Splash Café Gourmet Catering

My wife and I celebrated our wedding this weekend, and our reception was absolutely perfect thanks to Splash and their wonderful staff. Where do I start? The food was spectacular. The service was top-​notch. And we simply wouldn’t of had the experience we had if it weren’t for Heather. She was professional, charismatic, and very helpful. She helped us with several aspects of our wedding. She, along with her crew, made our reception run as smoothly as possible. Thank you Heather, and Splash Café, for the wonderful experience!

I heard they had great clamp chowder. Living so close to the ocean I was hoping for it. I was horrible disappointed. I was one of the worst clamp chowder I had ever had. Vons supermarket chowder is far better. All I asked for was a cup of chowder and a soda. I had to ask twice for the chowder after waiting. I had to ask for the cup for the soda. For a Saturday night it was not to busy to give good service. They did have hunk of calm but that’s the only good thing I can say. Other then that it was a «don’t bother» it was far to thick, patsy in tast and pudding in consistency. There are far better for less money.

Splash Café is amazing in itself. Splash Café’s Gourmet Catering is another story entirely. We hired them to cater our rehearsal dinner and wedding. The food for both events was fantastic. They made it so easy for us to customize a menu that fit our wedding. My groom’s family is in the restaurant business and the food is very important to them and we wanted everything to be as perfect as possible. Splash Café surpassed our expectations as well as both of our families and we received so many compliments. The desserts were to die for. Heather even made sure to save some for my husband and I so we could taste them. Our cake was adorable, exactly how I had pictured it. They have some amazing talent cooking and baking there. Mike is awesome and it seems like there’s nothing he can’t pull off!
So Heather– hire Splash on her alone. She is the catering coordinator/​manager. best decision we could have made. The food will speak for itself and there’s no question it’s amazing but you NEED Heather as your coordinator. They like to refer to it as «day-​of coordinating» but I assure you it was way more than that. She helped us with everything from making decisions for set-​up to creating our timeline, and so so so much more. She is super responsive and answered every email within a couple of hours max. She ran our rehearsal and made everything flow so well. The day of the wedding, I was in a complete daze all day. Nerves were so high, I didn’t even know what was happening most of the time. You will be the same way! Guaranteed. Heather took charge of every aspect of our wedding. At one point she was even taking care of my 14 month old flower girl before she went down the isle. Everything was so organized and perfect. We truly believe our day was as perfect as it was because of her. I don’t know what I would have done without her. Words can’t express our gratitude. Such a blessing. Thank you Splash & thank you HEATHER!!! Love, Ashley & Alberto Chuman

We used Splash Café to cater our wedding this past weekend. Working with them was nothing short of fantastic.
If anyone has ever planned a wedding, you can understand how completely stressful and tedious it can all be. And often times when you contact a «reputable» caterer, you won’t even get a return phone call or email. That was not the case with Splash Café. Upon inquiry, I was immediately contacted by their head of catering, Heather Berkowitz who was professional and friendly and eager to work with us AND our budget to provide our 120 guests a fabulous meal and dining experience for our wedding.
We were incredibly impressed by the menu options. And for those who do not know, Splash Café is so much more than clam chowder bowls and baked goods. They offer a whole separate catering menu that will accommodate a casual dinner, to a super upscale dining experience– and something in between (like we had) to your guests.
We have received nothing but raves about the food served this past Saturday. Further more, I never felt pressured into any decisions regarding the planning process. Heather was FULL of great ideas, so many things we had not considered that would make our guests comfortable and satisfied. I was in constant contact with Heather throughout the entire 10 month planning process via email and phone. I never had to wait more than a few hours for any questions I had. Again, this rarely happens in the catering world.
There were so many moving parts and small details involving our wedding, but using Splash Café was an integral part of our day. Our wedding was a huge, HUGE success due to Heather and the lovely crew at Splash café. They were professional, helpful, friendly and so eager to make our day really special (and delicious).
Although I can’t imagine planning a party of that magnitude again, I do hope I get to use their services again sometime.
I encourage anyone and everyone to use Splash for their event. You and your guests will not be disappointed.

Always know I am going to have a good, quick meal here! The clam chowder in bread bowl is fantastic. Love the fish taco’s, come with an avocado sauce that is tasty & for me best on the side. Fish & chips are also a great choice. Large menu with many options plus the SLO location has a bakery! Fresh bread as well as pasteries. A must stop when in SLO!
I would love to see the Mini Bread Bowls (which are randomly offered) as a regular choice on the menu!!! Perfect size for me
