Splash Wine Bar

10/10 all around. Very welcoming atmosphere and phenomenal service. Food came out in a timely manor and was absolutely delicious. Most definitely will be returning for more!

Absolutely wonderful experience over the last two weekends in Bemus. Not just your normal winebar, but an elevated experience I didn't realized was missing from the Village of Bemus Point. The wine (I recommend Roero Nebbiolo if you like a delicious full body), the cocktails (Coconut Margarita is out of this world!), the tapas menu (brisket mac and cheese, poke, flatbreads), and the dessert (the butter toffee cake is now my all-time favorite) are all fantastic! Great work to the owners and staff! Also - kudos for the nifty lighting in the evenings (not super bright), musical choices, and overall ambiance created.

Well, things escalated after this photo was taken. I was visiting the area this past weekend and decided to stop at Splash for a wine tasting and dessert. While enjoying myself on the patio, I was stung by a bee. I brought this to the attention of the staff and said I felt funny. Little did I know, I was going into anaphylactic shock. The employees jumped into action and called 911. One server recognized my symptoms and even called her boyfriend to bring an epipen, incase he could arrive before the paramedics. I truly believe the actions of the staff, paramedics, nurses and ER Physician saved my life. As a solo traveler, I still felt comfortable and knew I was in good hands. Thank you!!! I will definitely be returning and hope to finish my wine flight this time, only with a little less excitement.

Stopped for drinks and flat bread pizza. Excellent food and service. We will definitely stop again when visiting over the summer months. Glad to see the Bemus Point area growing!

Rat Pack was amazing! Owners, staff and entertainment was everything!

Had a wonderful evening outside on the patio. Our server was very busy but told us ahead of time so we had no worries. The sunset sushi roll may have been the best sushi we ever had. Will be back!!!

This restaurant is an oasis of world class food in an area generally offering tourist lake dining. Literally everything on the menu sounds good, and then actually tastes amazing. The portions are not large but the flavors and presentation would impress anyone knowledgeable about fine dining.

Splash is an amazing, one of a kind restaurant! Shawn, one of the two owners came to our table within 5 minutes of our arrival. Shawn treated us like family from the minute we walked in. He and Susan, his wife, also an owner, have created an extraordinary experience. Shawn plays piano on evenings when he doesn't have guest musicians. The nightclub style restaurant is so welcoming and fun. The staff, every single one of them function like a team and serve as a reflection of the owners' desired culture. The food is fresh, well prepared, and memorable. All the plates are artistically presented showing off beautiful food. I want to praise the owners for their decision to be open seven days a week. There are so few restaurants since the pandemic that serve seven days a week. As travelers we appreciate your efforts. Usually when I write even excellent reviews like this one I mention a few areas that need some improvement. I have no areas of improvement. You are both consummate professionals who excel in every aspect of the hospitality business. Thanks for two beautiful evenings. We will return one day. Have a great summer!

This is the place to go in Bemus Point if you are looking for great wine, food, music and service. The atmosphere is relaxing and has sort of a Bogart Casablanca feel to it. The piano/jazz/singer ‘Nick’, is extremely talented and a regular on weekends. Outdoor and indoor seating are both excellent. We visit the CHQ & Bemus areas often during the summer, and Splash is our favorite place.

My wife loves coming here when we are in town. It seems upscale, but has a casual and comfortable vibe. The perfect "vacation" food and the best in the area by far! Keep up the good work Splash Team

I have been alive on this planet for 21 years, and i have to say this is the most delicious food i’ve ever had in my entire life. The drinks are delicious and the atmosphere is amazing. This is genuinely the best resturant in Bemus Point.

I had high expectations based on other's reviews. Unfortunately, my husband and I found the food mediocre at best. I appreciate that it was not mass produced food, but lacked some flavor and paid for just a main entree and not really much more (brisket served over mac and cheese came with a side of 5 coin sized carrots). I have a small appetite and felt the portion size was on the small size even for me. My husband had lobster patties on a bed of lettuce. Dessert was disappointing too. I try to limit my refined sugar intake and only order dessert if I think it's worth the sugar ingestion. I had the ultimate chocolate cake which was ok but definitely not ultimate and was more of a cross between cake and cheesecake like. My husband got the flour less chocolate cake and it was very gooey. Overall, disappointed in the meal.

