The atmosphere was very relaxing and interesting. Our meal was some of the best seafood we have had in a long time. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner on our way out. Told many fish stories and discussed a lot of Pole Vaulting. It was a very pleasant experience! Thanks for a great time, Mike and Cheryl Cockerham

I had an amazing and delicious food at this place. I ordered the anniversary special red snapper.I had red snapper in other restaurants in the past but the portions that I ordered here was specialty ones. They mixed lightly breaded red snapper with fried saffron, stirred mushrooms and lettuce, and fried noodles with their seasoning.

I had just returned from a 6-week homeopathic cancer treatment and was craving crab legs.

It seems like a popular spot. However its definitely showing its age; the decor struck me as the kind of place that was popular in the mid-90’s. Fish tanks everywhere but some were a little murky.

Waitress was AMAZING!! She was very prompt in serving the small children we had with us because she understood how bored/hungry they were. Food was perfect as well.

We came here on an anniversary night and really enjoyed our experience. My husband doesn’t like seafood, and their chops were huge portions and he really enjoyed them. I had the largest shrimp I’ve ever seen and they were also great. Our waitress had great recommendations and didn’t judge when we were a little clueless since it was our first time there. It is pricey, but it at least has decent sized portions (not big, but decent). We reserved a table sort of last minute, but they honored the reservation with no problem. Our waitress even asked if we were seeing a show later so that she could help our night along if we needed out by a certain time. I thought that was very considerate.

Having dinner at Splash was a great experience. Neat atmosphere. The waitress was fun and attentive. The food was fantastic. It was pricey but well worth it. I had never seen such a large King crab leg. It was over a pound. We will definitely return to Splash in the future!

Really good! The waitress was knowledgeable about the wines, seafood, etc. She was able to suggest things that would fit our taste profiles. Expensive but worth it. Definitely for special occasions. Parking is a pain if there’s a show at the civic center though!

The atmosphere and the service were amazing! The oysters on the half shell were delicious and the steak was cooked to perfection. Giving 4 stars because the steak needed more seasoning for my taste. Highly recommend.
