"As a long-time patron of Horatio's, I've consistently enjoyed wonderful meals and excellent service. I took my cousin for lunch because she never been to Horatio’s. However, during this visit, the seating process left me feeling somewhat confused and somewhat embarrassed. Upon arrival, the hostess led us to a table away from the window. When we politely inquired about the possibility of a window seat, we were informed that there weren't any servers assigned to that section at that time. While we understood, the restaurant appeared not quite so busy and the window tables were primarily occupied by Caucasian patrons. The table that we were led to was about 3 steps away from 3 empty tables by the window. After a few attempts, the hostess ultimately accommodated our request for a window table, which we appreciated. However, shortly after being seated, two separate groups of Caucasian women were seated at the other two empty window tables behind us. This sequence of events raised concerns about potential bias in seating practices based on race. I’ve never felt discrimination before but that day I felt we were discriminated."
