Our server Chris was great from start to finish. He gave some great recommendations on what dishes we should try since it was our first time there. We loved the small plates concept and being able to share and taste a bunch of dishes. The short rib empanadas…. all I can say is WOW! Every dish was thoughtfully crafted, with flavors that complemented each other beautifully. Each bite was a perfect balance of richness, freshness, and seasoning — you could really tell the ingredients were high quality and handled with care. The flavor pairings were creative yet comforting, making every course exciting without being overwhelming. It was such a great experience we came back two days later to do it all over again!

Fantastic food and service. Everything was delicious but the main highlights for me were the broccoli croquettes and the sweet corn agnolotti. If I had to pick a low point, I’d say the empanadas. They’re not bad by any means but they were the least exciting dish by a fairly wide margin.

We had an anniversary dinner at Buccan last night. I had been trying to get a reservation during this time for a couple years now and finally was able to snag a later time. All my high expectations were met. There's complimentary valet at the front door which was fast and friendly. We arrived about 5 mins early and got seated right away. The ambience is a very casual but energetic feel to the entire room. Some people wearing coats and some dressed more casually. All in all, everyone you could tell was very happy to be eating there. It was VERY loud when we first got there because there was a party in the other room with a lot of people but by the end of our meal it was much quieter and we didn't have to talk very loud to hear each other. Our waiter Francisco was amazing and had a great personality. He was very attentive and never had to look for him. I had already done my research so I knew what to order but he was great in his suggestions. The food came at a very good pace starting with the short rib enpanadas which we originally just ordered a single one to split but they ended up giving us 2 on accident and said was on the house. The enpanadas were very good. The texture of the meat was more finely chopped than I've ever had before with enpanadas but the crisp and flavors were great. Next came the crispy duck leg confit. This was wonderful and was the best duck I've had in south Florida. There is an asian flavor to it with the green onion soubise and the sourdough pancake which reminded me of an asian scallion pancake. It was so good I would have ordered a second order if I didn't want to try a lot more stuff from the menu. The burrata was next with great toast and prosciutto butter. The mint they used really gave this a refreshing and palette cleansing element to it which was nice after the somewhat heavy enpanadas and duck. We ended up packing half of it since we wanted to bring some of the food in general home so the kids could try it. At that time, Francisco made it known that the next course might be a little later than expected since he didn't ask to fire the next dishes yet because he thought we'd eat all of the burrata. The food came very timely but I'm pointing this out because the food comes out fresh, hot, and just cooked unlike some of the reviews I saw. The final 2 dishes came out at the same time. We had the Corn Agnolotti and the Hand rolled Busiate w/ lobster. I love all lobster dishes so I really enjoyed the Busiate and the very uniquely rolled pasta but it was probably the least unique dish of the night. But the corn agnolotti lived up to expectations. It was incredibly good and obvious why this is their signature dish. I'm not a fan of tortellini/ravioli/etc pasta normally because of the ricotta but the butter/corn in the agnolotti made the ricotta a little less grainy and a very good texture. I felt like I was eating more of a corn dumpling at times with just a tiny bit of juices which was very pleasing to me. We took some of this home as well and Francisco packed after each serving for us. We finished it off with the Butterfinger desert which was their own made peanut/caramel chocolate bar with coconut ice cream. The bar was fantastic with a lot of great peanut, chocolate, and caramel flavor and the ice cream surprisingly was like an icy sorbet and only had a slight hint of coconut flavor. The ice cream was there not for flavor but to create a cool icy texture in tandem with the chocolate bar bit. It lessened the sweetness which was a great balance for the dish overall. Eating the bar by itself was extremely sweet so it was good to have the ice cream in each bite. To do so, we had ordered an extra scoop of coconut ice cream since many people had recommended it in other reviews I saw. Definitely do it. Overall Buccan might be the best restaurant we've gone to in Palm Beach County. The food was top for sure and we had a good time. The price is at the right level too so highly recommend and we'll definitely be going back many times if I can get the reservations.

