Food: Overpriced blandness defined

There term 'creative' hardly applies here as each menu item is an ill-advised fusion, more confusing than appealing. True to their form, portions are disappointingly small and underwhelming. Shrimps that should be hot emerge cold and vegetables presumably fresh, tasted once frozen. The overall blandness and high prices make for an unpalatable combo.

  • Bad Taste

    Food portions were small, overpriced, bland, underwhelming, and disappointing.

Vibe: Enthralling ambience with a view

But, Offshore 9 Rooftop dazzles patrons with its impressive ambiance, comfortable seating, chic designs and perfect lighting. The live music lends to memorable dining experiences, made all the more breathtaking by stunning sunsets and expansive ocean vistas. Despite the tourist inundation, dates here still maintain an intimate, cozy feel.

  • Great Views

    Breathtaking views, especially stunning sunsets and scenic ocean vistas.

  • Negative Buzz

    Overrun by tourists, lacks local vibe, hard to get good seats.

Perks: First come, first serve chaos

In terms of perks, the lack of reservations system render seating a 'first come, first served' extravaganza, unbecoming of a place of its stature. Adding to the inconvenience is the far-off parking and the noise from live music overwhelming any table conversations. Large groups are better off elsewhere as securing spaces can be a herculean task.

  • Great Outdoor

    Comfortable seating and fire pits offer a cozy, relaxing experience.

  • Bad For Groups

    Gets packed quickly, difficult for large groups to secure space.
