"I had requested an outdoor table but when I arrived at the time of my reservation I was told I would have to wait another 45minutes if I wanted an outdoor table. That was disappointing. Next time I will comfirm with the restaurant directly if want an outdoor table, or arrive early."

"Went to Splashes for Easter brunch with friends. There was 10 of us. The ambiance was amazing overlooking the ocean and the food was great but this is the second time they have gotten our bill wrong. Not only did they add gratuity AFTER tax but 2 of our friends left early and got a separate bill so they added gratuity on their bill and then added total gratuity for all 10 of us again on the remaining 8 person bill. We weren't sure why the bill wasn't added up and figured out they overcharged gratuity after we paid. We spoke to the manager but they said they could not help us and that we would have to call Accounting on Monday. Not the type of service I would expect from this establishment!"

"From the host to the waiter to the bus boy, the service was excellent. Everyone was so friendly and anxious to meet our needs in every way. You feel like you are sitting almost next to the sand. I don't know how you could get a restaurant any closer to the water. The food was exceptional. My husband and I had the sea scallops. They were perfectly cooked and the presentation was beautifully done. We also had dessert and both of our desserts were excellent. I would highly recommend Splashes for a romantic place to dine. My husband and I can't wait to go back!"

"Came here to celebrate my friend's birthday. I did notate that on my opentable reservation, however nothing "special" happened for my friend for her birthday. Would have been nice if the host or waitress mentioned something. Oh well. We had a good time anyway. Food was really good, but our waitress wasn't that attentive and that was surprising since the place wasn't very busy at 2:30pm. We ordered a bottle of wine with our lunch entrees and unfortunately were waiting for our waitress to refill our wine glasses. Finally filled, but then we ended up pouring our own for our last glass. Upscale places don't always equal great service. I would come back, but probably for the bar downstairs only."

"Went here for dinner and brunch. Risotto was really oatmeal and should never have been served. Wine list had poor choices. Waitress was nice, but service was especially slow. The front of the house was possibly the worst I've ever seen for dinner and brunch.

Brunch was really a breakfast. Omelettes and egg preparations were inedible. There really was no leadership at this place to take responsibility."
