The story
Crafted with passion, served with love
Seafood in the Heart of the Midwest
Splash Seafood Bar & Grill has established itself as a destination for seafood in Des Moines, Iowa — no small feat in a landlocked state. Located on Locust Street in the heart of downtown, it draws diners who come specifically for the kind of coastal-inspired cooking that's rarely found this far from the coasts.
A Wine List Worth Noting
Wine Spectator recognized Splash with its Award of Excellence, a distinction that speaks to the restaurant's commitment to pairing quality wines alongside its seafood-forward menu. That kind of recognition matters in a dining room where the interplay between a well-chosen glass and a well-prepared plate is clearly taken seriously.
An Evening Out
Splash operates as a dinner destination, positioning itself as a place for occasions and unhurried evenings. The bar and grill format suggests both a convivial energy at the bar and a more composed experience in the dining room — the kind of place that works equally well for a solo seat at the bar or a table with friends.
For anyone seeking genuine seafood in Des Moines, Splash remains one of the city's most recognized names.
