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

We had the best Swordfish that we've had in many years. All four of us ordered the same meal and we were all very impressed with the quality and the taste. The fish was marinated over night in Greek yogurt, cumin and other spices and was second to none. The restaurant can be a bit loud at times but it... More

Went here on girls night out and we had a blast. We shared a very comfortable couch with some fun guys from Belgian. Nick our waitron was awesome. All of his recommendations were spot on. We shared the Warm Brussels Sprouts “Caesar”--very nice but a bit salty; Squash Blossoms--beyond lovely (and I am not a fan of fried food...these were... More

My sister and I experienced our first visit to Buccan, after finally getting a reservation at a decent time. We arrived about 10 minutes before our 8pm dinner reservation, so we went to wait at the small bar up front. The bartender informed us that on Mondays all bottled wine is half price! ALL bottles - even ones regularly priced... More
