Our experience at Splashes was amazing!! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff treated us like royalty, and ocean views were magnificent. The only downside was the resort guests. Because this restaurant is located in the resort, you are underneath the guest room balconies. Having guests, especially children, constantly looking at you while you dine was a little unnerving. However, we soon forgot they were there and had a fantastic experience. Definitely recommend!

This is a classy restaurant in a classy hotel. The restaurant offers a very nice view on the sea. Better having a reservation.

I was really excited about this restaurant when we found it. But it was very disappointing. It is an amazing location, and that is probably the only thing that will keep it in business. We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation, and we were seated pretty quickly. But the idea of service stopped there. Numerous people came by stating they would bring us water. But it didn’t happen for a long time. We ordered drinks from the bar, and we ordered an appetizer along with main dishes. It took a good 20 minutes for the appetizer to come out, and the drinks were well after that. We watched tables come and go and food delivered while we waited. When we inquired with the waiter, we always got a little bit of attitude about how they are busy and popular. When we finally got our food, it was obvious it had been sitting in the kitchen for a while.

Beautiful spot with wonderful food and service. Jhoana did a perfect job, making us feel special as we celebrated our anniversary and made great recommendations. The steak and salmon were cooked perfectly to our liking. The chocolate crème brûlée was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had and paired with the Sherry, it was amazing.

My wife and I were staying at the Surf and Sand Resort so we went to their restaurant, Splashes, for lunch while we were waiting for our room to be ready for check-in. We also had dinner at Splashes on our last night. As others have said, the view is absolutely spectacular and the service is top notch.

Splashes is a high-end restaurant at the Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach, California. Hearing the sound from the ocean waves, I can appreciate the name of the restaurant.I had an early dinner at Splashes on a Thursday. The sunset was beautiful. The hostess was very friendly. Alejandro, my server was very attentive. The manager stopped by and I teased him for working too hard by carrying the dishes. Well, he said that was the spirit of good team work. The Crispy Octopus, Ribeye Steak, Bread Pudding were all good. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Laguna Beach.

Great food and service! Patrick, Kody, and Tony were all wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful during our dinner experience. Fantastic at recommendations from dinner, to coffee to desserts! The view was gorgeous even on a cloudy day. The light spray of ocean water during high tide was refreshing!

I’ve been to Italy, but those cavatellis were probably the best pastas I have ever eaten. Plus, the menu has enough choice to provide quality for any preference. Both the exterior and interior tables are great with the view on the beach. The staff was extremely kind. We were running late and called them, and they extended our reservation time.

I found a new favorite spot instantly! This restaurant perfectly captures its name and concept. Located right on the ocean front, it’s a destination for both dining and bar experiences. The cocktails are delicious, and the food looks as good as it tastes. The best part is enjoying it all while the waves crash against the building. It’s a visually stunning and tasty experience.