The food was heavenly! Every bite was excellent. Mushrooms and truffles portions were very generous. Impeccable service. Kim was taking care of us. She was great. Vine glass was never empty- you think you might run out- it gets refilled. Skipped the desert, so no comments. However, the tea and coffee were perfect- hot and flavorful! If I had to complain, I would say - very fast service. The minute we finished the course, the next one comes. I can’t wait to come back!

They are simply so consistent. Their food quality. Their standards. Their service. Cocktails are so well balanced. Only thing I don’t like is how they basically force me to order the sweet corn agnolotti every time I come. It’s such an amazing dish with robust flavor. Will be a lifelong customer.

By far, this was the best meal over a three- week stay in Florida.  We started our journey with fresh and flavorful fish tacos.  We shared the Lions mane mushroom salad.  It was a bit heavy on the soy sauce.  I wouldn't order it again.  The grilled Branzino was phenomenal, and melted in my mouth after being cooked to perfection. My guests shared a NY strip with great satisfaction. The kitchen here clearly has incredibly high quality standards, as everything was plated with care and creativity. The service was on point and the staff worked in tandem supporting each other. Buccan has an insanely good wine list, especially if you have stacks of cash to trade in for exquisite grape juice. We opted for some affordable yet excellent NZ Sauvignon Blanc The cocktails also deserve merit, as they are well balanced and priced fairly. Can't wait for the next visit!!

Upscale without being pretentious. Food is delicious. The empanadas and tacos were a great way to start. The Lions Mane salad is unique and tasty.

Buccan Sandwich Shop: A West Palm Beach Gem Tucked away in West Palm Beach, Buccan Sandwich Shop stands as a testament to how extraordinary a simple sandwich can be. This popular eatery has earned its reputation as a must-visit spot for locals and visitors alike, evidenced by the lines that often stretch 50 people deep outside its doors. The carpaccio sandwich deserves special mention as one of the most memorable sandwiches I've had in recent memory. The delicate, thinly sliced beef is perfectly seasoned and layered between fresh bread with complementary ingredients that enhance rather than overwhelm the star protein. What makes the experience even more delightful is their thoughtful to-go presentation. Each sandwich comes in a lunchbox packed with wonderful extras – a crisp dill pickle that provides the perfect palate cleanser between bites, and a chocolate chip cookie that would impress even the most discerning cookie connoisseur. The cookie strikes that ideal balance of crisp edges and chewy center, with chocolate chips that melt just enough to create a harmonious texture. It's clear why Buccan Sandwich Shop commands such a devoted following. From the quality of ingredients to the careful preparation and generous extras, every detail shows a commitment to creating an exceptional dining experience, even when enjoyed on the go.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I recently had the pleasure of dining here with a group of work colleagues, and the entire experience was truly refreshing. From the initial reservation phone call a month in advance to the exceptional service and delicious food, every aspect of our visit exceeded expectations. Our hostess was warm and welcoming, and our server, Victoria, was outstanding. She expertly handled our group's diverse personalities and dietary needs, offering spot-on recommendations for the tapas. We thoroughly enjoyed our selections, which included the tuna tartare, lobster ceviche, sashimi, yellowtail snapper, steak, carrot salad, and scallops. The meal concluded with a soothing Jasmine tea and a delightful orange gelato that tasted like a childhood favorite. The valet service was also helpful and efficient. Overall, I highly recommend this establishment for its exceptional service, varied and flavorful menu options, and welcoming atmosphere. We can't wait to return! Enjoy! (I wasn't able to take photos as I didn't want to appear rude with this group.)

Oooh man! This food hit the spot after a long travel day! I did a carry out that I ordered when I landed and it was ready when I got to Buccan. I will be back the next time I'm in West Palm Beach! I can't really speak to customer service as I did it online and interacted shortly when they brought my food out, but based on the quality of their food I would expect the experience to match.

