The spinach, artichoke and crab dip is good service and good drinks as well. Great spot on the Marina.

Still love it! We were lucky enough to visit Horatio's during restaurant week. what a great treat! We had everything. I started with the clam chowder, which was exceptional! The Broadway Pea Salad was something different and tasty. On to the second course, we did the Herb Crusted Prime Rib and Grilled Shrimp Scampi. Both were excellent! Then the third course, dessert! We tried the Creme Brulee, Key Lime Pie and a Molten Cake. Yum, yum and yum! I enjoyed this meal more than any other in a long time! Oh, and the Crab Artichoke dip is the best I've had anywhere and is a must have with every visit! read more

Very good food. And the chef came out to say thank you and sorry it's taking a little longer. Wow never had anyone explain it's taking long. I didnt feel like it was taking longer it was busy in there. Every one. Was nice I should stop in more often 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

The Sampler was good ! Totally different from what it was way back in the day. Served on a platter now, not a tower! Beef Tips on a bed of sticky rice, coconut prawns, crab, and artichoke dip! Good. Not served with focaccia bread anymore. If preferred , you must request it. The drinks were awesome! Service was good! read more

Needed to have seafood for my birthday but was tired of the same old places. My mom found this on a quick google search and we decided to give them a shot. For a party of 8 on a Sunday afternoon they sat us fairly quickly. It was definitely packed with graduation parties and retirement celebrations but had enough space to host us all. Our server came out quickly (before our entire party arrived) and brought out waters while we waited. Once everyone sat down we got garlic bread that was DELICIOUS, maybe I was hungry but it tasted soooo good. We got the kids orders going and got the Tasting Sampler as a starter. The sampler was amazing, the Roasted Crab artichoke dip was the best I've ever had. My husband could have had a bucket of their Teriyaki tenderloins and rice. Last you can never go wrong with coconut shrimp. For entrees, we had the Shrimp Scampi, Chophouse burger, 2 kids burgers, and Cajun Chicken Fettuccine. I can only speak for the Shrimp Scampi but everything was delicious according to my family. The shrimp scampi was very well seasoned and surprisingly filling. The only complaint I had and the only reason this review is a 4 star was the slow service. I understand it was a busy Sunday lunch but it took an hour to get our food out and we barely saw or server in that time. I will definitely give them a try again and hopefully we have a better service experience. All and all 8/10 would recommend. 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.

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

Service was really good. Good energy from the concierge to our server and the other support staff clearing tables and bringing water everyone was smiling and welcoming nice young people moving around in comparison in my past visit there have been a much older crowd working tables at this establishment and I have been coming to here for many years. Today, we are celebrating Administrative Professionals Day me and my team and there was a special menu for this occasion which I thought was awesome and very considerate of the establishment. I had the open face crab salad as my main course everyone else had the crab and shrimp fettuccine we also got a first course of a soup or salad in which two of us had the blue cheese salad and the other three had clam chowder. The fettuccine seemed to be a hit as well as the Clam Chowder. I thoroughly enjoyed my salad and then we also went in for key lime pie dessert it was a huge piece so we shared a couple of pieces amongst the group overall it was the food was really good service was really good I think they could do some upgrades to the atmosphere in the restaurant cuz it's looks the same as it always has for like the last 20 years of me eating here but nevertheless I am happy they are keeping people interested in dining there. 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. David and staff thank you for a very nice time. read more

Best restaurant in the San Leandro Marina! The food and service are both amazing! Our server Angela was so sweet and accommodating and knew the menu well to help us make our entree selections. Everything on the menu is solid and delicious! The chefs love to cook and take pride in the dishes they serve. The restaurant reminds you of an old ship and has a cool laidback vibe. It's causal but also nice enough for a special occasion or date night. Perfect for large parties and meetings as well. They have a great happy hour menu from M-F. I have been eating here for a long time and every time I come I leave happy and say why don't I eat here more often! We came to celebrate my parent's wedding anniversary and the staff treated us so well. When you go ask for Angela as your server and I know you'll have a wonderful time! ‍ read more

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

Came here a few days for an early lunch. We were seated fairly quickly by the staff. The restaurant had a nice view of the ocean and the incoming and outgoing planes from Oakland airport. We ordered our drinks and it took while for them to arrive at the table. The business didn't seem to be that busy. That was a bit of a turn off for me off the get go. But then the service started to pick up. They delivered hot fresh garlic bread to the table. That bread was flavorful warm and soft. We ordered two of those that were complimentary. I ordered the Asiago crusted sole. This was a great dish and everything tasted really good. The fish was moist and the crust had a nice crunch and wasn't soggy. It was served with a side a rice and veggies. I would've preferred mashed potatoes over the rice. The rice was a bit dry. We also ordered calamari for the table. I loved that this was a mix of veggies as well such as artichokes. It was a nice combination. The others ordered the fettuccini and fish tacos. They said it was pretty good as well. Other than the service in the beginning, it turned out to be a good experience. read more

