We came here for dinner on a weeknight and were seated promptly. They have tables overlooking the Bay which make for a great view of the sunset and the water. They also have some kind of an outdoor patio seating. Parking is plentiful and the restaurant has a nautical themed decor. Our server, Jessica, was great! She walked us through the menu, informed us of the popular dishes and checked on us often. We got some drinks which were well made. We started off with the crab and artichoke dip - a tasty dip with some crispy baguette. They also bring you their house garlic bread which is delicious! We got the Admiral's feast - a three course menu where you can choose a soup/ salad, main and dessert. The clam chowder was good and the Caesar salad was standard. Next, the sirloin was perfectly cooked as requested. This was served with some asparagus (which sadly lacked seasoning) and mashed potatoes. The salmon was also cooked to the desired done ness (medium rare) and served with fingerling potatoes and fresh vegetables. Dessert was creme brulee the only option in the set menu which was standard. Portions are decent sized and I needed to take some of my food back home! Overall, a decent place for a leisurely meal. read more

The Maple Pear & Blue Salad from Horatio's tasted like somebody dumped maple syrup on a Costco spring mix and prayed the blue cheese would distract you. Also... where were the pears? I think I found one witness-protection-program slice hiding under a leaf. And the Cajun Chicken Fettuccine? Menu made it sound like New Orleans. Plate showed up tasting like microwaved spaghetti with commitment issues. read more

Always love Horatio's, some times they slip up, but when they get back in their grove both service and food are consistently good. My family I can always count on Kristen and Ester to take care of us! Kristen has been our server more recently and she never lets us down! She has great enthusiasm, knows the menu well, and is approachable. The ambience hasn't changed since we've been going and we love it just the way it is, as its warm, inviting, and makes us feel like we're on a boat without the seasickness. I would be remiss if I didn't share a random and uncomfortable incident that took place this evening. A new food runner came to bring a dish to our table, asked us if there was anything else he could get us, letting us know he could get us anything we wanted. My mother asked for the house bread that we've always referred to as Focaccia, because it used to be made using that bread, if you know you know. He looked confused, so I explained. He adamantly corrected us on the type of bread that was used, and then started to say that he thought he heard something else and tried to start talking to my father in Spanish, who was caught off guard. Afterwards, the food runner turned to my mother and she firmly stated that she wasn't going to be speaking Spanish, that it wasn't something she could do. As if things couldn't get any more weird, he asks my mom if she wants to go have dinner at his house down the street. My parents and I were both caught off guard and stunned by what was playing out during our dinner. My mom adamantly shot down the guy stating she wasn't having dinner at Horatio's, and the guy persisted until our waitress came back to catch the end of it, where he finally retracted his offer. I know this behavior isn't typical for Horatio's, but I would be disappointed if this type of behavior continued and got in the way of the above standard, impecable, and professional service at Horatio's. read more

Went here for our anniversary. Loved everything about the place. Location, decor, service, food, and pricing.

Stopped by for a quick & quiet lunch. Hubby had a request for a bowl of clam chowder. I had my usual pear & pecan salad, my absolute favorite. Alan, our server kicked us off with their hot buttered garlic focaccia bread, oh seriously! The bread speaks for itself, sooo good! Love the view and atmosphere while it was somewhat quiet, nice to enjoy the solitude. read more

Haven't been to Horatio's since I was a teen. It's sits off in the marina by El Torito's and Marina Inn. Nice size parking lot but not very well lit. The restaurant itself is a little on the darker side but the aesthetic gives port or ship vibes. The service was a bit slow. It took an hour to receive the incorrect order, while noticing that larger tables sat after us already had their food. We received the taster platter but the bread was burnt. 4/10 I had the grilled shrimp scampi with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Good flavor but wasn't hot. Nice size shrimp. The potatoes had seized and the asparagus- thin and overcooked!! 6/10 Lobster bisque was flavorful but came late. 8/10 The crab and shrimp pasta was well seasoned and a nice portion. Quite rich. 8/10 Perhaps just an off night. Willing to try again in the future read more

