One of our favorites!. We've eaten here many times and every time the food and service has been excellent! We enjoy it so much we had our rehearsal dinner here and everyone loved it. Not sure why the bad reviews when all we've had is excellent service every time. We eat out A LOT so we know and appreciate good food and service when we get it.

ONLY IN TAMPA. ONLY IN TAMPA COULD THIS RESTAURANT BE CONSIERED THE MOST ROMANTIC. IT IS LOCATED IN A STRIP CENTER WITH NO VIEW AND CHEAP BOOTHS. THE FOOD AT BEST IS AVERAGE AND VERY BASIC. THOUGH THE FOOD MIGHT BE BETTER THAN BEEF O BRADY'S THE INSIDE OF THIS RESTAURANT IS NOT THAT MUCH BETTER. THERE IS MUCH BETTER SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS THAN SPLASH. BONEFISH FOR ONE............

Great Resturant!. We purchaseda Groupon for lunch and went yesterday and the food was excellent. My husband had the Lobster and shrimp linguini and it was loaded with big pieces of lobster and the shrimp were huge. I loved their Splash salad! The service could have been a little better but she was nice just did not come back to refill drinks. We will still go back!

Very Disappointed. I was very excited when I purchased a Groupon for Splash, I had seen the advertisements on TV and read the review. Unfortunately, my expierence was awful! We arrived on a Monday night @ 6:00pm. Our waitress

started out GREAT!. We ordered and appeitizer and it

was good, the times between the food was unacceptable! The waitress clearly had tooooo many tables and we were her only table on the opposite side of the restaurant! When we finally got our food the fish that my daughter ordered was burnt! Fifteen minutes later the waitress came back to check on us we told her,

she said she would have it prepared again! 30 minutes later we were still waiting and I asked for the check and she finally brought the fish in a to go container.

The manager never came to our table, if your not a regular don't expect to see him!

Swim the other way. 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.

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.

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.

All of this while charging fine dining amounts. $30+ for average, bland fish? Not once, but three times? No thanks.

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.

Come on ....

what a disappointment. I was so looking forward to a great meal, but I was really disappointed. My Husband's tilapia was so fishy we could't take more than 1 bite. It had to be rotten. My shrimp and scallops was undercooked and horrible. We literally ate 1 bite and couldn't eat more. The waitress didn't even notice. She was clearly having a bad night because she was being short and rude. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The one thing that was nice was that the manager came by to ask how the meal tasted. Unfortunately we chose not to tell the truth. That was our mistake.

Hidden fees and overpriced wine. While my wife and I did enjoy our entrees, there were two disappointing aspects to our second (and probably last) visit to Splash. We made our second visit to celebrate my birthday, having been incentivized by a $20 birthday discount coupon that we received in the mail. Upon receiving our bill, we noted that there was an unexpected $10 “op gratuity” that was mandatory. This, combined with our normal 20% tip made for an expensive end to the meal and, in reality, reduced our $20 birthday discount to $10. Secondly, we tried a featured wine at $10 per glass only to find out later that a full bottle sold locally for $6. Good food does not make up for price gouging and hidden fees. Sorry Splash, but you left a bad taste in our mouths.
