Tasting Sampler
Jae D.

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!

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

Inside

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!

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.

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.

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

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 .

Visited Horatio's with my brother to make use of a gift card. Just like the old days, their happy hour remains one of the best, classic and always worth it.

The aftermath
Azteca L.

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

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!

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

Nice Martini glasses. Lemon Drop to the left and Impresso Martini to the right. Can't tell looking at the from the side.

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.

Is this a good spot for a social occasion, like a birthday? Would you choose this over paradiso?

Smack Burgers is one of our favorite places to get smash burgers in the area! We've been back many…read moretimes and they never disappoint. Their smash burgers are juicy, fresh, and flavorful. When I'm craving a smash burger, this is the spot! Their tallow fries are also really good and crispy; I've never had fries fried in tallow before and it's a game changer! I've tried the banana pudding shake and it's one of the best I've had; t doesn't taste artificial at all! I really wanted to come back to try their breakfast burritos, which I've heard is the best in the bay?! Ugh, but I live too far to come grab breakfast in the morning haha. The owners are also very friendly and humble. They started out selling at home and have opened up this location in their hometown along with a location in SoCal. They're always taking care of their community and giving away food to those in need. I've met them once when they were doing a giveaway and after speaking to "The Smack Man", you can clearly tell that they have mad love for their community and wanting to give back to others. The food is great here and the people running this spot have a lot of heart. Definitely proud to be supporting a local business like this!

My husband and I finally had the chance to try this spot. We went in around 9:30am. It was pretty…read morebusy. Located in a plaza and plenty of parking. Friendly staff. We ordered their breakfast burrito with avocado, bacon, and jalapeno sauce. Also, the Smackin' tots. The breakfast burrito and tots were pretty much the same ingredients. The difference is if you prefer a tortilla or without. It's pretty heavy. The burrito was cut in half and I ate half of one. Very filling. I'm looking forward to trying their other items on their menu.

Not a lot of taco spots are open late at 10p but I saw that PNT was open. My family and I pulled into the driveway and were confused because it looked and sounded like a bar. There were a few people standing outside and I asked if this was a bar or restaurant and the gentleman said it's a restaurant. We walk in and got some stares because it was late and we had kids. Didn't matter to us. Everything on the menu sounded delish and they had al day breakfast items. We ended up going with the following: 1. Chicken sandwich- 10/10 my teen loved this. It was a crispy thinly sliced chicken breast with all the fixings, and pressed to perfection. 2. Chicken Caesar salad - 10/10 the lettuce was Romain, tossed in Caesar dressing and parm, with grilled chicken filet. 3. 4 tacos de asada - 10/10 yummy chopped steak, seasoned and grilled to perfection. I'm not sure if the evening chef cooks better or maybe we were starving, but the food was great! Ambience at the time was pretty loud but I figure it's because people hanging out in the bar area. Definitely will be back.

Great spot for tacos. I've had their asada, pastor, and lingua. Highly recommend them all! Quick…read moreservice. Good for family and friend get togethers. They share a space with the bar for adult beverages.