This is most definitely not a restaurant that you'll be able to dine in without a reservation so definitely advise making one in advance! We made our reservation for 7:45 (prime time) so to no one's surprise, this place was packed like sardines. Which is and had always been, off putting for me, however, it speaks to how great the restaurant is. We were seated about 15 minutes after our reservation but service was quick. We were immediately given water and our waiter was getting our drink order ready within minutes of being seated. I had the bathtub gin (very heavy on the cucumber) and my fiancé had their Cuban Espresso cocktail which was reposado based. Both were good but I definitely think they could have dialed down on the cucumber for mine. We ended up skipping appetizers since I came in with a plan to have multiple desserts and didn't want to spoil that. For dinner I had their burger which was fantastic! And my fiancé had their sweet corn agnolotti which was clearly a staple at the restaurant since so many others around us ordered it as well. For the real reason we came- we had their cookies and then their bananas foster cake. Both were delicious! All in all, it was a great restaurant. A little too bustling for my taste but still a lovely experience.

By far my favorite place to eat on the island. Easy valet parking, amazing atmosphere with the best dishes and services. All around 10/10 never have a problem and the corn agnolotti is the best dish I've tasted. Simply amazing. Must try: hot dog panini and the corn agnolotti

This restaurant was the poster child of what an upscale high end fantastic restaurant should be like. We were like to get reservation for Saturday dinner. The restaurant was packed in the evening. Inside is decent, with an open dining area and a bar on the side. Free valet service is offered to guests at the door. I was very excited to try several item from the menu. Started with the crispy duck leg. It was so soft that the meat came off of the bone as soon we touched it with knife. Then I got the scallops, again so perfectly cooked, with moist center and little brownish outside, served on top of delicious butternut squash and lardons. We also ordered the filet mignon (medium rare plus), one of the nest steaks I ever had. It was so tender and so tasty. They out did some of the most popular steak houses we had been in. It was incredible how fast all these amazing dishes came out from kitchen. We waited less than 15 minutes for all these amazing dishes including the steak. Their service was top notch, our waiter was a pro. Time to time they came to fill up all our glasses of water, cleaned crumbles from the table, and gave us new utensils for each course. I was thoroughly impressed with Buccan, for sure it was one of my best dining experience. Would for sure visit again if we are in West Palm Beach.

Our best meal in WPB! What an incredible meal with great service! We listened to our waiters recommendations and they were all spectacular. I would definitely recommend you cannot skip the empanadas, burrata salad, and the sweet corn Agnolotti. Just outstanding we left so full and happy! It was an incredible place to celebrate our anniversary with the nice ambiance and meal!

Do you want a three star Michelin dining experience for a fraction of the cost? This is your restaurant! There is complementary valet out front for dinner. The staff is absolutely amazing very attentive and very fun. The service was better than what we've had at some Michelin star restaurants. It was our anniversary and they had a very special surprise for us at the end of the night. Really loved the staff. The food was incredible! You must try some of their empanadas which are made in house as a starter, and from there, everything on the menu, we tried was great. The raviolis were definitely a highlight, super sweet and tender. Our waiter recommended the banana Foster's cake which we were very happy we got. Overall, one of the best dining experiences we've ever had in Florida, if you are in the area, you have to stop by !

Came in for an anniversary dinner on a Sunday night. Place was packed at 8pm much to our surprise since outside was quiet. I had a reservation so waited like 2 minutes, which was great. Started off we 3 apps that my wife & I shared. We had Grilled Carrot Salad, Roasted Red Beet Hummus and the Steak Tartare. These were all good but our favorite of the trio was the Carrot Salad. It was so good, much to our surprise. MUST GET! We also ordered a bottle of white Italian wine to wash it down with. By the time we got to an entree we were getting full. So we opted to split a pasta dish. We went with Sweet Corn Agnolotti as others by us seemed to order the same. We got the smaller portion which was perfect for a pit filling bellies. It was good, different, had a sweet and savory taste to the pasta. Definitely different and worth a try. Would I get it again, probably not. We finished off with their famous warmed chocolate chip cookies dessert. It was probably my favorite thing! It was so good! Especially with the side of ice cream. Our service was excellent. Our waitress was on top of things and timed everything perfectly. Great spot to check out.