What a great find by the marina! This seafood spot totally nails the coastal vibe -- the interior feels like you're dining inside a ship, with tons of nautical décor that makes the whole experience feel fun and immersive. Pretty neat place overall, and the atmosphere really sets the tone for a relaxed, waterfront meal. The food was so good. The calamari was perfectly cooked -- crispy on the outside, tender on the inside AND had fried artichokes too! -- and the salmon BLTA sammie was absolutely amazing. Super fresh, flavorful, and piled high with all the good stuff. Definitely a must-order. They also have a great selection of beers on tap, which paired perfectly with everything. And shoutout to our server, David! He was so sweet and attentive, checking in just the right amount and making sure we had everything we needed. Service like that makes such a difference. Can't wait to come back and try more from this yummy menu. Highly recommend if you're craving seafood by the water! read more

Horatio's is a very nice spot at the San Leandro Marina, that we've had the pleasure of visiting a couple of times now. The location couldn't be better. Overlooking the water, this is a great place to have a romantic dinner or drinks while watching the sunset. The interior is very nice, with a nautical motif. The restaurant is very spacious, a good choice if you're hosting a party with a large group. Horatio's is affiliated with Skates on the Bay and Kinkaids, of the Landry's Restaurant Group, which I picked up on right away, since they have a similar menu and motif. Skates fell out of favor with us after a really bad service experience there years ago, but we won't hold that against Horatio's. So far we've only been in for drinks and appetizers, but I'm looking forward to having a full dinner here soon. Appetizer-wise, their crab and artichoke dip is a must. They also start you off with warm garlic bread, which is yum. They have a very nice menu of creative craft cocktails. Reminds me of a really swanky cocktail lounge called Petrus we went to when we were in Serbia a few years ago. Service is excellent. Staff is welcoming, attentive, and professional. We look forward to returning soon. read more

I dined with my family for an early Mother's Day celebration.Service was great until we got to our table. We made reservations and did not receive our entrees until 2 hours after. We had a table full of empty glasses and only received one refill. When our entrees arrived the plates were hot and food cold as if there was a half hearted attempt to reheat our food. Also as we sat we noticed all the parties sat close to the time we were seated were already gone. Safe to say I'm embarrassed I chose this spot to celebrate my mother and I would not recommend anyone to come here. read more

I like the bread they serve in the beginning Our waiter attends school he seems like he was in space land he took forever to bring items we I think he had to make the ice for our water and took forever to bake the garlic bread we asked for the crab artichoke sampler w/ teriyaki and coconut shrimp he only brought the crab artichoke dip sooo frustrating They didn't have the first thing I ordered so I had to order what I didn't want fish and chips I had a cocktail that I've had several times before it was excellent prickly pear jalapeño margarita mmm although the bartender didn't add all the fixings it was good I complained about nothing since I've been here several times before read more

We were celebrating a special day and decided on Horatio's because we hadn't been in years and it once had a nice view. We were seated immediately and assigned a waiter who introduced him self and took our drink and food orders. That was literally the last time he came to our table From that point forward we never saw our waiter again. A manager came and introduced herself walking around with black gloves she had on in the kitchen I just saw her in on our way in. We had to inquire about our order to the second manager that came over. By that time we had been waiting over thirty minutes for our food. The food finally came and it was just ok. We had the fish and chips platter, pasta with shrimp and crab, hamburger and crab artichoke dip. There was no crab in the artichoke dip. They could be so much better if they hired more wait staff. Our assigned waiter was given a party of 15 people that were seated in another section across from us. Read the reviews ? I did and still made the mistake of going . read more

Decided to take advantage of the awesome happy hour. Sat at the bar as it was pretty busy for a beautiful warm Thursday afternoon. As soon as I sat, Shannon greeted and welcomed me. Handed the menus and gave me a moment to scan the menus. I had already made my mind and told her what I would like. Serve my drink and appetizer, she would periodically check on me and I appreciate it that. Kudos to Shannon read more

This was our first time eating at Horatio's and it didn't disappoint! We have always driven by this place when we go to the marina but never stop in. We went on February 12 for an early Valentines dinner and chose to get their Valentines Special dinner. The special dinner was $130 for two people and included 3 courses. Our waitress Maria was very nice! I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, they played good music choices and very clean. First Course: The warm bread with garlic butter is delicious and is the perfect shareable size. I had the Pointe Reyes Blue Cheese Salad and the toppings and dressing was amazing! My husband got the Romaine Caesar and it was very good also, I am just a blue cheese fan! Second Course: I got the filet and shrimp, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. My steak was cooked perfectly...very juicy and tender on the inside and char on the outside. I loved that it was not over seasoned or salty... it had such a great flavor I didn't need to add anything else to it. The shrimp was seasoned nicely, the mashed potatoes tasted perfect and were very creamy, and the asparagus was very tender. My husband got the prime rib and it was delicious. I really enjoyed the creamy horseradish sauce it came with. Third Course: I got the crème brûlée and was so creamy and just delicious, loved the fruit on top! I stole a bite of my husband's chocolate dessert and it was perfect... very moist and chocolaty! Overall, I highly recommend Horatio's and give the food a 10/10! Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly and great portion sizes. We definitely need to come to try more menu items and see the bay in the daytime! read more

