Wow, this place is a gem. Truly an amazing experience starting with the cool laid back decor and friendly staff & music. It’s so hard to get a dinner reservation so lunch is the next best thing! The chefs here should be recognized for making the most delicious sandwiches around! Thank you!!

This is a review for dinner at Buoy's. TLDR: It's BYOB. Food and people are fantastic. I know they're just getting started, but they still need to work on some of the details about being a restaurant. Their breakfast/lunch menu is great and this was always a natural next step for them. Glad they were able to pull it off in the space they have. The menu is set week to week and is pre fixe and "family style". We had calamari with mole, smoke white wish spread with garlic bread, bucatini al limone, an option of either lamb or fish, and salted caramel gelato for dessert. All were really good with the lamb being the standout. And the two people service us were incredibly nice and helpful and friendly. It's a really great group of people doing great things and hope to eat there again soon. That said, while we should have assumed it, and unless I missed it, it wasn't clear that the menu was family style, and the price wasn't listed (~$90/person FYI). Given that, there were no other options for anyone with allergies or food sensitivities. And that's all good, I just wish it was communicated ahead of time. I did put it in the Resy form when making the reservation, but should have called to confirm as well. If you have allergies or sensitivities, I suggest you get as much info as possible ahead of time.
