    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.

    What an awesome locals place. We stopped by on a Friday night before the "regulars" come in. A…read morefriend who work in the theme parks mentioned this place. 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. STP is on my list for when we we to get away from the tourist areas without having to go across town.

    Great little neighborhood bar with sloppy taco's and hotdogs that will keep you coming back for…read moremore. They have a live band from time to time for added enjoyment. Sports bar with lots of TVs too Friendly staff to keep your glass full