We went for a celebratory dinner and everything was phenomenal! I loved my bathtub gin drink and my husband got their old fashion which he enjoyed too. A little sweetness that u even enjoyed it. We started w the tuna tartare crisps. Mouth watering and a must. It comes w 3 and we ordered a 4th. Note: it's additional $8 for the extra one, would've been nice to know that before the bartender asked us if we wanted to add it. We also got the short rib empanada, and that was phenomenal as well. I had the snapper Asian dish. This had a tangy flavor that I did get tired of halfway through the meal. I do think it would be a good idea to share this if you do want it. The fish was delicious fresh and flaky. My husband ordered the chicken large plate and we loved his. We ended the meal with a shared dessert, called the 100 grand. This was very rich, but delicious!! ask for extra ice cream if you can.

What can I say this place never disappoints. Everything was amazing. I got the key lime Martini, I don't even care for key lime but this drink was so good and the key lime didn't over power the drink. I also had the Passionate One with the rose cold foam,amazing as well. I got the warm carrot plum salad with farro. The burger was made just right med rare with fries and the banana Foster. You can not go wrong with anything on this menu. There were a few new dishes since I was here back in August. Our waitress was super friendly, ininformative and attentive. It's either valet or parking app to pay to park.

Buccan is easily one of the top 5 restaurants in Florida, hands down. We go here regularly and especially love their wine night on Mondays--it's always a fantastic experience. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the food is absolutely phenomenal. I really appreciate that they switch up the menu seasonally, keeping things fresh and exciting, with flavors that never disappoint. The staff here is wonderful, especially at the hostess stand--they're always friendly and accommodating, setting the tone for a great evening. If you're looking for exceptional food, a great vibe, and an all-around amazing dining experience, Buccan is a must-visit!

I was very disappointed with my experience at Buccan this evening, especially after having such a wonderful meal next door at Imoto. On my way out, I decided to stop by Buccan's bar, which was bustling at 7 PM. Fortunately, I found a seat next to a gentleman who was also dining alone. We shared the tuna tartare, the new chicken dish, and the duck tacos, all of which were excellent. During our time there, the gentleman kindly ordered a glass of wine for me while I stepped away to use the restroom. When I returned, I decided not to drink it and left it untouched. However, when the bill arrived, the waitress, a blonde with a bob haircut, charged me seprately for the wine, even though I neither ordered nor drank it. The gentleman asked the bartender to add the wine to his tab, and we politely questioned why I was being charged for something I didn't order. Although the waitress eventually corrected the bill, another bartender with long brunette hair approached me shortly afterward to justify their actions. She insisted that they couldn't have known the wine should be on his tab, even though he explicitly ordered it during my absence. This incident left a sour impression on what had otherwise been a pleasant evening. While the food was fantastic, the staff's handling of the situation and their unnecessary insistence turned a simple misunderstanding into a bigger issue than it needed to be. The matter should have been resolved and left alone, but instead, their approach detracted from the overall experience.

The best Filet mignon I have ever had. So soft and cooked perfectly for through whole filet. Branzino is amazing too. Bones out. Pan fried. With the sauce. It's absolutely wonderful execution. Squid ink orecchiette seems to be a popular choice from the table as well. The flavor has a little punch(spicy?). overall great dish. Service is 5/5. We had a big group and all items came out on time with no issue. They came over to top of the water, order more drinks etc. Definitely recommend the restaurant for date nights, family gatherings and just have good time.

The food is always , so many creative dishes, and such great . The service is always top notch. You can maybe be considered a little pricey, but it's one of the places that I definitely would say the price is well spent. Ambience is wonderful, attention to detail and care is taken with the establishment. We always look forward to a meal here.

