Splashes Restaurant - Ocean Side View!

So since I'm a pig, my passion is to eat good food.  Lucky for me, my Google reps occasionally wine and dine us after a business meeting. Splashes Restaurant was both delicious and had an amazing backdrop...I would totally come back here!

The Beautiful View

 The PG/Google Team

The "AMAZING" food!

 Artisan Cheese Plate 18
(Coastal and American Cheeses, Fig Bread, Cherry Compote)

Shrimp Cocktail - These were soooo good! Super big and juicy.

Ahi Trio Tasting 20
(Seared Rare with Yuzu Sauce, Tartare with Avocado Mousse, Spring Roll) - Delicious plate, especially the seared tuna and tartare (it had Avocado which made it pretty mushy but still really good with the crispy onions)

Crab Cakes - Although they were still good, I've had better and enjoyed them the least out of all the starters I had.  

Seared Viking Village Scallops 37
(Butternut Squash Risotto, Brown Butter Sauce, Crispy Sage) - This was my entree! The waitress said it was "Amazing" and it was! The risotto was so tasty I couldn't stop eating even though I was stuffed!

Pan Seared Ahi Tuna 38
(Ginger and Lemongrass Braised Carrots, Lentil Confetti, Citrus Sauce) - Good seasoning but nothing too special although Amy said the carrots were "delish!"

Grilled Beef Tenderloin 42
(Horseradish Gnocchi, Heirloom Carrots, Pinot Noir Sauce)  - Notice that the plate is half eaten...because this was THE BEST entree I tried tonight...order it medium rare!

Always room for dessert!

Tahitian Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée - My favorite!

Pecan Sandy Cookie, Fresh Berries

Espresso Cheesecake

Warm Chocolate Decadence

After a few drinks of wine + all this food = food coma for me. =)