Suggestion: Adding a note on your menu (and website) that the restaurant is tapas-style could be a great way to let guests know the portions are smaller and perfect for sharing bite-sized plates. It sets the stage for the kind of fun, social dining experience you’re aiming for... rather than leaving it as an unexpected surprise. Food Feedback: While I appreciated the concept of the brisket mac & cheese, the execution felt a bit off—the brisket was dry and lacked flavor, and the mac & cheese was slightly oily rather than creamy and cheesy. One customer’s comment comparing it to leftovers isn’t entirely off the mark. Related to the owner's responses to other customer reviews of this dish, it’s worth considering that some diners (myself included) may finish it simply because they’re hungry and the portion is small. The bigger goal might be to make it a dish guests are genuinely excited to order again.

Ordered the scallops, the menu said “four large sea scallops” the “large”were the size of a half dollar, there were 3 that size and the 4th was the size of a nickel. Not sure how that comes out of a kitchen. My husband order the brisket Mac n cheese and it’s about the size of a child Mac in cheese. If you’re hungry order a lot of food lol.

I'm very disappointed. The waitress was very friendly. I ordered the brisket mac and cheese I didn't realize it came in a 4oz bowl with small 3 pieces of very dried brisket on it. My husband ordered the short ribs and cheesy polenta and got a few pieces of an over cooked pot roast as we requested the appetizer came out at the same time. We were both disappointed with the entrees but we were happy the Asiago bowl looked delicious till we tasted it and it was cold. I had a tito and lemonade and it was $19. I get going to a nicer place and paying more for a delicious meal with small portions but that is contingent on the meal being delicious not tasting like small portions of left overs. Shame to we were planning on coming back for the flat bread mushroom pizza and the sushi. But no thank you.

Ordered the mac and cheese with brisket. What we received was mashed potatoes with brisket. Informed waitress it was wrong, but instead of replacing just brought a side of mac n cheese. Brisket was old and dried out. (See pic). Was told it would be comped off the bill. However, still charge for the mac and cheese as a side dish. The owner and supplier both apologized, but when I was still charged for the mac n cheese, I was even more disappointed. Service was good and great atmosphere. still tippep well because it wasn't the waitresses fault the food was old. Updated after response: WE ORDERED MAC AND CHEESE WITH BRISKET, NOT MASHED POTATOES. Had to remove the brisket and put on mac and cheese. And still charged for a side of mac and cheese.

As someone who works in the food and beverage industry, this is the first restaurant review I have ever felt compelled to write. Completely deceiving menu, items labeled as gluten free that aren’t, ingredients missing from sushi and drinks. Most menu items being unavailable due to “holiday weekend” yet the restaurant was empty late afternoon. Took 45 mins to receive a water and cocktails. Worst California roll I have ever tasted, dry and lacking flavor. Manager was extremely rude and expressed that the other restaurant’s food in the vicinity “would not taste as good” if we had left and went somewhere else. I am not one to complain while dining out but coming here seriously put a damper on our day.

Worst experience ever. Waited 40 mins for drinks, out of shrimp at 2 on Memorial Day at 2:00. Waitress put in wrong order for my daughter. Manager came over and was rude and then said they were also out of quinoa. Chicken wings app is marked gluten free but comes w Mac and cheese which is not gluten free, also they misspelled gluten all over the menu. When we said we could have gone to other restaurant the manager said in a oissy tone - fine go ahead but it won’t be as good. The California roll was dry as hell and said stick crab and there was none. The ahi tuna was bland and the items were entree prices and stated as such and they were appeitizer portions. I couldn’t even get a straw w my drink. It took over 45 mins to get raw food, which was bland and dry at that. Manager had no customer service experience at all. Bar tender was new and didn’t know how to make drinks …on Memorial Day weekend. That is hilarious Please please post this fictitious camera footage, we were never asked to leave, we never even complained after waiting 40 mins just for drinks. So please do show because myself and my 2 daughters have more class than that!