Inconsistent preparation of food. Valentines 2026 it was superb. The ambience was great . The food prepared exactly as requested and the flavors were extraordinary . The service was outstanding, even though it was very busy. April 24 a month and a half later. Ordered the same exact thing not even close. We were so disappointed in the food and the service was just ok. Had to ask for things twice , overcharged for the captains meal by $4.00 and we were offered for the dessert to be to go then charged an additional to go fee $ .81. That was not disclosed. It was offered like she didn't want to wait for us to eat dessert. Didn't realize the extra charges till we got home. It's a shame it's not consistent and also that you have to double check your bill even though it's a few extra dollars. We were so looking forward to it since it was our wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, we will not recommend or go back. read more

Location- this is by the water and near another restaurant and hotel. Lots of free parking all around so there shouldn't be an issue. Food- I've been dying for this crab pasta and let me tell you.. THE FLAVOR IS FLAVORING it's got a tiny kick but the crab is fresh and cheesy! Sparkling water was the best match to it but wine is great too. The steak was cooked exactly how I like it. This place is a must because it's got it all. The server was extremely helpful and kind. Cracked a few jokes but the staff is amazing! Definitely would come back here again. They got me now read more

I had a wonderful experience at Horatio's this Easter Sunday. Chef Cameron , the head chef, went above and beyond to accommodate my dietary needs. He personally came out to introduce himself, handled my requests with professionalism, and made sure my meal was prepared thoughtfully. His kindness and genuine care for customers truly stood out--I really appreciated it as a regular guest. Our server, Cydney was polite, attentive, and throughout our visit. She helped make the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Thanks to both of them, Easter Sunday with my mother was especially pleasant and memorable. I'm very grateful for the excellent service and care! I would like to also give 5 stars to my server, Alan in the past . Although the wait for our food was a bit long, he went above and beyond to accommodate us. They had run out of eggs for my Eggs Benedict, yet he remained attentive, polite, and understanding of my dietary restrictions. read more

This is one of the prettiest restaurants I have been to. The view as the sun was setting was out of this world. All of the food we tried was quality including the sampler, Cesar salad, and the fettuccine. The only downside at the time was the waiting. It took our food about an hour to come out with little to no check ins and we got so hungry. Luckily the complimentary bread was able to keep us occupied for a bit but other than that it's worth a visit! read more

We have been here no a few times and I have to say it is on the list. It's closer by but out of town. Need to meander through San Leandro neighborhoods to get there. The drinks, food and service are all great. I guess it's been here for close to forever and not sure how many people know about it unless they live close by. It does seem to have alot of regulars. A great view of an empty marina due to I think a bankruptcy and legal issues but hey, still on the water. The other perk is watching the planes coming in to Oakland, low and slow. We have only sat in the bar area but they have a massive dinnig room also. Overall a very nice place to hang out with a very chill ambiance to escape the daily crap. read more

Made reservation but they were not ready to seat us until 15 minutes after reservation. And we intentionally did early dinner time slot. So my advice is to plan accordingly and just show up early for an earlier reservation time since they may not provide you your table at the appointed reservation time. Food was a mix bag. The slow roasted herb crusted ribeye was delicious - had it cooked medium rare. But the seafood trio was a no go - taste was mediocre. We ordered kids a pasta and a fish and chip. I would say it's kind of a joke - pasta was cooked on the mushy side and too salty, while the fried battered fish seemed like those frozen ones pumped with water (it had that slight spongy and watery texture that my kids didn't eat it after the first bite). Service was poor. Server had to be reminded multiple times just to bring either a coloring sheet for the kids, or for some napkins. The evening that we went seemed to be on the average loud side and since we were seated at the corner upon entry to the lower dining space, it was a constant buzz - one would have thought being in such a spot there would be greater service but nope. Overall a disappointing experience considering the $$$ paid for a meal there. Only thing that made it tolerable was the view. read more

I strongly advise against eating here. The staff was rude and told us to leave just because we were standing in the hallway talking to family we hadn't seen in years.

