Buoy One

Fresh seafood and relaxed but attentive staff. The mussels were great, and the kids meals were good value: quality fish and shrimps and the chips were not too salty. Prices can be steep for some items (but to be expected for things like crabs legs in Midtown), but there are modest choices too.

Great Seafood for the Best Price in Midtown! I work in the area and actually have been wanting to come here but never really have a chance, plus every time I walk pass the restaurant, it's not that busy...so that's pause me a bit and need to do a bit more research on the place. But last Sunday, I got the request from my sister-in-law to have Lobster....after some research, for good and affordable Lobster place, I decided to come here and it was the BEST CHOICE There were 3 of us and we got here around 6 pm. We were nicely greet and feel welcoming. After seated, we decided to order 3 sets of Bouy One Combo $29. It took a while for the food to arrive but we thought that since they are steamed orders, they might take a while. The set came with one 1 1/4 lbs Lobster, one bag of steam clams, mussels and shrimps, an ear of corn and a steam potato. My sis started to dive into the lobster while I started off with the little friends in the basket. The end result, we were toooooo stuffed that we had to pack 1 set home. The only complain we had was the smell of the oil from the deep fried. That's the biggest complain from us.

So first the onion soup tasted like water. We tried to add salt, but nothing could fix it. When the waiter took away my bowl full, no one asked why. I ordered my burger medium well but what I got was so well done that ketchup, Avocado, and Cole slaw couldn't make it seem less dry. My wife thought the Blackened shrimp were small and tasted average. That said my fries were crispy and done well and the waiter was nice.

Fresh seafood all day. Great service. Baked clams are stuffed and delicious. Buffalo shrimp was also great. Will be visiting again.

Great place for eating nice and cheap seafood! The only problem is that they don’t serve alcohol.

This new seafood restaurant is OK. I had the codfish and chips. Way over priced for what you get. I've definitely had better.

Just had a very nice, mid-price lunch here. The New England clam chowder was a generous bowl, with lots of clams. Two of us shared the large cod sandwich - very fresh cod, very crispy, terrific french fries (crisp outside, creamy inside). The service was prompt and friendly. This is a new branch, open only a few weeks, with longer-running sites on Long Island. The ambiance is casual and calm.

Stopped by around 5pm on a Sunday afternoon, there was an early bird crowd already seated. What drew me in to this place were the offer of Steamers and Fried Clam bellies. Very difficult to find in Manhattan without paying an arm and a leg but definitely worth it as you don't need to sit in a car for 5 hours to New Hampshire or Maine. Ordered a 1lb of steamers and the dozen Fried Ipswich Clams with the bellies appetizer. Very nicely done, great size and tasty. Service was good, and the place was very clean. Will return for the Steamers. Had a pleasurable experience. 👍👍
