Horatio's

A couple of nights ago a friend took the kids over for a sleepover, and Mike and I decided to go out. I hadn't been at home for our 15th anniversary (it was my last day in Kenya), so this was sort of a late anniversary dinner. This time I was not that impressed with Horatio's.

We ate at the lounge, which is my favorite area of the restaurant. I was in the mood for something sweet so I orded the onion rings ($6) and the BBQ pork sandwich ($10). Mike had the fish & chips ($13.50) - all food from the pub menu. The onion rings were very disappointing, they barely had any flavor, though the dipping sauces were pretty good, specially the spicy one. Still, the onion rings and mayo sauce at Angelina's are much better.

My sandwich was advertised to come with coleslaw, and I assumed they meant on the side. Instead it was mixed into the meat, making it too spicy for my taste. Others, I'm sure, would like it. The sandwich came with a large portion of unremarkable fries.

Mike's fish and chips were good, and he'd order them again. I think I might as well.

The portions were quite generous, and I wasn't able to finish it all. Even so, I could not resist getting their chocolate decadence cake ($8), a chocolate cake with a deep fudge frosting served with vanilla ice cream. It really honors its name and it's fully decadent. I love it and order it almost every time I go to Horatio's.

I'll continue going to Horatio's as I really enjoy the lounge and the desserts - and now that they have a pub menu, going there for dinner is less onerous (their regular menu is very expensive).
