    We had such an amazing time! We ordered the Dinner Party Menu, and it was a perfect mix of everything. All of the food was absolutely delicious, and we scraped every single plate. We also really enjoyed sitting at the bar, and Anthony, the bartender made us some fantastic drinks based on our preferences and what we were eating,

    My wife and I have been to Horatio's several times recently. All meals were for one of the Holidays. Xmas, New Years and Valentines Day. We went back because the reservations and seating, meal service and food were very good to outstanding, consistently. This visit, out server was Eric who was, like previous meals, friendly and efficient eve with a holiday crowd. Food was tasty and more than ample. The Holiday "for two" , menu choices were well thought out. We will continue to visit Horatio's, next time for a non-holiday meal. GN Alameda., CA
