12A Buoy

Visiting from out of state and dropped in. We were told a 40 minute wait, but it was more like 20. Service was impeccable. Our server was Russell M. We ordered the Onion Straws, Lobster Alfredo pasta and Shrimp tacos. Everything was delicious. The food was cooked perfectly and presented well. Russell provided great service by refilling drinks and bringing additional ranch for onion strings. He offered feedback for suggestions and provided service with a smile. If we're ever in the area again, we'll certainly drop in. Thanks for the good experience.

Lovely place with inside and outside seating. Marisa C was our server and she was polite, kind, and attentive. I always get a few apps to share with my family because there are so many wonderful options that it’s so hard to choose! (A good problem to have) Both their lunch and dinner menus host a wide variety of entrees. Beer and wine only but they have a great sangria. I prefer the red, but I’ve had the white too.

We stopped by this cozy waterfront restaurant just before closing, and the atmosphere stole the show— live music drifting through the night, and a friendly, attentive staff that made us feel welcome. What We Loved: 
 Onion Strings: Absolutely delicious! Light, crispy, golden brown, and paired with a sauce that hit all the right notes. A must-try appetizer. The shrimp cocktail was goood. The shrimp were tender. What Missed the Mark: 
 Fried Chicken Sandwich: Moist inside, but the outer batter lacked seasoning. My husband found it bland despite being cooked well. Lobster with Crab Stuffing: The lobster was fine, but the stuffing was mostly filler with very little crab flavor. If you’re from the Mid-Atlantic, temper your expectations. Kudos to the manager for removing the stuffing from our

Had a really great lunch here the other day. The fish sandwiches are huge and delicious. The mussels were great also. And thanks toothed waitress for recommending a local IPA to me. Very good. We are thinking on moving to this area and this would be one of our regular favorites to patronize!

I visited 12A Buoy for my birthday, and it was exactly the casual, beach-side spot I was hoping for: good food, good vibes, and a relaxed atmosphere. We started with three appetizers (photos attached): Connor’s Bangin’ Shrimp: flavorful, lightly crispy, and a great shareable starter. Steamed Mussels: fresh, well-seasoned, and served with plenty of broth for dipping. Lobster Mac & Cheese: creamy, comforting, and generously portioned. For the main dishes (also pictured): The special fish of the day (I believe it was grouper) with coleslaw and French fries: simple, fresh, and nicely cooked. A ½ lb. of stone crabs, conveniently pre-cracked for easy eating. We finished with a slice of Key Lime Pie, rich, creamy, and a perfect way to wrap up the meal. Overall, the food was good and enjoyable. I’
