    We had a nice experience, our waitress was extremely busy, but she was very sweet. I had the turkey dinner and it was good and the sweet potatoes and stuffing were really, the mashed potatoes and gravy were pretty good. I was surprised overall we all had a very good Thanksgiving dinner at Black Angus our first time ever having a holiday dinner at a restaurant. I don’t eat a whole lot so I still had a lot to bring home any later, but I was so full for the rest of the night. I couldn’t eat anything else. Also, the pumpkin pie was pretty good. My granddaughter tore that up and I had a bite and it was very good.

    We had Thanksgiving lunch at LB steak. Maria was our server & she was fantastic! She was very attentive and explained as lol the different cuts of meat and had wonderful recommendations. Our steaks were of course cooked to perfection and the Mac & cheese is a must. Their special cinnamon pumpkin pie was the best ever. Highly recommended this restaurant anytime!

    Have not beento Horatio’s in many yrs. Went for an early Thanksgiving meal. Service was very good. Our servier was friendly and very prompt with all items ordered. As for the food, well prepared, and tasty. We hade seafood entrees, sea bass and past with seafood. Both were very good. Pricing was low compared to all other restaurants in the area and cost to value excellent. For two adults, entrees 2 drinks each, soup or salad, desert, coffee toatal $14 and change before tip. For a quality Holiday meal in the SF Bay Area, a bargain. A nice experience and we will go back for non holiday meals in the future. Located at the now closed but cleaned up Marina, very quiet and plenty of close parking.

    Had a wonderful anniversary dinner at one of our go to places. Excellent service by David which started off with a glass of champagne on the house. Very classy gesture followed by relaxing dinner. The place was packed for a Monday night and suggest to make reservations. Won’t be disappointed
