Vibe: Intriguing panorama

Amidst the caustic culinary experience, Splashes hits a home run with its stunning oceanfront view, lavishing the patrons with elegant coziness. The ambiance artfully balances modern elegance with a warm, intimate setting, making it a prime spot for date nights. The wine selection and handcrafted cocktails emerge as significant players, albeit in an otherwise deteriorating game.

  • Great For Dates

    Romantic, private, and intimate setting ideal for memorable date nights.

  • Bad Buzz

    Lacks trendiness, sometimes empty, misses the upbeat, high-energy vibe.

Perks: Inadequate provisions

Perks at Splashes are akin to the proverbial mixed bag. While the cramped outdoor seating brings a shiver of discomfort, the restaurant flunks in accommodating large groups, with services being slow and inattentive. Even the veggie lovers and diet-conscious customers would find scant solace in the vexingly limited options on offer.

  • Great For Kids

    Kids menu with large portions; accommodating, with nice views.

  • Okay To Hear

    Ambiance overall is fine, with some nice quiet areas but also noisy spots.

  • Bad Service

    Service slow, inattentive at times, causing delays and decreased dining satisfaction.