Came here with my bestie the night of July 4th. Sat at the bar. Busy place! Great server at the bar. Gave us great recommendations. Definitely will return. The homemade pasta with mushrooms and truffle was unreal. Was also fun to sit and watch people walk in and check out their Palm Beach fashion. I get why this place is HOT for great food.

This is one of those meals that will live rent free in my members for a long time. A meal where every bite of food was amazing. I tried the mushroom spring roll and the mustard went perfect with it. The short ribs empanadas were one of the best. So flavorful and a nice and puffy shell. We had the sweet corn pasta and that was so unique and so amazing. Finally the scallops which were great as well. There seems to be a mixture of cultures and flavors which blended so well together. The service was very good, from explaining the menu to making sure our table was clear. The atmosphere was very nice, just note as the restaurant begins to fill it does get a little loud. Overall I hope to go back one day!

Great spot! We came for my sister's birthday dinner, and had a fabulous experience! Will go down as one of our favorite meals ever. Karissa was our waitress, and she was so attentive, helpful, and friendly. We loved her! The vibes were so nice in there. It is a smaller setting that is very intimate and beautifully decorated. To start, we got the spicy pork tacos and short rib empanadas. We also got the Parmesan fries. The short rib empanadas were so unique and delicious. We loved them! The Parmesan fries were so yummy too, and we loved the house made sauce! For dinner, my sister Clara got the churasco steak, and it was so unique with the avocado and salsa. My husband got the pork chop, and he enjoyed that as well. My dad got the snapper and he said it had a great flavor. My mom also enjoyed her lobster pasta. Our favorite entrees were the shrimp ceviche (was so fresh) that my middle sister got, and the corn agnolotti. Both were so flavorful! The agnolotti was super unique, we had never had anything like that. It was sweet but with a perfect salty crunch with the bacon. For dessert, we got the 100 grand bar, the chocolate chip cookies, the tropical cheese cake and the butter cake. The best was the butter cake and the tropical cheese cake. Highly recommend! Make sure you call in advance! The reservations fill up

Everything we tried here was delicious (and we tried quite a few things). Chicken pate, cocktail shrimp, burrata cheese and fig salad, ahi, barbecue ribs, etc. We loved it so much. we came back 3 weeks later. Everything we had both times was so good. Service was excellent. The place itself is not "decorated"- just 1 large drawing from where we sat. We had the steak tartare, Shrimp ceviche, mushrooms pasta, curried chicken, Short rib empanadas, mango margarita, Key line Pie, chocolate chip cookies and the $100,000 bar with several cups of espresso, followed by a food coma

Really delicious restaurant in Palm Beach! Have been trying to get in here for a couple months now (reservations are hard to get), and was so happy we finally got in! The menu seems to change every few weeks, so we ordered items we heard may or may not be there the next time we come. (The "classics", "plant" and "crudo" items tend to stay the same, the large dishes and the pastas tend to rotate (except for their staple sweet corn agnolotti). We ordered the grilled carrot salad, short rib empanadas, spicy pork tacos, sweet corn agnolotti, ricotta cavatelli, and the Thai grilled chicken. All of the dishes were tasty, but we felt a lot of them had TOO many ingredients. Just too much going on. My absolute favorite was the sweet corn agnolotti and the short rib empanadas. The empanada was lightly fried, crisp, and the meat was seasoned and flavorful (and the salsa and sauce on top completed the taste). The sweet corn agnolotti was very rich (order the small portion, even to share), creamy, and cheesy; the flavor was so unique and decadent. The ricotta, butter, bacon, and corn flavors all popped; very interesting flavor combination. The pasta was cooked al dente and I would 100% order this dish again. For dessert we ordered the chocolate chip cookies; they were warm and gooey (baked to order), and the large chunks of sea salt were the perfect touch. Drinks were flavorful but seemed to lack alcohol (very light handed), and on the pricey side. We sat in the front room which is filled with sunlight (the back of the restaurant tends to be darker, but you can see the open kitchen), which shone nice off the copper tables. Really beautiful ambiance (and big bar), and very romantic. Service was exceptional; both girls waiting on us were friendly and had great suggestions, they made our night really special. I would definitely return here to try other items on the menu.

