Ok, first thing first. This is an end of a pier restaurant. Normally I'd give a huge +1 for simply not being a gross cash cow. But WOW, this is out of the park end of the pier goodness. I'm sitting here in the sun on a blustery April day, all tucked up behind a protective glass shield watching the pelicans, pretty much full in love with this place. I wish it wasn't covid times, cos our son discovered that there is an Actual Rotating Bar inside, and I would happily hunker down in there until I was a blubbering coconut cream imbibed mess. For now tho, we must move with the sun, and maybe leave it at the four or five or six of the wonderful cocktails and appetisers that's we've schlurped down s...

Our waiter, Steve was amazing! He was friendly and even took a great photo of our group of 4! We arrived about 30 minutes before closing time! Totally understand this is not ideal for any restaurant; however, Steve did not pressure us and was very friendly! Now, on to the food! The crab Rangoons were delish. As for the rest of the food, nobody really enjoyed their entrees. The fried rice was extremely salty and oily, the poke bowl was gross and has sweet fruit nuts that just didn't go with the other flavors (imo), the Hawaiian spin on the pad thai was disappointing- it lacked the boldness that the traditional thai version is known to have. It was bland! The loco moco was the best of all the...
Totally outstanding. Went on Saturday at prime time and were seated right away with our 6:30 reservation. Cool walking over the viewing windows in the floor seeing the sea lions below. Drinks were great! Such a selection from the cool tropical menu. Original 1944 Mai Tai, Venus Saturn and Painkiller. Very cool glasses, too. We'll be back to try some others. For pupus, we tried the Spam Musubi. Very nice and. tasty. The full list looks amazing. Again, we'll be back. Dinner: Pad Thai A little bland, could use some more flavor and spices, but pretty good. Plenty of shrimp. Tamarind Pua'au Kalua Pork with rice and mac salad. Very good pork; mac salad not bad but could use more flavor. Pineapple...
Very disappointed in the experience... had a reservation but wasn't needed as they weren't as crowded as I would've expected on a Friday evening. Even with a reservation on a not-so busy night didn't get a window seating. Service was incredibly slow. Food was mediocre at best. Worst calamari appetizer I have ever had.... bland and overdone... kind of like deep fried cardboard. Book a table now
Tuesday night for locals. Hot or cold lobster rolls. Service was efficient. Four of us ordered lobster rolls. Mine was lukewarm. A party of 20 diners occupied most of the servers and doubled the ambient noise. Dinner for four, one beer and one app plus tip was $120. Splash! has an extensive menu but dinner was a bust. Might try lunch after the tourists go home.
The host appeared reluctant to be there and seemed disinterested in taking our name for a table. However, the waitress was friendly and went out of her way to assist us. Unfortunately, the food was lacking in flavor and not prepared to our liking.
We love Splash. It's a great place to take out-of-town visitors. Get a table at the rotating bar for great views and the novelty of it. Friendly servers and a varied menu.
Love this place, the food is great, fantastic views, only issue is that they are consistently under staffed. But the rotating bar is a must Book a table now
The music the drinks the food ambiance was so much fun! ??
Good casual dining option. Very nice views of the water.
