    Won’t be back unless you want to sit at the bar. I was wondering why I could get reservations at any time on a Saturday but couldn’t anywhere else. Service by the bartender was terrible. Place emptied out at 8, and they started cleaning up although the place closes at 11. Got the lobster roll, but it was more about how much butter they put on it vs the lobster itself. My wife got the salmon and thought it was OK. Drinks were the only thing worth coming back for. Way too expensive for mediocre food and lackluster service. Go somewhere else.

    Got the shrimp wrap and tacos. They were meh. They weren’t bad they weren’t great. They were fine. The service was good and the ambiance was great. Wish the food was a bit better.

    The food was excellent at Offshore. I had the crab cakes with smashed potatoes. It was seasoned well not bland at all. I would highly recommend this dish. I also had calamari and crab dip and both apps were tasty. My parents had the short ribs also excellent. I will definitely be going back. I highly recommend eating here and the view of the lake is serene. The restaurant is very clean and staff were super nice!

    The restaurant was nicely located with a beautiful view of the lake. A DJ showed up mid way through our brunch which was a nice surprise. The scrambled eggs were salty. The home fries were OK, but it was odd that they also had a version of the home fries with bits of steak. I feel like they could have chosen a better option instead of the variation of home fries with steak included. The fruit display was rather small although other guests at my table commented at how good the fruit was on the platter. I passed because the selection was rather small and certain fruit options were already eaten. The fried rice with the flavour of chilli was good and the salmon was OK. The baked French toast was tasty. Overall I would have liked more options for the buffet. It was a rather small buffet when I compare it to Founding Father’s in Tyson’s Corner.

    The ambiance was beautiful and our server was very attentive and kind. The food however left more to be desired, didn’t have enough flavor for me. But the drinks were great !
