    Sweet Corn Agnolotti
    Jojuane P.

    A high energy staple in the Palm Beach scene. The place feels up fast. I enjoyed the craft N/A cocktails Atmosphere and energy is high. If I lived in the area, I'd visit frequently.

    Came to Buccan on Saturday night for a small birthday dinner with my best friends, and it absolutely delivered. It had all the Palm Beach vibes and the best cuisine in the area. The service was wonderful, and everything was coursed out perfectly. We started with the tuna crisp and the wedgeless wedge salad. The tuna was such a light, flavorful bite that still packed a punch. The wedgeless wedge featured perfectly seasoned heirloom tomatoes with an herby dressing, finished beautifully with blue cheese and crispy bacon. For our second course, we split half orders of two pastas. I'll always favor their classic sweet corn agnolotti -- creamy, pillowy, and perfectly balanced, with bacon adding just the right amount of crunch. My girlfriends were huge fans of the truffle pasta as well. For dinner, I absolutely loved the New York strip with its rich mushroom reduction, and one of the girls couldn't stop raving about the swordfish dish. To finish, we had the key lime tart -- perfectly tart, not too sweet, and light enough to end the meal on a high note. Definitely 5 stars and officially one of my favorite spots to visit!

    Short Rib Empanada and Steak Tartare.

    This was an incredible experience. Chef Clay Conley has created one of the best restaurants in America right in West Palm Beach. Buccan is the place that someone could literally visit every night. Incredible vibe, beautiful people, the best food imaginable, great staff and service. We loved so many dishes. Tuna and Steak tartare, Duck Confit, Agnolotti, Hot Dog Panini and Short Rib Empanadas. Every dish was exquisite. We were served by the amazing Marley, who did a fantastic job. Andy, The GM, also greeted us and was very charming and helpful. In short, this is a place that you must visit.

    Took over 3 months for me to actually get a reservation here! And when I did, the only time and slot available was a Monday evening at 9:30pm. I will say though, that Buccan is definitely worth the hype. My friend and I had a fantastic experience here from start to finish. Valet is complimentary and located right out front. The ambiance was warm and inviting. I enjoyed the decor on the inside as it was aesthetically pleasing. My friend and I sat in a booth in the back. Buccan is known for their tapas and small plates. Our server explained that approximately 4 dishes is what most people order. To start, my friend and I ordered beverages: she got the passionate one (very sweet) and I got the bathtub gin but with tequila. We loved them both! We started off with a few items: short rib empanadas, tuna crisps, sweet corn agnolotti and the shaved vegetable salad. Out of these items I would say the MUST ORDER items are the empanadas and the sweet corn. They were absolutely DELICIOUS! The meat inside the short rib was melt in your mouth type of tender. The sweet corn was essentially in the form of baby raviolis and were phenomenal. Our final course was the prime beef burger cooked medium which we split. It came with fries and sauce. The meat was so incredibly tender and soft. I had an absolutely amazing experience here at Buccan. Hope to be back soon!

    We rarely go to Palm Beach, itself, but we were meeting friends for dinner. We try to get together once a month or so and they had said they didn't want to go to downtown West Palm this time. This was a hard place to get reservations for. When I booked, all they had available was 5:15 or 9:30 pm! So we wound up dining early. Do make reservations for here, as I've since learned that it is a "hot" place right now. There is valet parking out front, but there's also street parking if you prefer. When we came a bit after 5 pm the small bar area was packed and many of the tables were already filled. When we left every table was taken and there was a large crowd waiting for seats. The menu is quite different -- a bit eclectic -- and for some a little challenging to navigate. Everything is printed, that is, there are no specials or additions. We started by sharing their duck bistella. If you're familiar with the Morrocan one, this is only like it in that it's a pastry with a filling. Contrary to our server's description, it's nothing like the original. No cinnamon or sugar and a way different filling. There are four separate little pieces stuffed with plain shredded duck meat. It's fairly bland in itself. Two pieces are topped with red peppers and two with cheese. It was just okay. After that my husband and I each got a half order of a pasta. These dishes were fantastic! I had their sweet corn agnolotti. This pasta was like a small ravioli stuffed with a creamy sweet corn filling. There were bacon bits and ricotta on top. It was in a butter sauce that I was happy to see it was not spicy at all -- contrary to the menu description of "espelette" which has a peppery chili kick. My husband had their squid ink orecchiette which had sausage and conch. He loved it. For dessert, we shared their bananas foster butter cake which came with a small scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, and banana pieces. This was just lovely. Our friends had a key lime tarte with meringue which was quite good, as well. Service was very good. Depending on what you order, prices are reasonable especially considering the quality and expertise of the chefs. I'd say that only the cocktails are expensive here. Despite it being in Palm Beach, dress was resort casual. It's not a stuffy venue. I'm very glad we came here. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

