The Collective

Had an early Saturday evening dinner with the kids and grandparents and the place was very empty before the dinner rush. We sat in the main dining room, which had great views overlooking the lake. There's also a lake room that's full of windows with more views, and a map room that we didn't see but were told it's more private and secluded. The food we ordered was all fantastic and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the waygu burger for those that aren't in the seafood mood. The accompanying fries were excellent and devoured by my picky toddler. I'm not usually a fan of calamari but it was crispy without too much breading. I would've rated this visit 5-stars if not for issues on the service side. Our server was very friendly and likable, but he also appeared to be high on weed. He repeatedly forgot to bring drinks that we asked for, and later in the meal he had long stretches of being M.I.A. when the restaurant filled up with other tables. It took over 20-min for us to get the cheesecake dessert at the end of the meal because our server forgot to put the order in until he came back around to check how the dessert was. By the time the dessert order was in, the kitchen was backed up with other orders so it took even longer. We've sitting for 90-min at that point, so my toddler was getting fussy and ready to leave when the cheesecake finally arrived. It was a very small but delicious portion that was gone quickly, but we had to desperately wait for our server to walk by again in order to flag him down for the check, which somehow took another 10-min before the card was run through so we could leave. Hopefully the service issues we experienced are not the norm because the food and atmosphere are top-notch. Kid-friendliness: They have high-chairs for littles and also diaper changing tables in the bathrooms. There's a kids menu, however there are no printed kids menus nor crayons or other toys/distractions so the server must verbally tell you what the kids options are. They did not have chocolate syrup to make a chocolate milk for the kids. Hopefully they add print menus that kids can draw on in the future.

15Aug.2023 There was no wait. Seated quickly. Service was smooth and food was delicious. Drinks were great. The Wagyu burger and fries were good. The over all dining experience was great for my first time there. Very welcoming. Great music. Me and my friends will be back again. Get your mint out of the bowl before you leave for the evening. Parking: Parking garage across from the restaurant. Kid-friendliness: Spacious enough for kids and family to enjoy.

I have waited a few days to post this. We consider ourselves foodies and dine out quite a lot. I give honest reviews of all places that we try. Reservations for mother's day dinner. We were seated promptly. Server came by to take drink order. Drinks took forever to come to the table. We were told by our server that a party of 23 were just seated and to get our order in to beat that ticket going in. We placed our order promptly. Now the waiting game began again. Thirty minutes and still no apps. We were then told sorry, the other ticket made it in before us. Apologies that it was taking so long. Finally apps came out this was about 40 mins from ordering. The appetizers that we did receive were quite good. Calamari and Crab claws. Sadly it continues to go down hill. No entree's were coming out. Manager comes by to apologize and offer around of drinks. Which we declined. We noticed tables seated after us that their food is coming out in a timely manner. We brought this up with the server again apologies. Finally hour and a half later food came out served by all three mangers on duty. My entree ice cold. My husband's cold , my son's crab cake hot but garnish ice cold. Needless to say I was done at this point. My son and husband ate their entree's at this point they were starving I however refused mine. Shameful that whoever was working the pass knew that the food was cold and gave it to the mangers to serve anyway. They comped our ticket but my Mother's day dinner was ruined. We had spent almost two hours at this establishment. We gave our server a tip as it wasn't his fault. Takeaways from this experience are if they can figure out the logistics of serving the rest of the restaurant in a timely manner while attending to a large party it will flourish. It being Columbia and all. Whole experience left a bad first impression. Perhaps we will try again when they have been open longer.

Excited to try the long awaited Clyde's replacement. Atmosphere was a inviting and open nautical theme, the complete opposite to the more dark and traditional Clyde's. Service was excellent, front desk was friendly and professional. Server was attentive and engaging. Food was excellent, on taste, portion size and temp. I had the Columbia Halibut which was on point. Could have done with a little more rice, but I can appreciate the size of my fish. Drinks were also pretty solid although not as good as the food. Dessert needs a little work! I'd highly recommend checking out this place. Parking: Free parking, hit the garage or the lot parkong

I enjoy spending time at the lake and decided to try this place out, as it is fairly new. I was very pleased with the service and menu. I was seated immediately at a table of my choosing and the staff were attentive and kind. I tried the Chesapeake Arancini, Salmon Orzo Pasta I hope they add this dish to the menu permanently!!, and Lemon Bar. It was absolutely delicious!! I can’t wait to return again, it was a great experience :

From the time I was greeted by the hostess and saw how bright and airy the restaurant was, I knew it was going to be a great experience. Lucky for us, it was a nice day and we were able to enjoy lunch outside. Kyra F was our server and she was amazing!!! Very attentive and we never had to ask for anything. The food was fresh bruschetta and the food temperature was perfect scallops & corn. I will definitely be back and will ask for Kyra!!!

Each bite takes you on a journey of flavors that evoke the freshness of the ocean. The restaurant's dedication to quality ingredients and skilled preparation is evident in every dish. A visit to The Collective Offshore is a must for seafood enthusiasts looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure.

Forgot to take photos before we started eating An excellent spot for dinner! Great atmosphere and food. Everything we ordered was flavorful and prepared very well. The service was also great. The Food: We ordered the peel and eat shrimp to share and three entrees. Bucatini was a good portion size, the Halibut Columbia Catch tasted great and while the halibut portion was excellent, it could have used more vegetables on the side. Finally, the scallops were also great and prepared well but overall felt like it could have also had a vegetable side. What I’d loved to see changed: The descriptions on the food - scallops should say “topped with” crispy carrots because the description made it sound like a side. The halibut also sounded like it came with a side of asparagus but it was actually just two pieces. We also ordered a side of scallops which came with three - and we felt that it should have been four at the size that was served the value for what we paid was off - could have just ordered a fourth entree for a few bucks more There just needed to be more veggies/stuff in all the entrees. Either raise the price and include a side, or decrease price on a la carte sides. Finally, we hope they add more options on the menu. There’s not enough options to come as a regular, but if we’re in the mood for halibut or scallops we’d come back. Overall, would recommend and will be back!

We absolutely loved the ambiance of Offshore. Service, food, place was spectacular.The staff was amazing and helpful. Chef stop by to compliment the cake and cookies brought in for the baby shower as favors. Demitian opened doors a few minutes early and brought us a wagon to haul the decorations in. Everyone and everything was spectacular! Parking: Parking sits above the restaurant. Steps and ramps provided to get down to restaurant. Service entrance for any haul of supplies. Plentiful,close and free parking Kid-friendliness: Brought kid’s chicken fingers and fries

This restaurant just opened about 3 weeks ago. The food was very good. We had the chicken wings and bread basket with the old bay butter. The the Halibut with rice. and Mahi Mahi with a lobster hash. Nice and clean inside. Our waiter, Jordan, was very attentive. Will definitely go back.Food: 5/5
