    Onion rings
    Marni M.

    Spending some time by the hotel's pool, my sister and I decided to grab some drinks and a basket of onion rings. She wasn't a fan of her skinny margarita since it was still too sweet but also very sour. I liked my virgin pina colada since it was well blended and creamy. We were happy with the onion rings since they were thick and crisp. I like it when there's an even portion of onion to batter ratio and especially if they're on the thicker side. Overall, we had a pleasant experience since our waiter was kind and checked in regularly. Unfortunately, the whole pool area including Splendido had to close due to an impending thunder storm so keep an eye out for the weather if you come here!

    Nice poolside bar with pool loungers service. We were able to get food and drinks while sitting in our loungers in the sand by pool. Drinks and food were good as well as the service by the servers. Very convenient for parents sitting poolside while their children play in the pool.

    Turkey club - very good
    Melissa P.

    I stayed at this hotel and ordered the turkey club, which was great. It was a large portion and came with a side (your choice of salad, fruit salad, fries, onion rings). I got the side salad, which was average. Everything tasted fresh and pretty good for a pool restaurant.

    As pool side restaurants go this one meets expectations, an assortment of sandwiches, salads and sides. Service was okay but kind of slow, 30 minutes with a guaranteed 18% gratuity. Ultimately if you're looking for a drink poolside this is fine, but as a sit down restaurant you've got better options.

    I'm so confused. The hours say 8 pm that it closes The pool is packed. They have closed at 6 pm for the past two nights. Most people come to the pool around 5ish after parks and want dinner while the kids swim. So taking my dinner plans off property. The hotel's loss.

    Ordered food and drinks from Splendido on Tuesday afternoon. Not worth going out of your way for, but a fine option when hanging out by the pool. Quality: Splendido is attached to the pool at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. If you are chilling by the water for a while, you are likely to grab something from this bar. I ended up with both a Frozen Pina Colada and a Frozen Mango Daiquiri. Two decent versions of the classic drinks that worked well on a warm day. I was less enthusiastic about the Chicken Splash Nachos we ordered. While the chopped bacon was a fun addition, I found the sour cream had a strange texture and the cheddar cheese sauce a poor substitute for queso or shredded cheese. I also wouldn't recommend the addition of chicken, it was cold and soggy. Quantity: Decent sized drinks, but unsurprisingly light on alcohol. The Chicken Splash Nachos are large and can easily be shared between two or three people. Value: $15 for a Frozen Pina Colada. $15 for a Frozen Mango Daiquiri. $20 for the Chicken Splash Nachos. Ambiance: Splendido is located in the pool area of Universal's Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. It is located in a small hut, just right of the entrance to the pool. They have a tiny bar and some tables surrounding it. However, they also circulate staff around the pool to take orders and deliver drinks wherever you are relaxing. Anywhere you sit you will get nice views of the well-designed pool area, but there are definitely better spots than the actual dining area. Crowd: The dining area was empty, and the pool was quiet on Tuesday afternoon. I imagine during summer months and on the weekends, it gets crazy. Service: Much better than I expected. They had two or three waiters constantly circling the pool to bring out food and drinks. Friendly and fast, they did an excellent job at keeping glasses full. Parking: Self-Parking at the hotel is $28.

    Great service. We ordered from here every day we stayed at the hotel and our cabana boys and girls were working their butts off. The food was good too! The nachos are HUGE. Get the souvenir cup and save money on refills.

    Such a fun spot for happy hour! We came in ready to relax and left already planning our next visit…read more The drink specials were generous and the vibe was warm and lively without being too loud to actually talk. Hands down the star of the show was the shrimp dish, perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best we've had in a while. We ended up ordering a second round just to enjoy it a little longer. Service was friendly and attentive the whole time, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great happy hour with a standout menu item, The Whyskey delivers. We'll definitely be back!

    We popped over here for lunch on a Saturday around two in the afternoon. We were very surprised…read morewith how busy it was as it's typically not that busy on Saturday afternoons. We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

    Birthday celebration turned into a major disappointment…read more I chose Arcade Monsters for my 41st birthday after calling and visiting beforehand to ask about the bar. I specifically asked whether they served Tito's vodka with soda and lime and was told they had a full bar. That was a deciding factor in booking. During the party, drinks were served without anyone explaining that the "liquor" was wine-based. I only learned that after ordering my third drink. My guests and I had been led to believe they were getting actual spirits, and it was embarrassing to have to explain the difference after the fact. The food was just as disappointing. The chicken nuggets were so bad we threw them away, and a guest told me their child became sick after eating the pizza. The private room was hot, and the fans blew napkins and other things around the table. I spent more than $800 on the room, food, drinks, admission, and fees. The only part of the event that went as expected was admission. I contacted management to request a refund for the non-admission charges and have not received a response to my follow-up asking what they intend to do. This was supposed to be a special birthday celebration. Instead, the bar was misrepresented, the food was poor, the room was uncomfortable, and management has left my complaint unanswered. I would not book a private event here again.

It's past most of the theme parks life areas so you are eating a a locals place. Food: * Overall - lots of things to choose from * Nachos - large portion of nachos smothered in cheese - this would have been enough for both of us for dinner just by itself * Tacos - the tacos were good we tried both the beef and steak (slight rockstar) - both were plentiful and delicious * Beans and Rice - seasoned perfectly - I've not had anything close anywhere else - they were worth the drive * Drinks - Large margaritas that are flavorful The atmosphere is a bit like a dive bar. There is lots of seating and even an outdoor patio. If you sit near the front door you will see a couple of the local cats peaking in on you. There are TVs for sports fans and the staff was very attentive. We had multiple people check on us multiple times.

The prices are reasonable and the service was amazing. Out waiter was extremely personable and helpful. I tried the blackened salmon with a double order of mashed potatoes. I was nervous about the fried onion on top of the mashed potatoes but they give them a really good texture. I don't think I need as many next time but it was good. The mashed potatoes themselves tasted like sour cream was added, which is a plus. That's how I make mine at home. This whole meal was delicious and seasoned very well. Id try this place again if I were here a few more days. Will be on the lookout for it in the future.

I think it was before noon or something, maybe to get the earlier brunch crowd. Well, it worked. The seafood platter was a nice mix of shrimp, oysters, lobster, and some sushi and seared tuna. The sushi was a nice touch to provide some carbs needed for shopping. One miss was the overcooked lobster which was tough. The Brûlée Cheesecake was amazing and made me think that every dessert should have the wait-staff asking "would you like that bruleep'd"? Imagine, Jello Brûlée, Chocolate Cake Brûlée, Macaron brûlée, Carrot Cake Brûlée, Key Lime Pie Brûlée, Peanut Buster Parfait Brûlée (it rhymes too), and Baklava Brûlée I'd order that. I may try Jello Brûlée at home! Why not?