My wife and I always sneak away to Horatio's every now and again by ourselves, sometimes we take our kids, or sometimes, we go with our big extended family during the holidays. We are coming from the Tri-valley, so sometimes we like to go for dinner because it's 80-90* at home, but 60's by the bay at Horatio's for a nice cool down and nice sunset view from the restaurant. The food is good - I almost always order the chart house burger, clam chowder, and a house salad, or if it's a holiday, the holiday offering. I always enjoy the burger, but what we enjoy more than that, are the people. Our servers are always nice. The place is always clean. The manager Dennis always recognizes my wife and I, will come by if he can to say hello, or if he's super busy, acknowledges us with a friendly wave. Our last visit to Horatio's, we ran into an issue with some Landry's rewards and gift cards. Not sure what happened, but Dennis got it all straightened out and got us squared away. The previous manager Bill was the same. That tells me that the people they staff have to fit a certain standard for customer care, friendliness, and a welcoming and warming demeanor and that's probably one of the biggest things that keep us coming back. Thank you Dennis and staff for always giving us enjoyable meals and enjoyable visits. read more

I would give this restaurant a 3.5/5. Came here on a first date. The ambiance is really nice. It is on the marina so its super cute and has a romantic-ness to it with the dim lights and theme. The dining area is open and you can see the bar from wherever you sit. There is also lots of parking outside as they have their own parking lot. The service was great. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we had we needed. She also provided recommendations for food. She brought out bread. It was super chewy. There wasn't a lot of flavor to it, but it was okay. We also ordered drinks. I got the mojito and my date got the margarita. I loved the mojito. It was fruity and sweet with a little kick to it. The margarita was good too, it had a much stronger kick to it and was not as fruity but still very good. For food, we started off with an appetizer. We shared the spicy seared teriyaki beef tidbits. The chef brought it out to us. The presentation was really nice, but the overall taste, it was super salty! It was overly salty. Both me and my date felt that way and there was nothing that made it better. We did not send it back or say anything as we tried to eat it. Had it not been so salty, it would have been much better. This menu item had great potential but the saltiness really made it hard to give it a fair review. For my entree, I got the Crab and Shrimp Fettuccine, and he got the American Wagyu Sirloin. I loved the crab and shrimp fettuccine. There was either crab or shrimp in every bite. The flavor was really good and it was so creamy. I highly recommend. My date got the Wagyu sirloin and he liked it. He got double mashed potatoes because he did not want the vegetables that came with it. He enjoyed his meal too. Overall, the experience was nice. We were a little bummed because the bar closed and we weren't able to order another drink. We stayed at the restaurant beyond closing. The restaurant closed at 9PM and we were able to stay an hour past closing until 10PM. Eventually, the manager had to come and kick us out lol but it was all good. We definitely overstayed. It was a cute place with good drinks and decent food. read more

Ordered Filet Mignon with mashed potatos. Took 2 bites of the steak, then one of mashed potatos before noticing a hair in my potatos. I accepted an offer to have my meal replaced. My wife continued her meal, of course. She finished before mine was ready, so I told them to just make mine to-go. Got home, opened the box to find a steak less than 1-inch thick! I am skeptical it is even a Filet, as I don't think they come that thin. This place used to be a good one. No more. read more

This was our first time coming here and we had been wanting to come for awhile but was waiting for a special occasion. We celebrated my mother's birthday here and the experience was amazing. There was plenty of parking in the parking lot, the view was so beautiful, the staff were super friendly and the food and drinks did not disappoint at all. Our waiter was Klara and she was extremely sweet and attentive to all of our requests. We will definitely be coming back soon, thank you! read more

There's much to like about Horatio's. The open dining area with the great views of the Marina. Nice bar area for drinks. Lots of parking available. But that's where it ends for me. My experience both with service and food was below standard. Especially considering the prices for the food. So let's start with what is always most important, the food: Chophouse burger: this was a very plain cheese burger with stale bread. The regular ingredients like lettuce, tomato, and a side of fries. It. Was. Not. Good. And how do you grade a $17 burger when an In-N-Out burger or burgers for 2/3's the price are way better. This is a case where I'm paying for the view of the water. All the food I saw my friends order as well as other tables looked drab and drearily made. The service was slow. Honestly I don't know how this place stays afloat. With the food and service, this restaurant should've sunken into the Marina a long time ago. Needless to say I won't be back. Too expensive for mediocre food and poor service. read more

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

I went here for a work holiday party. The ambience is pretty nice. The place itself is old, but it's by the waterfront so I feel like at night is probably a lot better. The complimentary bread was okay, it was pretty dry and although it had some butter concoction on it didn't help at all. I had the clam chowder as an appetizer and it was very very salty. It did had a good amount of clams in it though. For entrée I had the Chicken Dijon, the dish was all in all good but the mashed potatoes were okay didn't taste very smooth, The chicken was cooked very well. For dessert I had the flourless chocolate cake and it was delicious and decadent. The menu was a bit restricted for our holiday party so I want to go try more items on the menu, all in all good experience. read more

If I return there someday and she does it again I will walk her over to the manager and FORMALLY complain!!! read more

The best food and service in San Leandro. Beautiful view and decor. Very romantic. The Happy Hour dishes are really good.

