Beautiful location compared to their previous location. Plenty of parking, great staff and great food consistently. Say hi to Reba, the coolest chill bartender or Georgia, who's a fantastic waitress... All the staff have been awesome in fact. Must try the stuffed oysters. Great indoor/ outdoor seating. Ideal for couples, corporate events, fundraisers and anyone that want the entire package that consists of location on the Riverwalk, great staff and delicious food.

We stopped here on a Sunday in October for lunch while traveling. A friend recommended we try it.
We sat a the bar. There weren’t many other people here when we arrived. A few more came in while we had lunch. The bartender gave us menus upon sitting down and took our drink orders. We each had the New England clam chowder and a salad for lunch. I had the house salad with shrimp. The soup was good. The salad was just ok for me. I thought the shrimp was a little overcooked. I did like the salad dressing- balsamic. The harvest salad had a good amount of seafood on it. The shrimp were cooked better on this salad.
Our bartender was nice and she was attentive. The atmosphere was easygoing and laidback. It was quiet since not many were here but they have a lot of natural light from windows which livened it up.
Pricing was comparable to other seafood restaurants we have been to recently. Parking is a shared lot with other businesses and we had no issues finding a spot.

We had dinner there last night. The food was great. Their stuffed oysters were the best we’ve ever had. Everything else was great too. My only complaint is that the owner needs to really advertise and show some signage of where this place is. It was virtually dead/empty. People need to know where to find you. You are finally in a great spot. Much bigger and people need to know where you are. Put some signs up and advertise your place like crazy on social media. Wishing you the best of luck in your new spot. We will be back!!!

We had lunch which included delicious and light cod fish sandwich with french fries that were crunchy on the outside and perfect on the inside. Bucket of mussels were very good. Last it not least was the wonderful table service provided by a professional & friendly waitress by the name of Georgia. I definitely recommend Buoy 1.

Beware!!! They cheated on the bill, waitress added $10 to her tip. We left $9.50 via debt and she added an additional $10.00. Will never go back.
WOW! What a disaster! We used to like Buoy One when it was at the old location. We just stopped in from a trip out east to have a late lunch. We were happy to see that they had fried whole clam bellies on the menu. my wife and I shred a bucket of steamers and an order of the clams. first the steamers were horrible, most of them were overcooked and mushy. As far as the clams, you get about 10 small clams and nothing else and I am not sure what they use for coating, but it was sweet tasting and not very appetizing and the cost for the clams was $40 a complete ripoff. If you want fried whole belly clams, Bigelows is 1000 times better.

Food is still amazing — my family has been coming here for over 20 years. But the service on my recent visit was incredibly disappointing. I was part of a group of four. Even though our order was incorrect, we paid in cash and I left a cash tip. As I was leaving, a staff member (older woman, late 40s–50s) followed me out to accuse me of not paying my full bill (around $78–$80). I walked back in with her, and once she counted the money, it was clear everything was covered — including the tip. Rather than apologize, she then told me I ‘didn’t leave at least a 20% tip.’ I work in the restaurant industry — tipping is not mandatory, and no customer should be publicly called out or embarrassed over it, especially when service was subpar to begin with. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and unprofessional. Extremely disappointed after years of loyalty.
