Landing & Main

We tried this place for the first time last night for my mom’s birthday. Everything was exceptional! From appetizers to dessert, we were all very happy. My husband said it was one of the best meals he’s had in a while, I would agree. We will definitely be back.

Landing & Main in Deep River, CT, is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels perfect for any occasion. The fantastic menu offers a great variety of options—from fresh seafood and perfectly cooked steaks to creative appetizers and delicious burgers. Their Lobster Bisque is hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had! The service is slow, but the front-of-house staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. During my visit, I tried the tuna wrap, tomato soup, and fries, which were perfectly cooked. The flavors were incredible, and the presentation was beautiful. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and experience you get. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Deep River, Landing & Main is a must-visit spot. I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!

Ok...so let’s say the food is incredible... a picture is worth a thousand words. This place never disappoints! It is a cheers atmosphere. Courtney, Jody and Mike are great bartenders who really know their way around the bar! So yummmm

Decided to try something new in town and found Landing & Main in the small town of Deep River. This used to be the Ivory Elephant across from the old Piano Factory building. We were greeted with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff upon being seated at our table. Kelli our server came to our table and was very friendly, and explained the food and drink specials for the day. The drink specials were a good mix of modern takes on old favorites..We went with the "Tee Time" spiked Ice tea, and a Classic Martini.Our drinks came a few minutes later , and we were happy with our choices. We decided on the Tuna Nachos app, French onion soup, Blue Cheese Burger, and Soft shell Clams special. The Tuna Nachos were delicious and made with fresh ingredients, and the Soup was made in the classic style. Dinner arrived not long after the Nachos, and came out hot, and smelling amazing. The burger was cooked as requested, which typically doesn't happen much these days, and the seafood was not overdone, or simply" heated up".. We had a chance to chit chat with the owner before leaving and he was happy to ask us how our dinner was, and our experience dining at the new place. We both were satisfied and would recommend it to others staying or visiting in the area..

A very pleasant place, quiet, with a cozy fireplace, a bar and of course delicious food. The service is very nice, pleasant and friendly waitresses. I was there with my friends who almost a year ago moved to the US. They got in love with that place! Separate children's menu with good selection. Delicious cocktails, thanks to the bartender! And of course I was delighted with the food, thanks to the chef and his team! I ordered stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer- just great! I also ordered a harvest salad with pieces of steak - oh God it was just magical! My friends ordered smokehouse burgers and were absolutely delighted! I highly recommend this place! Me and my friends want to go back there in the summer to enjoy eating outside because they also have tables outside!

Good bar area and quiet dining area. Their menu is diverse and you can get practically anything! Great food, havent tried too many of the drinks. The waitress was very sweet. Unfortunately we found an ant in our drink, but they were willing to swap it out for another.

We had Heather as our server and she was wonderful. We were a boisterous group of six people. She sat us earlier than our reservation and served drinks while we waited for our party. The restaurant was not at all full but the few folks there seemed very happy. The owner came to say friendly hello and short chitchat. But Heather is the star of our visit! She was very gracious patient and answered all of our questions (and we had a lot of questions) with no judgement or pressure. It helped that we were there on a bit of a slow night. The Food: everyone's dish was amazing!!!! I had the Coffee rub pork chop which was one of the specials. One other popular dish was the buttermilk chicken on the main menu. My favorite part was how well seasoned the food is. Not over done with too much salt. You don't really need anything but your fork and knife. The pork chop was perfectly done, juicy and every single bite was delicious. Its a HUGE portion so you will have leftovers. The carrots were cooked in a way that, though they were sweet, you could still taste the integrity of the carrot ( and not just the syrupy brow sugar; very well balanced). You really want to get the mash potatoes. We had the key lime pie for dessert and buffalo cauliflower and spinach artichoke dip as our two appetizers. A great night of food and conversation was had by all. Shout out to Mike (Matt?) The chef! He's amazing. Really delicious meal.

Yum! Our waitress was also the bartender, even with her having two areas to focus on, she was very attentive to both us and her bar guests. Food came out quickly and hot. We started with the spinach artichoke dip, it came in soup pot, perfect for keeping it cool. It had plenty of cheese and the perfect chips for it. I got the fettuccine Alfredo, my boyfriend got the Landing burger without the shrooms. Burger was cooked perfectly to his liking and the pasta was just as cheesy and saucy as I could wish!! We had just come from the beach and dying of thirst, she not only kept our waters full, she brought us a whole pitcher!! Our meal came to 50, so about 25 a person, which was excellent for the food quality!! Overall the atmosphere was very quiet but very cozy, it had a cute little fireplace (obviously not on because it’s 100 degrees out). They had a large liquor selection behind the bar, and lots of staple food items. Definitely recommend stopping in to this little place!
