Went here with friends and had a great meal. The best thing on the menu is the Brussels Sprout Caesar salad. I'm not a fan of Brussels Sprouts, but this salad was delicious. All of our entrees were excellent! Also found it to be a great people watching spot!

We reserved at Buccan based on the TripAdvisor reviews. On a Monday night in the off-season it was packed and loud. Our server told us it was a "slow" night. (Mondays they offer all bottles of wine at half price, which could explain the crowd.) I'd hate to see the place on a Saturday in early spring! Still, we did... More

Had a fantastic snack at Buccan last evening. After starting with two perfect martinis we moved on the Tuna Tartar. Built on an avocado base it was excellent. Even my wife (not much of a raw fish person) liked it. We then tried the gnocchi in a very nice pesto sauce with shrimp - outstanding. We then moved to the... More

We went with a group of 13. Food was good but they forgot one of our parties' meal-- all if it. And took forever to rectify. Another had to be sent back as the pork was rare. Very loud so hard to hear when you have your own large group. Most likely a better place for 5-6 people. And apologies... More

We had a great dinner at this "tapas" style restaurant. Service was good, the staff is busy with a large crowd, and they got the food out in stages pretty well in a timely manner. If you can stand a great deal of noise, this is a real treat. If not, try to have management tell you best hours so... More

Buccan was modern "young"'er than some of the other restaurants in town....I'm 32 and my fiancé is 29. This was a better option than some of the stuffier establishments in town. Food was amazing. As odd as it is to say, the brussel sprout caesar salad was my favorite, followed by the squash blossom. The conch ceviche was nice, with... More

Our friends took my husband and me to this restaurant and I am still thanking them almost a week later. The food is out of this world! I think we may have ordered too much, but it was a celebration. It was our 2 year anniversary - so the champagne was flowing as was the wine. We started with tuna... More

Beautiful restaurant inhabited by beautiful people. The menu was interesting and innovative; most of the small plates were WOW, but a couple were just passable good. Our server was courteous and informative. All in all, a great night.

The high points for our party of 4 were the great service, the fun atmosphere in the restaurant and the decor/layout of the restaurant. We tried a large variety of food on the menu. Most of the dishes we had were in the average to above average range in terms of food quality. We had a shrimp dish that was... More
