We have been to Splashes 2 times in the last few months. We love the location! We enjoyed an overnight get away at the Surf and Sand Resort and had a wonderful dinner. We went back to Splashes a few weeks later for lunch. What a perfect view while we enjoyed our lunch! The Double Brie and Fig Burger is... More

Many restaurants with great views, this one on the beach at Laguna, glide by on the view and gave okay kitchens. Not this one. Here the kitchen comes first and the great Pacific is an extra. Impressive and delicious dishes in a very pleasant space. Look up their menu to see if is for you. Scallops, cod , kefte, marvelous... More

The setting can't be beat. Splashes is as close to the water as any restaurant in Laguna. The hotel has invested to add to the experience with appropriate beach lighting. My experience with the food was also positive. The range is somewhat limited, but covers enough of the major bases. Our server was attentive, but quite comfortable with our lingering... More

Absolutely lovely! After a brisk walk on the beach, my husband and I were in search of a breakfast spot, not an easy thing to find in Loguna Beach as it turned out. Splashes @ Surf & Send hotel welcomed us for breakfast even though we were not hotel guests. The food was perfect (I had Huevos Rancheros and my... More

A view restaurant that serves great food in Orange County combines a series of oxymorons. We decided upon Splashes to show our East Coast cohorts our West Coast view. The view is spectacular (for OC. I'm sure it's more spectacular in other areas of the world, so not to diminish the word). It is a really special view. The food,... More

Ate in the bar and was given the option at dinner that I could order from either bar or dinner menu. We mixed and matched exactly what we wanted. Food was top notch

Splashes is an elegant restaurant with great food and service. My waiter recommended the Crispy Brussels Sprouts and they were incredibly tasty. For an entree I enjoyed a perfectly prepared rack of lamb. I was there for dinner rather late at night .... but I'd love to go back to Splashes for lunch to appreciate the terrific view it must...

My wife and I had dinner here and the food was excellent. We split a warm spinach salad that had an amazing mix of flavors that was superb. I had the pork chop with brown ale reduction and it may be the best pork chop I have ever had. My wife's risotto was also wonderful. The Golden Peach Galette with... More

I was looking for a romantic spot for dinner where my husband and I could celebrate our anniversary. After checking many reviews, I chose Splashes in Laguna Beach. This was one of the most beautiful places that I have ever eaten dinner! We made an early dinner reservation so we would be sure to be there for sunset. There is... More
