This was our first time at Splash and Pearl and certainly won't be our last! The food was absolutely lovely with both my halibut and my partner's salmon cooked to perfection. The portions were substantial and the wine list extensive, varied and high calibre. The staff were so friendly and considerate. We really can't fault this and would recommend highly.
