Splash Seafood: Reviews & Ratings
We ventured out on a cold night for a taste of the warm ocean waters. Splash is always a spot to grab the freshest and most fantastic seafood in town and this visit did not disappoint. As I start each trip here I went for the highest level of pussers painkiller. That is always a good start. No trip here is complete without a nice bottle of wine with the meal and the chard we have was a great pairing with the shellfish platter. Service is always on point here. This is a great spot for a casual dinner at the bar or a full formal celebration downstairs. Thanks as always Splash Team
The restaurant is a delightful place with multiple levels and fish tanks aplenty. The drinks and food are delicious and service friendly. Just don't order the pineapple upside down cake: tasteless and bland, a small pineapple plus no pecans which should be standard.
We love this place! The Chilean sea bass is one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. Have always had great service there as well.
This is great seafood! I had the sriracha scallops and can't stop thinking about them. There were 5 of us and everyone loved their food!
Loved this place! We live on a small rural area where fine dining is non existent.. so we were so excited to find a restaurant with top notch service and food to match . Cannot say enough about Moscow oyster.. could have eaten 10-20 easily.the halibut was delicious plus we ordered our fav grasshopper for desert. Yes it is a little pricey but so worth the experience. Thank you Jena you were amazing!
Excellent evening out! The shrimp was delicious in the butter sauce, the technical word I don't remember but it started with a M. The asparagus was perfectly grilled. Ended a great meal with the pineapple upside down cake, which was delicious!