Four reasons you should eat here. Excellent ambience, good prices, superior quality food, and some of the best service we've had in any restaurant anywhere. We ordered lobster ceviche, burrata, shredded pork taco, empanada, sweet corn agnolotti, and cheesecake. We shared every dish, and it was more than enough food for us two old folks. Every dish was fabulous. Service was spaced marvelously. When we made the reservation, we thought it would be a really nice evening. Little did we know it would be the highlight of our week in West Palm Beach. If you live here, none of this would surprise you. If you are visiting, you really must reserve a table at Buccan for a superb evening.

I have been here two times both times I was very happy with the experience. The restaurant has some of the best dishes and the service was top notch. Only thing is you have to make reservations otherwise you might not have seat. Come early might help. Love how crowded the place is just gives a good vibe. Wish to come back for more, the corn pasta and branzino are must have items. I will skip desserts. I haven't found any places with good dessert for a while.

After plenty of amazing visits we have been here for the last time. The drinks came out quick, which is great but that's where it began and ended. The service was sub par- the server was combative and condescending when we asked if any of the menu changed (as it's known to). We were eager to try something new and were super off-put by our servers attitude. We ordered some appetizers and a small seasonal pasta. The hamachi was amazing but the beef tar tar was very vinegar forward per my husband as I don't eat meat. More on that later. The pasta he ordered was sub par for a $40 small plate and my fish was dry and served with beans. Not exactly what you come to Buccan for. After the most lackluster birthday dinner we've ever had (didn't order dessert after such a depressing time) my husband was nearly hospitalized as he had gotten ecoli from the vinegary (tainted) beef tar tar. I was spared as I had fish but the two of us were tied up in the his throws of illness for the week following as he couldn't keep down anything nor eat until day 6 which was right when family arrived from out of town Was a great place but now we wouldn't recommend to our worst enemy as this meal nearly killed one of us.

3 times a charm. This is the ideal venue where sharing is caring. What a nice way to enjoy the many fresh choices. What we love about Buccan is the level of service and the consistency. WOW. It is so much fun to watch how everyone works together and gets insync with customer's needs. Buccan has become our go-to venue.

I came here for my birthday dinner with 10 of my friends and it was sooo delicious! Our server, Daniel, was really nice and patient with us. We all ordered so many different dishes but the ones that really stood out to me were the Hamachi Crudo, Short rib empanadas, and the Scallops. If you're going to order anything, get the empanadas 100% lol. The restaurant is dimly lit and it's just a really pretty and even romantic vibe!

Buccan is a must when in Palm Beach! Whether you're going for lunch at the sandwich shop or dinner and drinks for their famous Sweet Corn Agnolotti, you'll never leave not satisfied. It's usually busy and you'll definitely need a reservation in season. I guess that's how you know it's a hot spot with a fun crowd. We've also ordered takeout many times, and they have always prepared and packaged everything nice without any mistakes! One of our favorites for sure.

I'm not really sure why the fuss is about the sweet corn agnolotti. Clearly I'm in the minority, but I found it way too salty and unsettling. The short rib empanadas were amazing. Loved my key lime martini with a graham cracker rim. Next time I'd get something different as my entree. Very loud restaurant. Good service.

Absolutely deserving every single piece of this star rating. Service was out of this world, our server was attentive, informative, and fun. Food was indescribable. It's high end and delicatessen but approachable, all writhin a pleasant and simple package. The Iberia tomahawk was killer and on par and even better than your top steak. My wife had the sweet corn ravioli which she couldn't get enough of. Beautifully put together, and such an enjoyable experience. No wonder everyone comes back here!

