When guests come into town we always make a point to go to The Landmark Restaurant, not only for the fabulous food but for the history and ambience as well. Built in 1908 as a Mormon Church, there used to be a canal lined with large cottonwood trees on the east side (what is now Extension Road). The building later became the first campus of Mesa Community College. The Landmark has an extensive menu including gluten-free options, but it’s the salad room that I gravitate to with every visit. The Victorian decor with white linen tablecloths reminds me of being a kid and finally getting to sit at the grown-ups table during the holidays. After a meal I like to visit the photo gallery downstairs where over 200 historical photographs are on display. If you’re looking for an out-of-the-ordinary place to have a leisurely lunch or dinner, put The Landmark Restaurant at the top of your list.