Have been patronizing Horatio's for decades now and will continue to keep going! It's a hidden gem in the east bay, a seafood / steak spot everyone needs to try. They have a food menu, full bar and epic maritime decor inside. I always would do the ole steak & lobster, also scallops. One of my favorites, for my birthday & other special occasions - is their crème brûlée. Such a damn good dessert. Excellent restaurant, has been around for an eternity & we definitely hope it sticks around. read more

It had been many years since our last time at Horatio's. It was nice to see it still in business despite the deteriorating state of the San Leandro marina. We remembered the clam chowder was good so we started off with that. It was good, but not great. The fish and chips were merely okay. It's unlikely that we'll be returning to Horatio's anytime soon. read more

It was okay, I thought the food would be better and it was okay. We got clam chowder, Cesar, steak and seafood pasta.

Went and dinner with my sister . We were sat immediately as walk -ins . It was pretty busy and such a beautiful Sunday afternoon. We sat and was greeted by our server ( can't re call his name ?!) he took our drink orders and I ordered a cup of clam chowder and a prickly pair Margarita My sister ordered a non alcoholic ginger drink both delicious. We ordered our entrees we both ordered the shrimp & crab fettuccine , so delicious my only wants were a bit more pasta and black pepper . Over all great meal , great drinks with great company will be back very soon ! read more

Always a pleasure coming here! Bartenders and servers are always friendly and attentive.

Enjoyed a quiet weeknight dinner with a table in the main dining room with a lovely view and had a delicious meal! Wanted to try different options so started with a Caesar salad, I usually get the blue cheese salad. Also tried the shrimp appetizer special which had a Latin flair featuring strawberry and mango salsa and a slightly spicy sauce. It also had an avocado sauce and tortilla strips for texture. It was fun to switch it up from the coconut shrimp. Our mains were Pan Seared Salmon with black risotto rice and roasted carrots and the classic Chicken Dijon with mash potatoes and sautéed spinach. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the tasty tangerine beurre blanc added a freshness and brightness. The food was delicious and we appreciate the consistency with the food here. Service was a bit slow but for a weekday night it was okay and we leaned in to enjoy a slower pace. Ended with the Key Lime Pie which is always a real treat. Will definitely be back! read more

Back in the day, this was my favorite 5 star restaurant with the Restaurants Unlimited brand because it was the most convenient. Kincaids in Jack London Square had the best menu. So it saddens me writing this review and I am probably still being generous with its rating. Quality/Quantity - Today we came for Happy Hour and got the following: Complimentary Bread - This is not automatic any more, you have to ask (in this case, ask twice...) Not as good as it was in the past. I remember I was able to eat like two loaves of this bread in the past. Today we each only ate a slice. HH Crab & Artichoke Tots - My daughter really likes this. I gave her my share. I could not taste the crab, but it did have generous slivers of artichokes HH Crispy Calamari - My favorite of the dishes, so good I ordered a second one. The second dish was even more generous in portions. I liked the combination of squid and artichokes. Am I sensing a theme tonight? HH Prime Rib Sliders - Generous meat, thank you. But the quality was just okay and the flavors were just okay. Definitely needed the Au Jus sauce. And to wash it all down: Hen House Stoked IPA. Hen House Incredible Pale Ale. Exotic Mojito - My daughter's choice, made well and strong. Atmosphere - Decent size. Actually the bar and lounge area is huge! The dining area is fairly large also, see pictures. Service - This is where they suffered the most. Our waiter could not handle his 5 tables. Service was amazingly slow. We had to flag him down several times for service. Sales would have been higher if he came more often as we were going to eat dinner here also... I also had to order my second beer early as I did not want to have to wait. He also forgot some of our requests. The silverware was not clean (water spots all over), we cleaned them ourselves as we did NOT want to wait while our food got cold. Lastly he must have either gotten off work or gone on break...? As a new waitress came later and she was just as slow... Even had to wait to pay and leave. Price - $58 + tip. Expensive for what we got. I guess people are paying for the "atmosphere" here which is less important to us locals. Owner Comment - Congrats on Landry's success since 1980. Horatio's has been part of the Landry's Family since September of 2019, who now own 600+ restaurants in 36 states and 15 countries, mostly upscale waterfront restaurants. I remember when Horatio's were more of a local small owner business under the Restaurants Unlimited Umbrella. We used to frequent Skates, Kincaids, and Horatios. Kincaids (now closed) was our favorite of the 3 as they had the best kids' menu. But we used to go to Skates on Thursdays as they had the best Thursday Happy Hour. And all the other days we came to Horatio's. read more

