Last week on a business/holiday trip to Cairns, 'Splash' was recommended to us by another business owner in town. We were not disappointed. This family business is not flashy like some of the overpriced and under quality restaurants on the Esplanade strip in Cairns. Splash has good quality, local seafood cooked to perfection and at reasonable prices. The waiting staff,... More

Unfortunately, not quite 5 star rating but food was reasonably priced and food was quite good. My husband had the chicken as he is not a great fan of seafood. He stated his meal was delicious. I had the calamari which I would have thought would be a little better considering this is a seafood restaurant. I had the same... More

We had a birthday dinner in the evening . Waiter was extremely helpful and professional. Drinks and the meals were all spot on. Just remember your paying at a tourist destination, so you don't get $10 fish and chips. A great time was had by all.

First of all they lost our booking - put us in for the wrong night, but implied it was our fault despite the fact we had checked the details twice! Outside tables were a bit squashed together. The mains were all quite good; well cooked, healthy serves which represented good value for money though the side salad was uninspired. Dessert... More

Went here because it was on a table 52 card. The service was great, very friendly and knowledgeable without being pushy or intrusive. My friend and I split a dozen oysters (half natural half mango, only difference being the sauce they gave). Then we split a seafood platter and bugs, following with a burlee. Everything was decent, nothing I could... More

Visited early evening on a Sunday. We had fish and chips. Chips were very nice but fish was greasy. Waitress looked a bit bored. Child's meal last time we went was much better than this time so the consistency isn't there.

We've been coming to Cairns for the last five years and we've tried a fair number of restaurants, but Splash remains a firm favourite and is always our first port of call when we arrive in town. It's just far enough away from the bulk of the waterfront hustle and bustle that the effect is relaxed rather than rushed, yet... More
