   Well, first of all, my party got confused about the reservation time. It was for four at 1:30p. They heard 4:00 and that's it. No problem. The host was great and held me another table while I went shopping to kill the time. My guests showed up at 4:00 with another friend. So, now we're five. Again, no problem, we were seated at a lovely table. Angela was our server and just like the wonderful host, she was fantastic. Very patient with us. A crazy table. Three of us had the scampi, which I always get. The huge shrimp are always perfectly prepared. Grilled, but still very tender. But, the real treat are the mashed potatoes. Really creamy and buttery with fried capers. So, delicious! Of course the venue is beautiful. I love to watch the bay and the feral kitties who live nearby. Yep, I keep coming back.

   A perfect place for brunch! Get there when they open and it’s great. After noon it becomes busy. Great service, fantastic views and pricing that matches any good restaurant

   The calamari appetizer ($18)was very dried out. The only edible part being the artichoke. The shrimp scampi ($24)was also dry. 6 dry tasteless small pieces of shrimp with no sauce, stuck into garlic mashed potatoes with 4 small asparagus spears. The best part was the mashed potatoes. Sad. Ambiance and service were excellent.

   Horatio’s has gone downhill recently. Our drinks took a long time to be delivered. The oysters,@$23 , were petite. Not worth the price. The prime rib, ordered med rare, came medium. The cuts were un even and thus cooked unevenly. The wine was good. But did not come out in a timely manner. The most annoying thing of the evening was that the music was so loud that it was impossible to have a conversation. After requesting that they turn the “music “ down, twice. They finally turned it down to a somewhat reasonable level. We probably won’t go back.

   Waited for a table even with a reservation. Then had to flag down a waiter for service. Food mediocre. Portions small. Every once in a while I give this place another try. Continues to disappoint. I never learn.

    This was a beautiful Easter Day on the Bay. We were seated outside and away from the music and bar. There are plexiglass walls blocking the breezes but able to look out over the water. Menu was delicious. One thing noted on the bill was the extra dollar added for the "optional" flavor when ordering a mimosa. One person got the standard with orange juice and the other two people ordered the recommended blueberry and strawberry flavored. We were not told it was an extra charge. Otherwise dinner and desserts, excellent. Service was amazing thanks for Shawn and Laura.
