    Our group was visiting Splashes for a late-night dinner party. The service was was excellent; Patrick, our waiter, was very personable, attentive, and exceptionally accommodating. As far as the ambience, one might feel as if they stepped inside a swanky Mediterranean lounge-bar. The food however, I felt, left something to be desired. The members in our group were completely satisfied with their dishes (halibut, salmon, and scallops), but I felt there was some room for improvement. The salmon I ordered was cooked to perfection, but the accompaniments were prepared in a somewhat rudimentary fashion; the vegetables tasted under-cooked and under-seasoned. The crab ravioli appetizer was also severely lacking in flavor; sacrificing taste for aesthetics and theatrical appeal, the chef decided to forego a conventional rich bisque or cream sauce and substitute with corn broth--which is poured over the ravioli; this made for an amusing spectacle, but soggy and disoriented taste experience. However, one the whole, the experience at Splashes restaurant was a positive one; some culinary tweaking would push this establishment over the top.

    Absolutely gorgeous place and wonderful food. I would eat there every week if I could afford it. I so recommend it for a special occasion. If you go for lunch you will dine looking at the waves crashing on the beach right next to you. Staff is super professional and courteous.
