The Landmark Restaurant

Over the past 10 years, the kitchen at the Landmark Restaurant at the Warwick Melrose Hotel has been the stage for a number of Dallas’ best-known chefs. Doug Brown, who came to Landmark from Nana Grill, impressed the Dallas Morning News’ then-restaurant-critic Dotty Griffith in 2002 with his braised veal cheeks with truffled potatoes and kumquat coulis. Joel Harloff, who later went to Dali Wine Bar as top toque, “sexed up” the restaurant’s menu two years later, as Griffith would tell it, with a dish of lobster, sea scallops, shaved fennel, red onion and orange. And in 2008, then-restaurant-critic Bill Addison was wowed by Jeff Moschetti’s foie gras parfait with slow-roasted wild boar, vin cotto, slivered figs and sherry foam. It was one of Addison’s favorite dishes of the year. (Full review)
