Buoys By The Bay

"We stopped here on a day trip, across the bridge. I can honestly say, it was the best dining experience I have had, in the past 4 years. The atmosphere and decor were playful and inviting. Our server was a delight of a human being and the food was top notch. We ordered the fried ravioli for an appetizer and it was delicious. My daughter and I both ordered the steak bites and they came out, perfectly…temp and all. We will definitely be back!!!"

"The atmosphere is great: nautical and upbeat. There's a nicely sized bar to sit at as well as other diverse seating options with great views of the lake. The staff was incredibly kind, friendly, and efficient. There were a lot of very interesting and delicious options on both the drinks and food menus. I had the tomato bisque with feta cheese and sundried tomatoes and it was delicious! I'd definitely recommend."

"We were in town for our one year wedding anniversary and this was our dinner to celebrate. Not often do I give reviews but this place deserves a 5 star review across the board. The prime rib with the home made horseradish sauce was hands down the best I’ve ever had and cooked correctly. The bayside Brussels sprouts were amazing with the glaze. The lobster Mac and cheese was a great serving of the dish, not shorted of lobster meat and the cheese was so amazing. We will be back!"

"Tried this place based on review photos. Hubby wanted to try it out because he saw a photo of a ribeye. We were seated right away as we were there during off season. Looked over the menu, no ribeye in sight. Hubs settled for the sirloin. I got the chicken pesto. Food arrived. Plating is interesting, everything is in one pile in the middle of your plate. If you don't like your food touching, you're in trouble lol. Hubs steak was over cooked, but edible. The food wasn't crazy hot, either. Which we thought was odd for his steak being so over done. We must've arrived at the right time as it quickly got packed to the point of turning people away because they didn't want to wait. I think they may need to work on their wait time estimates as we were almost finished, maybe 10 minutes out, if that, along with another table & these groups were being told at least 20 to 25 minutes. The food was ok, dinner options seem pricey, as they do not come with a soup or salad, but this is a "touristy" area. Would maybe come back to try a sandwich after we give some other places we haven't tried yet a shot first."

"We have visited restaurant on Labor day weekend because of good reviews. And found out that it was true. Friendly and helpful staff, food very good. We sit outside, good lake views, but was a little windy."
