Built in 1927, Fig313 stands today as an original historical landmark of San Clemente, with a history that is meant to be shared with its seaside community.

    Absolutely wonderful experience. Incredibly, I booked the table too late in the evening and we missed the sunset. The staff is just lovely and the portions were extremely generous and I was surprised. I’m very particular about cocktails and I would say this was a nine out of 10, Definitely Craft.

    I have been coming to Splashes for over 20 years. Dining at Splashes is an experience. Enjoy the majestic sunset, listen to crashing waves while dining on exceptional food served by passionate and caring staff. We had Johanna as our server this evening. She was amazing. There is a new general manager, Julian, and he came over to our table, introduced himself and shared with us his hospitality industry experience. He is perfect for this new role in a beautiful remodel, hotel and dining area. The bar is still under construction and will be open in a few weeks. You can never go wrong dining at Splashes. While the price of this Christmas four course price fixe menu was more than the norm, it was worth it. We had the Wagyu New York steak medium rare which was divine. I had the Hamachi appetizer which was exceptional. The desserts are a work of art. This restaurant is always on the top of my list when there is a special holiday or occasion. You will never be disappointed at Splashes.

    Overall a lovely experience and the special price Sunday night dinner was a hit. You’re still able to order from the regular menu but it was nice to have a reasonably priced coursed meal for $25 total. The server was attentive and friendly. It’s a great local gem.