    Italian burrata

    Buccan was excellent!. It's mostly a small plates menu but includes a number of large plate items as well. On Palm Beach Island, you'll see many Bentleys and other conspicuous consumption vehicles and patrons are dressed to the 9s. They have valet parking as street parking is limited. We opted to sit at the bar. The servers are highly professional and very attentive, some of the best service I've received in recent times. The pickled pineapple margaritas are a classic, spicy margarita, not drowning in ice. All of the dishes we tried were fantastic. The Italian Burrata was a melody of different ingredients that all complemented each other quite well. The spicy pork tacos with extra salsa verde were quite good, shredded pork and drizzled with a few drops of a squeeze of lime. The short rib empanada was delish with a light cream sauce as was the duck bastilla which had red pepper and raita giving it an Indian flare. We also enjoyed the sweet corn agnolotti and the whipped chickpea hummus with triangles of warm pita. We were definitely full by the time we finished everything. I can see why Buccan is Michelin rated - well deserved!

    We had a fabulous experience on a Monday night. We have been trying for months to get in and we finally got a reservation! We parked on the street but they have valet. We were early but the hostesses kindly checked us in and directed us to the bar to wait and have a cocktail. The young lady with the curly blonde hair and the one with very short reddish hair were very friendly! Stephanie was our waitress and she was fantastic! Our glasses were always full and her recommendations were spot on. We got the garden salad- bright and refreshing. Tangy with goat cheese and perfectly shareable. Butter "chicken" made of lions main mushrooms. WOW! Get it, you'll thank me. Short rib empanada was so flavorful. Not heavy at all. The squid ink orchiaetta and the snapper were both equally as amazing as eveything else we had. Nothing needed a thing. Everything was perfectly seasoned, perfectly dressed, perfectly executed. The restaurant had a relaxed vibe and simple decor. Nothing overly showy or overly done, just simple and clean. We will definitely be back!

    I'd say this would be one of my new favorite restaurants in Palm Beach! Came to have dinner with the girls and with every order, we were not disappointed at all. Food was delicious, server was highly attentive and the ambiance exudes luxury. Definitely would come back for the Truffle and the Sweet Corn Agnolotti. YUMMY!

    Brittany B.

    Worth every penny from service to food to ambiance! Would highly recommend making a reservation- this place tends to be packed! Watermelon martini is a MUST & the Butternut Squash Gnocchetti & the Steak Tartare.. honestly everything was perfection! Not one bad thing to say about the food. All the dishes were perfectly balanced- the steak tartare had the right amount of truffle and the crispy yolk on top was superb! You have to check this place our for yourself- you will not be disappointed! Their sister restaurants Grato and Imoto are also top notch!

    Felt a little overhyped. The food was decent but not five star. Service was very good. Let's start with the positive. One daughter rated the steak tartare very good. Other daughter rated prime burger very good. Bananas Foster butter cake dessert was excellent. Now for the not so great. Local Farm Power Greens crispy pita, shaved vegetables, sumac vinaigrette | 18. Wife asked what kind of vegetables were in it. Somehow they didn't show up in the final presentation. Wife told server about it and he said he would tell the chef. At the end they took it off the bill which was the right thing to do. Hot Dog Panini sauerkraut, gruyere, mustard, chili | 17. Another disappointment. Overpowered by the grainy mustard. Couldn't taste the hot dog. Don't recommend. Cute idea but in my opinion it was a fail. Spicy Pork Taco avocado crema, salsa verde | 6 per piece. Just okay. Not really spicy. Just nothing special about it. Maine Lobster Busiate shrimp "bolognese", jalapeno, lemon, creme fraiche, osetra caviar | 42/84. Wife got appetizer size. Said it was fine but expected it to be better. Waygu Beef Burger chanterelles, gruyer, hand cut fries, shaved white truffle | 80: I got this. 6 oz. Bun was not warmed and the chanterelles overpowered the taste of the burger. For the price I did expect a perfect burger. This was far from it. Save your money and get the prime burger. This was the biggest disappointment We won't return

    Tuna Crisps
    Steve G.

