About

The Buoy is all about the location, offering stunning lake views that keep people coming back. Many enjoy the casual vibe and fish tacos, though the pricing is a frequent point of contention. Service is generally friendly, but can be overwhelmed during peak tourist season. It is a classic spot for a drink by the water.
