    Excellent food and ambiance for the price in Laguna Beach. Unfortunately there are some construction works while we ate there that caused some noise. Otherwise a five-star experience all around.

    No words can express my disappointment! This used to be one of my favorite local dining establishments. I made a reservation, as it was a special occasion, only to be told upon arrival that no tables were available in the main dining area. We were seated at a filthy table down in the bar area outside, along side pool guests. When were the windows last washed??? Food was good but served cafeteria style-plopped down on plate with absolutely no thought of presentation. The Branzino came alone on the plate without even a slight herb sprinkling or a squiggle of sauce or a leaf to make it look pleasing. Not sure I will be back. Sad to lose this previously great restaurant……….

    This was not our first visit to Splashes. My son was visiting from Dallas, so I thought he’d enjoy sitting outside in the cool ocean breeze and enjoy the lovely view. Splashes did not disappoint. The food and the service were exceptional. We will definitely keep this restaurant in our dining rotation.

    Hard pass here. Ordered the $80 ribeye…wasn’t ribeye and came out cold. Really chewy and gristly. Wife’s meal was fine. Notified server….he offered no solution! Under construction…lots of scaffolding.

    construction everywhere. We did not have a good experience but may try it again for the potential view after all of the mess is done. Our table was facing other people's meals or construction. we waited for someone to come to our table to order wine / food, but unfortunately nobody came for water, drinks, food, greeting. . . nothing. After 20 minutes without service, we just left. I'm not sure if they are short staffed on mondays or if it's always like that.

    Having the option on being close to the ocean made this experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely come back. The only minor detail was there was no background music.

    Splashes at Surf & Sand ResortResponded 1 day ago

    Hi JavierL, Thank you for the review. We have music in our enclosed restaurant and our lounge area, for our full outside seating we do not have music as the splashes of the ocean waves are the ambiance. Hope to see you again soon. Derek J Downing Splashes General Manager

    Arranged for a table overlooking the ocean. The only real noise in the restaurant was the waves. Patrick was a fantastic server. He kept us all entertained and was impeccable in manner. Filet mignon was butter-soft, ladies had scallops and ate it all; my friend had lamb and loved it. Overall a delightful experience, well worth the price. What an experience.

    The only frustrating thing was the convoluted walk from the valet parking to the restaurant while their construction is going on. However the flat iron steak, medium rare, was delicious. The drinks were good although very expensive. Well, one is paying for the stunning view without a doubt.

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary having dinner at Splashes. The food was fantastic as well as the view of the ocean. The service was 2nd to none. Our server, Carson, was very attentive, personable, and friendly. He made sure we were enjoying our experience and even had a special dessert for us at the end for our anniversary.

    The remodel of the Surf & Sand made it difficult and confusing to park and reach Splashes. I had a guest with me who was sight impaired and the amount of stairs, etc made it very challenging for her. Also the signage for parking was also confusing. Great service and beautiful location!

    The weather was perfect! Our server, Patrick, was great! It is just a loud place to have dinner. We had a couple ladies next to us with screaming kids. All of the pool people walk right through the restaurant to get to their rooms. You need to find a better way to move people through the hotel. You can't have fine dinning with noise and beach people dripping wet walking 6 feet away. Food was fabulous though. Best location in Laguna.