I have wanted to dine at Buccan for such a long time, we got a last minute reservation and I'm so sad I didn't come here sooner! Amazing service & ambiance. We started with the steak tartare, tuna crisps and crispy fuck confit. If you get any appetizer let it be the tuna crisps, I didn't even have time to take a picture because I was so excited to eat them. They were bursting with flavor from the sauce and pickled veggies, one crisp was not enough! The steak tartare was delicious and the crispy fuck confit was so tender and the skin was perfectly crispy. It paired so well with the black rice, it was not like any appetizer I've ever had. For entrees we ordered the octopus, NY strip, sweet corn agnolotti and a boar pasta dish. My favorite was by far the sweet corn agnolotti, it was not like any pasta dish I've ever had before. It was sweet, creamy and cheesy! I never thought I would enjoy a sweet pasta dish but I did and I'd order it every time I come to Buccan! The Soy Marinated NY Strip did disappoint me a little bit because the steak itself was chewy but the Japanese pumpkin puree underneath made up for it, without it the dish would have been lacking. The octopus was delicious, the sauce that it is covered in was a little spicy and had so much flavor but it was a little too salty. I was not a fan of the boar pasta at all, the meat had way too strong of a flavor that was not to my liking. Even though not every dish was absolutely perfect, Buccan still left me wanting more so I will be back to try more and order some more tuna crisps and sweet corn agnolotti!

I was visiting Palm Beach for a few days and tried Buccan on our last night there, and I'm so glad we did. All of the dishes we tried were flavorful and delicious. The sweet corn agnolotti was perfection and my favorite. The burrata and tuna crisps were really great as well. The octopus was good but the other dishes stood out more. Definitely make a reservation if you're interested in trying this spot!

A vibrant but somewhat noisy atmosphere with fabulous choices including tapas size plates. The highlight for us was the sweet corn angolleti!!! Everything was delicious in understated mouth exploding ways.

Hostesses are sweet I love them I swear they are angels on this planet with the work that they do. Got a server, whose name is Francisco and he was so polite, caring and funny. We got the usual steak tartare with the fried egg yolk, mushroom spring rolls with the peanut sauce you wanna bathe in, the Ekat perfect scallops with butternut squash and brussel sprouts?? Like okay yea read my mind. We also got fries- in my opinion Buccan has the perfect fry. We got the lobster ceviche, which personally was not my favorite. I am a fan of panna cotta however the one which came with this dish was not my taste. Of course we also got sweet corn agnolotti, which are as always perfect. The panini hot dog is not pictured but as always remarkable. Getting back to the steak tartare. For me steak tartare has been a staple dish since I've was like 7 years old. When I say this steak tartare is perfect, I MEAN ITS ACTUALLY PERFECT. The fried egg??? YES. For drinks, i don't really drink, so i get the harmony tea with tons of honey. This time i tried the Florida fall drink which had forbidden rice water- it reminded me of a kombucha but better. It was like a tropical storm in a drink, the combination of the passion fruit and the odd taste of the forbidden rice was perfect. I am excited to see what will be the Xmas drink. We got to sit at the chef's table which is ALWAYS A TREAT, I love just to sit and watch all the people at Buccan. If you sit not in the main dining room but closer to entrance you have a better chance of hearing the jazz music right around 5-8pm, after that it becomes almost jazzy house vibe. The main dining room is like chaotic but then u get glances of people on a date, some kind of birthday party, some kind of friend gathering. Buccan is a perfect place to come and just watch palm beach live with a perfect taste in your mouth.

Order the sweet corn agnolotti as your entree and make it a BIG portion, you won't regret it! Dined here with friends and got a little bit of a lot of stuff and ended up ordering this one for myself since i enjoyed it that much amd wanted more! Restaurant is always packed and on the trendy side. Reservations are strongly encouraged.

Amazing food and ambience. The duck and branzino is amazing. Very romantic spot. Not very kid friendly but we took our kids anyway and we had an amazing time. If you have a picky eater not the spot.