Went in for a birthday dinner last night and it was such a pleasant experience, big shout out to our server Chad if I'm not mistaken, he was very warm, friendly, and informative. Thank you for taking great care of us. We started off with cocktails the peach side car & a dirty martini & the shrimp cocktail. Drinks were great & I absolutely loved the cocktail sauce because it wasn't sweet it had a nice horseradish bite to it which I appreciate. Main course for myself was the American Wagyu Sirlon which was flavorful & cooked to perfection, mash potato's were great and I am extremely picky about them. I thought for the price it was a great deal and partner got fish & chips. I would like to point out that it was very nice of them to let us sample some of the red wines I was looking for a nice Cabernet to compliment the steak & Chad went above and beyond when it came to picking out a few he suggested it really stood out to me the service he provided which made it such a pleasant dining experience, I've been a server for a long time so I feel it's always important to point out when a server goes above and beyond. Thank you again. Crème brûlée top tier decadent and creamy could taste the vanilla bean. Def will be back. Over all for 2 people we ordered 2 cocktails each , shrimp cocktail, fish & chips + American wagyu the total was $150 which I didn't think was too bad. Ambiance is casual yet classy, which makes it comfortable for anyone to dine, hope this helps anyone looking into dinner! read more

My first time at Horatio's was a great experience. I enjoyed the nautical theme of the restaurant design and had a great window table overlooking the docks and bay. The food and service were outstanding. Tennille was our server and she was attentive, friendly and very helpful with the food recommendations. There were so many good things to choose from between the brunch and lunch menus, that we had a hard time narrowing down what to try first. Tennille didn't disappoint, because the Salmon BLTA she recommended was the best that I've ever had. So good, that we will go back next weekend just to have it again and enjoy a great dining experience. read more

So this was my second visit to Horatio's! The first time it was great. So great I had to bring my husband back! Now this second time it was stinking outstanding! I got the shrimp scampi I didn't take a photo because there are sooooo many of them on Yelp already but there was none of my husbands dish! He got the Grilled mahi mahi which was really good. Light and fluffy fish with an array of veggies like cauliflower and some sort of corn purée. He said it was really good and enjoyed every bite. This time I did order the lobster bisque which in all honesty was the best lobster bisque soup I ever had! Dip the complimentary bread they give you with that bomb butter garlic and I tell you your in for a real treat! The service is always pretty decent I do think for the establishment it could be better but the food is so good you can ignore it. The ambiance is super chill and I like how you can dress up in the evening or go for a nice dressed down lunch. All in all I love this place and will be back again soon! read more

We have been to Horatio's several times over the years and have generally enjoyed our visits there, but this last visit was terrible. We were there with a large group (22 people) and I understand that when you attend a restaurant with a large group one must be patient, but this was ridiculous. We were seated quickly and ordered drinks and appetizers. The drinks came out sporatically and we had to ask multiple times for water. TWO HOURS later they took our meal order and another hour after that the food finally came out - again sporatically. One end of the table got their food and 20 minutes later most of the rest of the table got their food, but the person sitting next to me didn't get hers for yet another 20 minutes after that. They didn't tell us about any specials. We asked about prime rib and they said they had it, but then came back 15 minutes later to tell us there was no prime rib. They also ran out of clam chowder. The food was OK, but came out looking dry and unappetizing. My plating at home looks better. We didn't order dessert because we'd already been there for 3 1/2 hours! There was no aknowledgement or apology for the terrible service. We spent A LOT of money there that night, but none of us will be returning. read more

We had been led to believe this was a really nice restaurant. But when we showed up on a Sunday evening, we were not impressed at all. We had reservations, but it took a 5 minute conference among three people at the hostess counter to seat us. We were never quite sure who among them was the actual host as we weren't told what the hold up was or what the discussion was about. The server Maria was great, she was quick, responsive, and came by our table regularly to make sure we were ok. But the cocktails were not as described, apparently they were out of lavender dust, so there was a very sloppy, runny sugar rim on one of the cocktails, the other was served half empty. The coconut shrimp appetizer was advertised as being served with crispy noodles, but arrived without. When we asked Maria about that, she ran to the kitchen and brought us some. The almond crusted scallops were served with room temp buttered mashed potatoes which had hardened to a rock in the middle of the plate. The Fisherman's Platter, which was supposed to be a mix of beer battered, tempura, and almond crusted seafood arrived all deep fried in beer batter The view was beautiful, the food edible, the server fantastic. If it hadn't been for Maria, this place would have gotten another star less. But no means would I call it a great restaurant. It felt like a slightly upscale Denny's with cocktails and marine theme. I would not bring a date here, nor will I be returning. read more
