    Horatio's is truly fantastic in every way, a destination that, like me, will have you wondering how on earth you had not discovered it earlier. - Outstanding delicious and really big plate servings, with many menu option. - service is excellent with caring very attentive, cheerful staff. - the restaurant is a beautiful design from the past with nautical influences. - location is really fantastic. It's San Leandro by the Bay beside a really beautiful big park and incredibly enjoyable long walking paths by the water. Horatio's is the absolute best restaurant l've enjoyed in every way possible πŸ˜‹πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸ«ΆπŸ€²πŸ€πŸ™

    Long rant... I had dinner at this location recently, and was displeased with the food and service. I've eaten here several times, and the food has been wonderful, and I know the staff works hard. This particular evening, as we were seated, the waiter came to our table to greet us, but he must've been overwhelmed, because he was rushing the conversation. First he explained only one to specialty, and he left to go wait on another table. He came back to see if we wanted any drinks and appetizers, we had asked for bread and glasses of water for the moment as we were considering our order. He came back with two glasses of water, and slammed them on the table and left to wait on another table behind us. When he finally came back to our table, we were ready to order, and, I had a question. He seemed very impatient, but we went ahead and ordered. I ordered the Grilled Seafood Trio, and my guest ordered Almond Crusted Sea Scallops. We ordered drinks as well, and when he returned with our drinks, again, he slammed them on the table and left. He finally brought out our food, mine was first, and then he went to get my guest's plate. While we were waiting, I looked at the portion size of the food on my plate, and looked at my guest. Finally, her plate came out, and she asked him about the advertised asparagus that came with the meal, what the menu didn't say, was that it was the tip of the top of the asparagus. She questioned them about the asparagus, and he went to bring her fuller asparagus. When I questioned the portion of the food on my plate, he could not accommodate anything. He then called the manager, who in turn said, that this is the correct portion. I've had this meal before, and it was not like this. My meal received for this visit, is in the attached picture. So, has the price of food increased that much, and the portions shrunk. Oh, BTW, we had to ask the waiter for our bread. When we complained about the waiter and the food, the waiter came back to our table and apologized for his manners, and then left. I will come back here again, I just be won't order this meal again. 😟
