The founding concept behind Benchmarc Restaurants, the burgeoning restaurant group led by restaurateur and chef Marc Murphy is simple: to create quintessential neighborhood eateries – accessible, intimate and unique with a focus on creating community for its diners and staff. With strong roots in each of the neighborhoods they inhabit, the restaurants in the Benchmarc group are passionately committed to combining exceptional food and wine with distinctively stylish settings delivered with gracious and attentive service. Benchmarc Restaurants by Marc Murphy include Landmarc [TriBeCa], Landmarc [at the Time Warner Center], Ditch Plains and Kingside .
