abrupt and raspy the whole time we were there. Will I come back?.... probably not unless there's no other place to eat in Rockland.

Zero stars and the worst lobster roll in all Maine - the waitress was a fabulous young lady and it was her first day - she provided great service and was kind and pleasant - however the old maid manager with the short chopped hair was absolutely rude and angry as I was paying for my meal in full and tipped the waitress well, I said this was the worst lobster roll in all of Maine and the clam chowder should be renamed potato chowder - the manager cashier said ' no it wasn't we put 3.5 Oz of lobster in every roll". Ok, it's AWFUL however you make it

You can't make this level of rudeness up folks STAY AWAY FROM THE LANDING

- I ordered a cup of clam chowdah and a $24 Lobstah roll - the $7 chowdah arrived and was loaded with potato's and literally NO clams - the Lobstah roll was a huge hunk of bread and there were 3 small hunks of Lobstah in mayonnaise - see the photos - It was fresh but I was turned off that literally anywhere else in a 5 mile arduous you can have a Lobstah roll with triple the meat and less money

I went 5 minutes down the road to the CLAW Lobstah shack and got a small roll for only $21 and it had 6.5 Oz of lonstah meat on the roll -

Love the food and the ambience! Ashley was such a delight!! We gave us suggestions on our trip to Maine and we really enjoyed her company!
