I live in Laguna and eat out all the time. This place is under rated by trip advisor. If you are visiting from out of town you can't find a better restaurant than Splashes. The food is great, location, location, location - if you love the ocean and want a view this is the place. I always refer to tripadvisor... more

I had a few reservations about dining here after reading some of the recent reviews but the concierge at our hotel recommended Splashes very highly. We took a chance and were very happy. We were originally seated indoors next to a fireplace but when I asked to be seated outside, the hostess cheerfully sat us on the patio with a... more

Here's my review of Splashes: The food: Was extremely disappointing. Do not order the lobster bisque soup, it's the worst I've ever had. I think my local Ralphs deli makes a far better bisque. Too expensive for the mediocre food and service. The service: Good luck finding your server, ordering, getting recommendations on food, or even ordering a drink. Bartender... more

Wow, I couldn't believe it when I saw the "disappointing" reviews on here. I'm so glad I didn't see those before I went, cause' it was a wonderful experience I'd hate to miss! Went for Sunday brunch and sat downstairs right by the beach. We had a beautiful view of the ocean with waves crashing just a few feet away.... more

Staying down the street at another great hotel, we thought we'd try Splashes for breakfast at the Surf 'n Sand. What a bad idea!! The place was practically empty, but no one came to our table to ask about coffee, juice or even water. We ordered waffles, and they were to heaviest, flouriest duds we've ever had. We had to... more

My husband took me there for my birthday and the food was horrible! We are locals and have had much experience with dining out in Laguna. This was really expensive bad food! It was not that way a few years ago, but something bad has occurred with the chef/management! more

I paid the bill for the party of 14 referenced in the earlier posting. I must add that the service provided to our table was outstanding. The location of the table was very nice and the venue was quite nice. The food on the other hand left a lot to be desired. I can attest to all of the comments... more

Upon arrival at Splashes, we had to wait for a table. They told us it would be about ten minutes. So, we went down to the beach which is steps away from the restaurant...it was gorgeous. We saw the sunset and the huge waves crashing - got some great pictures! We looked at the time and we had been waiting... more