Sheesh!! All fire. Our server was awesome (she's Romanian) and the food was phenomenal!! What we got... the tuna crisp. Oh man. That was my favorite bite. The short rib empanadas were good but heavy. The pork taco fire. The sweet corn pasta fire and the sausage pasta super fire. We will for sure be coming back.

Tiny plates, big prices and subpar service. Nothing was so impressive as to wait three hours for food and then to be offered a birthday treat. Go somewhere local and enjoy.

Great service. Very good food. Chicken Waffles were great. Music was all over the place and since we were sitting at a table in the bar it was a lot. Good Sunday vibes on menu.

This restaurant was busy on a Tuesday night in late June, which in Palm Beach means they're doing something right. In fact, I'd say they're doing just about everything right. And the food is fantastic. This is the sort of place that offers a lot of starters and small plates and gives you the option to order pastas in half or full size portions. Especially if you're there with a group of 4 or more lean into this and order a lot of different dishes to taste. We did, and there were some standout surprises and nothing disappointed. In particular, the sweetcorn and truffle pasta pillows were truly memorable, and the lobster, tuna and avocado ceviche was excellent . The hotdog Panini, which is really a mini Ruben with the hotdog substituted for the corned beef was a surprise, really terrific, as was the warm, roasted carrot and plum salad. The Hamachi from the sushi bar that shares space with the restaurant was also terrific. Service was very professional and friendly, and Kayla, who was our server was particularly good

Wow that was a biggest birthday disappointment ever! So excited to try Buccan after hearing soooo many good things. The first thing you notice is how loud the place is...typical for a Sat night I suppose so you may want to come on a weekday! We sat a little too close to a party of four who were literally shouting across the table to one another, thankful when they left but replaced to our dismay by another very loud group, one lady in particular that had a piercing voice...it really took away from our experience. We started with the Burrata mousse which was nice but lacked the standard creaminess. The crispy duck was a touch dry and overcooked, and the acidic sauce simply overpowered this dish. They allowed me to order one item off imoto's menu so we chose the Super Salmon roll which came room temp and tasted a bit fishy. We waited awhile for the sweet corn agnolotti ... I think he forgot because he noticed we hadn't received it yet and immediately showed up with it but wasn't hot. Our server would pop over immediately after each dish but then he'd disappear. Since we couldn't get his attention, we ate a few pieces which might have been better if it were hot but I don't enjoy warm food. There wasn't enough salty bacon pieces to offset the overly sweet corn filling. We finished with the bananas forester butter cake which was the one and only highlight of the night.

Visiting for a Tony Robbins event. Found Buccan on Yelp and we knew we needed to try it out. The ambiance is very lovely with a fun music vibe. The employees are attentive, fun and personable. We enjoyed a couple fun cocktails and the food is absolutely delicious. Classy and relaxing.

This restuarant is absolutely amazing! The ambience is cozy and relaxing. The service was great! Our waitress continuously checked up on us and gave us great recommendations throughout the night. First, we started off with the Italian Burrata. It was one of the best burratas I have ever had! Everything was so fresh and filled with flavor. We then had the Florida's Rock Shrimp ceviche (not pictured). Very fresh as well! And lastly, we shared the Sweet Corn Agnolotti. This was my favorite dish of the night! It was such a unique dish and it definitely lived up to its hype! Our drinks and desserts were fantastic as well! 10/10 recommend.

Great spot. The entire staff is wonderful and really makes the time there great. We started off with the carrot salad which was amazing, savory, a lot of flavor and the carrots cooked to a soft texture that we really enjoyed. Pork tacos were a big disappointment. Cooked too much and dry, no flavor and just nothing to the tacos, very plain and underwhelming. Not juicy and not seasoned well. Empanadas were good - meat was juicy and flavorful and a good dish. The duck leg was soft tender off the bone and very tasty! Chef did an amazing job with this one. We also had 2 pastas and simply amazing. The sauce, the ricotta, the dough itself, it was all just really really good.
