About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
Established in 1972, The Landing has stood the test of time—and the elements—as a beloved coastal dining destination for Mother's Day Brunch or Mother's Day Dinner. Nestled right on Marblehead Harbor in the heart of the Historic District, our unbeatable "On the Water Harbor Views" are just the beginning.

Enjoy fresh seafood straight from the dock, alongside hand-cut steaks, tender duck, and a wide range of vegetarian and gluten-free options. Our signature chowder is a local favorite, and our extensive wine and cocktail lists pair perfectly with any meal.

Whether you're relaxing on the outdoor Deck or Patio with harbor views, savoring dinner in one of our cozy private dining rooms, or enjoying a night of live music, The Landing offers something for everyone. Located just steps from Fort Sewall, Crocker Park, and the Jeremiah Lee Mansion, it’s the perfect spot to experience the best of Marblehead.

    Excellent food and ambiance sitting in the outside deck overlooking beautiful Marblehead Harbor, watching the boats go by and the sounds of the sea.

    We love coming to the Landing every summer. The location is ideal and the reputation is well earned. The clam chowder is always superb, and our salmon and pasta dishes were equally succulent and well prepared. Our server - Wendy - was excellent; and was well informed, timely and had a great sense of humor. We will be back soon!

    The five entrees we had were all very good- steak, haddock, salmon, swordfish and chicken. Everyone was very happy w/ their choices. Shared a flourless chocolate cake which was good, not as fudge as expected. Only complaint was lack of parking. Beautiful spot on harbor w/ good food!

    Great location, food was good, the lobster roll was small compared to others I’ve had, but tasty! Clam chowder was good, not great…

    Lovely setting on covered, outside deck overlooking harbor. Ordered my favorite, lobster ravioli (light on the sauce, but that’s just me). Perfect, as usual. Server was fabulous, never forgot us, brought food at appropriate times and always with a delightful demeanor. Our friends ordered lobster rolls, not as appealing as in the past, chopped up in little pieces. Better places in town if that’s what you’re looking for. (But fabulous French fries.) Go back again? Of course? Many times this summer.

    Great lunch spot right on the water. Sat on the heated deck which was perfect for a rainy day. Great service by our waitress.
