The second branch of Marc Murphy's casual American bistro located on the third floor of the Time Warner Center is classic Upper West Side -- families with strollers, young upwardly mobile couples and groups of friends gathering over cocktails and nibbles, passers-by, local neighborhoody folks coming in for a quick bite, you name it, it's easy and convenient. Always packed full with a nice buzz in the room -- come in for brunch, lunch, or dinner and have an extensive selection of food options.
Walking in at 6:30 on a Sunday evening for a large family dinner, the sleek and modern room was practically full to the brim. We had a nice circular table towards the back of the restaurant for nine -- but the mixture of the diameter of the table plus the volume of the room made it hard for us to talk freely from one side of the table to the other.
So what did I have?
Seared wild Sockeye Salmon with winter roasted vegetables with a side of roasted brussel sprouts topped with shaved Parmesan. Simple yet flavorful and wonderfully seasonal, this was the perfect meal after a day spent outdoors hiking. However, next time I come to Landmarc, I most certainly won't come at the Sunday evening dinner rush as it took over an hour for us to receive our food. Overall everyone was pleased with their dishes, that is when they arrived.
A lovely local joint for simple, well prepared dishes and a nice atmosphere.

Day 754 : Landmarc Time Warner Brunchtime
Landmarc is Marc Murphy's chic and sleek bistro style restaurant on the 3rd floor of the Time Warner Center with another branch down in Tribeca. An extensive menu offering something to satisfy every palate without breaking the bank and an excellent wine list. However, don't try to order a glass of wine, they only have half bottles. They open at 7am on Sundays serving their breakfast and lunch menus which for the Upper West Side is somewhat unusual and by the time 12:30 rolls around, there is a line out the door. First come first serve, it has a lively and fun atmosphere.
I decided to stick with brunch and had their Eggs Norwegian with a few adjustments. Poached eggs with smoked salmon on a homemade English muffin, hold the Hollandaise, add some gruyere for the cheesy nutty twist. Simple and classic yet done well - this was the perfectly filling brunch dish and not something I would necessarily have at home which is always key for me when ordering brunch dishes.
I also had a mimosa which instead of arriving at the table already prepared -- one receives a small individual bottle of bubbly and a carafe of freshly squeezed orange juice -- combine as you wish. This was such a refreshing change to the majority of restaurants you frequent where you get 2/3rd orange juice and one third not so fabulous bubbly!
Easy, convenient, and delish, this was a great place for catching up!
