Panini Cafe Taking Splash Space

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.

    This place is great. I love the chicken Kabobs.

    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.
