There was just the two of us and a few other tables as it was late afternoon however we enjoyed the sports bar vibe. Staff were welcoming friendly and efficient. The food was amazing and delicious. I also found it hilarious how the little birds had learnt how to lift the tea towel covering the bowls of complimentary popcorn to help themselves.
We spent 3 nights in Franz Josef and stopped in here on our first night for Happy hour. The service and cocktails were amazing so we stayed for dinner, which was also delicious. We were keen for an Ouzo after dinner and they had none available. So the manager went out and got a bottle for us to have a few drinks. We enjoyed it so much we came back every night and had dinner here twice. We tried the Salmon, Steak, Ribs, and the chicken burger. All very tasty and generous servings. Lovely to sit outside in the middle of winter with the heaters on.
We really enjoyed the pie option… no ordinary pie but the choice of venison or goat. We had goat. Fantastic, with lovely fresh salad and a pile of really hot fries along with a good bottled very tasty gravy. It is BIG. My wife & I shared and it was enough. My guest had venison and also loved it. Fourth member had pasta & king prawns. The food is excellent and outside seating in brilliant mid Sept sun was an ideal setting. Try it

Consider sharing dishes as portions are large enough for two people
If ordering multiple items, start conservatively to avoid feeling overwhelmed by portion sizes
For a top-quality meal in Franz Josef, try their Surf and Turf or creamy vegetarian carbonara dishes
Enjoy outdoor seating on beautiful days but beware of bees buzzing around; inside offers a cozy sports bar vibe

I would like say the service is good and cheerful, especially the staff who has his very unique hair cut is friendly and helpful.
The foods are find just ok. We have ordered the pizza and fish & chip. The fish is very plain if we don't use any source, perhaps it maybe same as others. Similar to the pizza.

1) Overall - western restaurant, chill and cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, great portion size, offers happy hour, spacious seating capacity, food and drink selection are beer, pizza, burger, salad and many more from The Landing Restaurant & Bar
2) seafood chowder - Creamy and hearty with generous chunks of seafood. Rich in flavor, though could use a touch more seasoning to enhance the ocean freshness.
3) Pumpkin Soup - Smooth, slightly sweet, and comforting. Well-blended with a natural pumpkin taste, perfect as a warm starter. Would be even better with a dash of spice or cream swirl.
4) hawaiian pizza - Classic sweet and savory combo. The pineapple adds a juicy tang that pairs well with the smoky ham. Crust was nicely baked—crispy outside, soft inside. A comforting choice for those who enjoy fruit on pizza
5) creamy carbonara - Rich and indulgent with a velvety sauce that clings perfectly to the pasta. The balance of cream, cheese, and a hint of smokiness was comforting. Slightly heavy, but very satisfying for a classic comfort meal.
