Word is chain Panini Cafe, which is also in Beverly Hills, is taking the place of the long-closed Splash Spa at the corner of West 3rd Street and Crescent Heights. Would prefer an affordable non-chain restaurant myself. Have never eaten there, so can’t make much of a culinary critique. Has anyone been/eaten there? Thoughts?

i’ve eaten at the one on ventura blvd. it’s not bad, pretty decent sandwiches. kinda reminds me of breadbar. they’re very big on the bread.
i think at this point anything is better than the seedy splash spa.

I have eaten at the one in Beverly Hills a few times. The food is pretty good, I liked it. Especially if you are looking for a greek salad or kabab. They have a semi focus on organic and healthy choices and mediteranian foods.
I am glad that this is going in. However, I am confused cause I was talking to Ben who owns Quality and he said that Splash was unuseable cause there is no parking.

Can I soak while I eat?

I agree that absolutely antything is better than the crumbling mess that’s there now.
I’m not sure if it’s unuseable because of parking problems, but it might be unuseable because of a decade of accumulated jacuzzi detrituts. It’s like you’d have to environmentally remediate the place to make it safe for food service!

eh this place has awful cheesy decor and i can’t imagine it being that good. I’m pretty disappointed that this is going in (couldn’t doughboys expand there!), but alas it is better than the decrepit splash.

Splash Spa was a filthy place. The building will have to be torn down. Panini is great food, very clean and excellent service. It’s time 3rd. street cleaned up thier act.

Not only is Panini food good but oh my I am so happy it WON’T be a Dough Boys. Dough Boys = gross yucky food.

[...] not-so-pretty for ages, but they’re finally starting to gut the place with the Panini Cafe coming in. Share [...]
