If you are looking for fine dining, this is not it. This is very average hotel/motel dining room fare. I like the Zagat guide and have used it to choose many restaurants all over the country. I give Splash a Zagat 12. Splash would drown, if located in Manhattan.\r

Based on positive comments by others, I gave Splash three chances to produce good food. Each time, I felt that the food was mediocre at best, overpriced at least.\r
\r
The first and third attempts were standard fish plates, the second attempt was a Lobster stew special. The food was not cooked or seasoned very well and the quality of the fish was maybe passable. More importantly, each time I felt I could have done a better job at home - the exact opposite experience I seek when eating out.\r
\r
All of this while charging fine dining amounts. $30+ for average, bland fish? Not once, but three times? No thanks.\r
\r
To top it off, we had service issues each time. Nobody was rude or anything like that. But, the waiters always forgot one or two things and had to be reminded. The third time, the waitress lost our Groupon, the bill came at full price and I had to walk around to find someone to take care of the problem.\r
