    5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My partner and I celebrated our 1-year anniversary at Collective Offshore, and they truly made it unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. They were incredibly kind in helping handle our gifts, and everything—from the ambiance to the service—felt personal and thoughtful. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a romantic evening. Highly recommend this place for a date night or any special occasion!

    Service was great, all the food from 6 different people were extremely bland. NO seasoning at all. The Carolina bacon Jam wings, one would assume the jam was on the wings. The wings were fried with no seasoning and the jam was on the side. The salmon was also bland, NO seasoning. Maybe that's what the restaurant is known for but, maybe they should let patrons know that they do not use seasoning. On the other hand, my daughter has the short which she appeared to like. The ambience was good, by the water, not a loud crowd. I just cannot recommend this restaurant because of the food.

    The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Love the outside bar and the live music. Unfortunately the food is lacking. Started with calamari and cheddar bay focaccia. The calamari was tasteless, with so much excess beading on the bottom of the bowl giving the appearance of more food than was actually there. The focaccia was hard and lacked flavor. My Seared tuna salad had promise, but the dressing was thin and was missing the listed soy sauce. My partner got a burger which they enjoyed. They had to remove the crispy onions as they were not crispy and cold, the fries were also cold and tasted as if they’d been refried in an attempt to bring them back to life. I’d suggest going for drinks but even the beer was warm. I still might give drinks another try as the outside area is so nice.

    The decor is beautiful! Food was very slow in coming out. Two of us loved our meals (branzini and the shrimp salad) 2 of us thought the food was just ok (grilled Caesar salad and ahi tuna salad). Prices seemed a little steep. Will give in one more try since we lived the ambiance.

    We enjoyed our luncheon at Offshore! The crab cakes were very tasty as were our other entrees!! Some of the specialty drinks seemed expensive but we did enjoy the drinks that were offered! Our waiter Jordan was fantastic, catering to our every need!! A lovely view of the lake!! Overall an enjoyable experience!!