B day Brunch. Host greeted us and sat us by the window next large family table with children. It was fine we were happy. Server David was attentive and provided guidance on menu items. And theircreative cocktail menu. I had the steak entree and asked for a glass of wine which David brought two options to taste,this was helpful so I would not be disapointed. Mom & Bro enjoyed their entrees. Dessert was ordered mom chose a good one...server packed our food which was unexpected, and David brought me a birthday dessert which was again unexpected. The whole experience was one which was very nice. We've been to Horatio's many times over the years, and they still continue to deliver great service, the view is beautiful, dishes that continue to satisfy us.

We booked a private event here last year for a party under 25 people total and had amazing service with Alexis and with the team on the actual event for a farewell party for our boss. Having such good experience here before we decided to meet up here for brunch with some coworkers again and service was great. They have a box lunch special for $25 which includes soup or salad and an entree which was nice. Three of us chose the box lunch special and the shrimp scampi was super. We got the calamari and artichoke appetizer to share and that was tasty too. My clam chowder was yummy and full of clams in my serving. Would definitely come again for the box lunch special or dinner to do prime rib and this is definitely the spot with a nice view and ambience to be at. read more

"San Francisco dining and Experience" here in the East bay. My wife and I have been dining here for our "special occasions" and almost special occasions for more than fifteen years. Wait staff has never failed in their prescribed duties. Friendly, prompt and if somewhat overwhelmed, always double check with their customers. The head chef is available as time permits. Our food has always remained consistent in its sourcing, preparation and service. We have dined at this store with just two, and as many as eight. Each time we have been pleased. In my opinion ambiance, service and food prep of this establishment is par with any in the greater Bay Area. As a trained Chef, my recommendation is "Try them, you will like them". Enjoy. read more

Was here for company year end celebrations and service request for veggies options seemed unusual here. The servers also didn't know what was low carbs but didn't ask or clarify. Also made something totally different from what they told me they could make. Pretty bad experience for me, but I think it was fine for everyone else who was on a fixed menu. They had 3 courses and the kitchen didn't bother to make me 3 courses. I just got one dish. Laughable service. Been to many steakhouses for business and this is the worse service and most mediocre veggie food. read more

My fiancé introduced me to Horatio's, and I can honestly say without a doubt... I am a fan of this place! We made reservations for NYE, and we were seated right away. First, our server Esther was wonderful. She was very attentive. Our food came out so quickly too. They only had their holiday menu, which was actually a good deal. For $60-65 per person, you get your choice of soup or salad, main entree, and dessert. Dishes: 1) Warm brie with macadamia nut crust 2) Lobster bisque 3) Clam chowder 4) Almond crusted sea scallops 5) Prime rib 6) Creme brulee 7) Cheesecake Drinks: 1) Lychee lime soda 2) Amalfi stroll Overall, everything was delicious but the cheesecake for me was a miss. It was way too sweet for my liking. My fiancé's 16 oz prime rib was literally the perfect cut. Not very fatty at all! Their complimentary garlic bread is also so tasty. There is plenty of parking here which is a plus! read more

Came here for my friends birthday. I had the Shrimp and Crab Fettuccini and what I loved about it was that it had chili flakes which gave it that slight spice kick to it which I loved. Also another plus to it was that, there was a lot of shrimp. Normally dishes like this have maybe 3 or 4 pieces of shrimp. I believe this dish had 5 nice size pieces of shrimp. Their complementary bread was also very delicious. I would like to say it had parmesan on top. We had to try our best not to get full with just their bread. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes and I don't think anyone had any issues. Only issue was that the salmon was slightly on the dry side but lemon and the sauce from my pasta helped it with flavor. They were pretty busy and the service was not bad at all. We did have to wave down our server from time to time, but they were right on their feet and got whatever we had asked for. We never had to wait long to be served. I get it, they were busy with a lot of tables but even just being a little more attentive to your tables will help. We wanted to ask for more bread, but it took a while for our water refills that we did not want to bother them or wait to long. Someone does need to check on the bathrooms more often because the stall I went into did not have toilet paper. That is about it. read more
