Best restaurants near me in San Leandro, CA

I loved the gluten-free, caraway crackers, which are very crisp and thin with great flavor. We were impressed with the mushroom and hemp seed paté with rice crackers. The short ribs were the best part of the meal for me. I don’t remember last time, but this time the galangal pork strips seemed a bit dry. Maybe too lean. I only had a little bit of the pork belly, the leaner part. It seemed overdone this time around, or maybe I should’ve had a fattier piece. I remember loving the pork belly last time, so I would try those again. The small plates are really unique and fun. I’ll come back to keep trying things! This was our 3rd visit.

Very nice experience! We were seated pretty quickly and our server/bartender did an excellent job keeping up with our orders and even though he had two jobs (maybe they were short that night), he was as attentive and friendly as he could be, and the margaritas were excellent!

2nd time to Horatio's this year, Thanksgiving and now Christmas Day. The Holiday menu was extensive and all items tried each meal were very good to outstanding. On Christmas Day, our dinner server was Chad and he was exemplary in his attention to our meal. The restaurant was full and he had a large number of tables to serve from what we could could see. However, from bread and drinks to desert, he hardly missed a beat. Our previous Thanksgiving dinner was also excellent and the sever was very good as well. On this occasion, my wife had Seafood Pasta and I had Sea Bass stuffed with crab, also excellent. Try the key lime pie for desert if they have it, outstanding. We plan to go back soon for lunch or dinner. Plenty of parking with easy access from the freeway 5 minutes away. GN Alameda, CA

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by hostess and immediately seated. Server promptly greeted us and we were able to get our beverages and start our trips to the buffet. Wonderful selection and churro pancakes suggested by the server completed our experience.

The food here is always amazing! I neglected to consider that it is during the holidays, so they were a lot busier than I expected. Therefore, I think our waitress may have been a little overwhelmed, so she didn't check in on us as timely as I would have liked. The temperature in the restaurant was also a little too warm for me. I would always recommend this restaurant because of the amazing food!
