    Luke was very friendly and very accommodating even though the night was busy due to the high volume of traffic that’s found on Valentine’s Day. He was very aware and attentive the entire evening. My girlfriend and I would love to be seated in his section in the future.

    We went here for Valentine’s Day and it was 6 of us. First when I called about the pre fixed menu Karrie was soooo friendly and informative on the phone. None of us have ever been there as we were hoping the reviews were as good as they said! We all ordered off the Prix fix menu. Started with salads. Caesar salad and the offshore collective salad were both delicious. The 3 men got the short rib. 2 of the girls for the Branzino fish. I got these tickets stuffed shrimp with pasta. Oh my goodness all of the entrees were awesome. Then the dessert that was included was to die for!!! It was Dulce de leche (chocolate) and it came with real whipped cream and strawberries! Delicious!!!! The service was great. And they even gave us a rose at the end of the night. The price was fantastic for everything you got! $99 for 2 people for all of that. We will definitely be back when the weather is warmer to see the water outside!!

    The seafood dish my son and I ordered that was supposed to have crab in It had a meniscal/tiny amount that could barely be seen. Very expensive to barely have seafood in it. Portion was small as well. Beautiful by the lake though.

    Enjoyed the food and ambience, we sat towards the left part of the restaurant and only one other table was there so it was fairly quiet but still got to enjoy the live music. Crab dip was sensational and enjoyed the braised short ribs as well, good portion sizes as my wife ordered the chicken sandwich and it was huge. Server was very attentive , will definitely be back.

    For our first visit to Offshore, my wife and I arrived early for our 6:30 reservations. We were told no tables would be available until 6:30 and we would have to wait near the hostess stand, where there was no place to sit down. We asked if we could get a drink at the bar while we waited for our table but were denied, even though there were empty seats at the bar. After a while, we were offered a crappy 4-top table in the bar area. We requested a booth but were told there were none available. We decided to wait for a booth and were ultimately seated at a table at the back of the restaurant with one bench seat and one chair (no big deal). As we were seated, the hostess told us they were overbooked that night and did not plan for one of the servers to call out, resulting in the ensuing chaos. It took 20 minutes for a server to take our drink order and the appetizers arrived before our cocktails. The entrees took forever to arrive, despite our server's repeated assurance that they would be right out. When they arrived, they were not hot. We chose the Restaurant Week prix fixe menu which included appetizer, entree, and dessert. The appetizers and entrees were delicious but the two options for dessert included a vegan creme brulee, which was inedible to us who are not vegan. Finally, given the name of the restaurant, we were expecting more seafood entree options instead of the very few offered. Overall, a very disappointing experience.
