Ye Olde Landmark Tavern

It was (apparently) a very busy night for dining establishments along Route 20 from Cazenovia to Morrisville. After striking out at our first two choices for dinner, I remembered there was a restaurant in Bouckville that I had driven by dozens of times. After a quick phone call to confirm that they were serving dinner, our group of 8 made the drive to the Landmark.
Entering the Landmark, I might as well have just tied up my horses outside as I was instantly transported to the 19^th century. The walls are like a museum, featuring artwork, documents, and other tidbits related to the history of the hotel and the town.
Our server was extremely friendly and took time to talk to us about the restaurant and hotel before announcing the nights specials. We ended up trying the stuffed mushrooms (great) and the artichoke/​crab dip (good). Two of us had clam chowder which was some of the best I’ve had. Entrees were perfectly portioned and left just enough room to order dessert. Between the 8 of us, we tried the NY strip steak, grilled salmon, baked haddock, shrimp linguini, and the chicken schnitzel. They offer a small plate menu and a more expensive entrée menu. Burgers are available if you are looking for something a little easier.
We tried several desserts, and none of us left disappointed. The Landmark is a throwback to a different time and will charm you with a classy décor, excellent service, and great food. Do not make the mistake I had for so long and drive past it while you are on Route 20. It is more than worth the stop (especially for antique hounds).

Lovely, comfortable overnight accommodations. Tasty supper. Very reasonable price for everything. Just what these weary travelers needed!

Stayed here December 27, 2015. Very accommodating and honorable innkeepers, a charming spot in spite of minor construction inconveniences. Unobtrusive but helpful help. I felt like royalty, lovely food for dinner and breakfast, lovely room. See photo.

charming and historic and very authentic !

Drove up at 8:45 PM, looking not for a meal, but a place to stay. It was a June evening, and we had been following US 20 for sometime, and as it was getting darker, we noticed the road side signs for Landmark Tavern.
We arrived, inquired about the rooms, there are 5, and were shown 2, which we needed. The rooms were fabulous, decorated in period antiques, and were clean and quite large as well. The room rate also included a continental breakfast in the tavern the following morning.
The breakfast was also excellent, with fresh juices, muffins, cereals, and fruits, played out in the tavern below. We were all very pleased with the accommodations, and recommend the Landmark Tavern as an overnight stop on your drive through the area.

Excellent food and service. All and all we had a delightful evening for our group of 6 family members. Really could not ask for more/​better.

Had a wonderful meal here last night! Roast duckling, chicken schnitzel, salmon with pineapple chutney, calamari and clams casino starters, nice wines, chewy warm sourdough bread — all fantastic! If only we’d saved room for dessert… because that New Orleans bread pudding with bourbon sauce sounded amaaazing.

I went there for my birthday ordered a medium filet mignon and they gave me a WELL DONE completely shriveled and dry $ 40 filet. You’d think it being my birthday would have have at least given me a somewhat decent steak. Never going back again.

My wife and I were there for lunch. We both had their Landmark Cheeseburger. A
½ pound black angus burger, ciabatta roll. My wife had hers with Jewett’s Cheddar and I choose the bleu cheese. Both were cooked to perfection. My wife was able to substitute a salad for fries. I went with the fries. My fries were excellent and my wife’s salad looked beautiful and was fantastic.
Wine — Pinot Grigio. I don’t remember the vintner. I prefer a crisper Pinot.
Good Coffee.
Dessert — New Orleans Bread Pudding with a Bourbon Sauce? The bread pudding was very dense and heavy. It had been formed in a mold. I am not sure what type of bread was used but it effected helped make the pudding very dense. The sauce not much taste.

Amazing food. From crispy duck to «not for children» awesome quesadilla!

In my previous review, I mentioned my now 90 YO Mother-​in-​Law wanted her family to celebrate her birthday here and I must say TEAM Ye Olde Tavern went above and beyond to take GREAT care of our group of 9.
Our waiter Jonah, pardon if misspelled handled our family like it was his own mother at the table.
The service was exceptional but on top of that the FOOD was even better.
Today’s menu items: APPETIZERS — Stuffed Mushrooms, Crab Cakes, Clams Casino (1^st time eating clams for some family members and they loved them), Calamari shared.
For me instead of a salad — I was in the mood for Onion Soup Gratinee and I am normally not one to order soup but wanted to try some. I must say, this was one of the best Onion Soups I have had and the big thing — it was not salty which I find at other places… I would highly recommend this as an APPETIZER!
Entrée’s — For me again, normally do not order Lamb out but the Grilled Lamb was fantastic cooked to perfection, 1^st time ordering this out my nephew — Roast Duckling, we all had to try it that was how good it tasted. He ate it all except for the skin, his loss :)… They had a special steak with lobster sauce, spouse and her sister could not have enjoyed it more.
Black Angus N.Y. Strip Steak and Grilled Salmon was other family choices with the Birthday gal once again having their Filet Mignon. Portion sizes and prices are well worth the trip to Bouckville.
Everything was cooked perfectly, tasted great, incredible service and our family hasn’t stopped talking about the next visit to the Ye Olde Landmark. Thank you Chef Andrew, hostess Linda and Jonah for making this day extra special.
