Comments on Horatio's in San Leandro??

I  used to keep my boat moored at the marina right in front  of (or behind, however you look at it) Horatios. (In fact, I fell off my boat right in front of their plate glass windows during lunch one day.  Looked up and saw about a hundred folks standing there, taking it all in.  No one came out to help, though.  Had to wait for the fire department to fish me out.)  I quickly learned to go to the seafood  joint at the other end of the marina and give Horatios a wide berth.  I  agree completely  with  David Arnstein: it may have been a good restaurant a few decades ago but it sadly went into decline,  That  "other" seafood restaurant is not bad  - I forget the name. It's very nautical inside, lots of rope and nets and all that getup, but the food used to be OK.  They used to do a farmed "baby coho" salmon which was excellent.

Cheers,
Phil