    I always look forward to my visits here. The chow is excellent, and most importantly, the execution from the kitchen is flawless--every dish prepared with care, hot dishes served piping hot. Service is consistently great: professional, attentive, and genuinely aiming to please. Tonight, we appreciated how well Victoria took care of us. Their professionalism creates an atmosphere of excellence that puts me in exactly the right frame of mind--ready to enjoy the food and wine to come. It sounds simple, but it's rare to find. I always start with the Tuna Crisp--clean flavors and the perfect way to wake up the palate. A bottle of Chablis "Vaillons" from Céline and Romain Poullet was very good. For red, the Super Tuscan from the Bolgheri region. Tonight, the Spicy Pork Taco edged out the Short Rib Empanadas, though both were excellent. The Crispy Duck Confit remains one of my favorite dishes here and did not disappoint. Steak Tartare--prime NY strip, black truffle, crispy egg yolk--simple and excellent. We tried the Butter "Chikin" (tandoori-marinated lion's mane mushrooms with butternut squash raita and naan). The sauce was fantastic; while it's not my personal style of dish, it was enjoyed by my tablemates. Do not miss the Sweet Corn Agnolotti. For dessert, the Banana Foster Butter Cake is a must. Shout out to the Valet Parking attendants... top notch! Always a great time here. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    A true 5 star dining experience! We had the best waiter, Nour, and he made fantastic recommendations. My personal favorites were the pesto shrimp scampi pasta, Tuna Crisps, and the grilled wagyu short rib large plate. The delicate meats, the intricate sauce flavors, and the crispy textures added to each dish were incredible. It felt like every bite was designed perfectly to create an experience in your mouth. Other great options that we tried included the crispy duck confit, short rib empanadas, and sweet corn pasta. As our waiter said, you really cannot go wrong with any choice on the menu. Ambiance was great. I would definitely recommend a reservation. The Valet out front is complimentary. Monday is 50% off wine, we enjoyed a wonderful Brunello Riserva (highly recommend).

    Hamachi Tiradito
    Ai T.

    Came here on a Monday but all reservations were full so I cannot get a reservation. I really wanted to try their dish so I ordered online for pick up! Pick up service was fast, there is a window in the back of restaurant on the side of the street you can drive by and pick it up easily. I got the Hamachi Tiradito: it came with the yuzu sauce separate so you need to pour it in to complete the dish. The fish was so fresh and the combo of all the sauces compliment each very well. I love this dish! A note is once I open the to go box - there are lint and dust inside it, I'm assuming they did not clean the box before they put the food in or they wipe it with the towel that has lint on it. So be careful if you do order to go. Inspect the box before you eat. Next dish is Sweet corn agnolotti size small. Oh my goodness this is the best pasta type I've ever tasted! Do yourself a favor and get this dish. It has real corn in the sauce and bacon. Inside the pasta it has a soft and creamy with corn flavor in it so that was a nice surprise! I wish I could have order a large. I also go the short rib empanada. It comes with salsa and aioli sauce to dip in. It was good! And the meat was flavorful and juicy.

    Ceviche- sooooo good!

    Do they take Reservations?

    Buccan is one of the toughest reservations, so planning ahead is important. Reserve on Open Table. The important thing to know is they book 1 month out, so plan accordingly. The place is great!

    Does Buccan offer a happy hour in 2025?

    Can't vouch for 2025, but early Dec 2024 they had Happy Hour from 4:00-7:00. Best to call them, however.

    What's the expected attire?

    Casual chic I would say .. some people are dressed up and others are not..

    Happy hour menu?

    There is no happy hour here.

    Are there gift certificates available?

    Oh I am sure... They have everything at Buccan

The wait was pretty long but the bar was first come first serve so we hoped to snag a spot there instead. The restaurant itself is tight. It's long but thin and the waiting area is like nonexistent so you're basically all huddling around people's tables. Luckily we were able to get drinks while we waited and the drinks were delicious. I ordered "The Crush" which had green grapes in it. It was so refreshing and delicious!! It's been a couple of weeks since we went and I'm still thinking about how good that drink was. I forgot what my bf got to drink but he enjoyed it as well. Finally some seats opened up at the bar and we were able to sit there and I'm so glad we did. Our bartender, I believe his name was Sam, was on point. Just exceptional service from him. He was great at his job and we also really enjoyed our conversation with him. To eat we ordered the deviled eggs, the tuna tartare and the Emerald Kale Salad with Rotisserie Chicken. The salad was just so incredible we ordered one to go as well. The food is absolutely worth coming back here for, the tuna tartare was also fantastic. The deviled eggs were okay, but I'm not a good judge for them as I'm not a huge deviled eggs person. Next time we're in the area I need to come back here. So good!!!

My favorite items were the chicken meatballs (perfect texture, with the right amount of spicy mustard) and the prime rib sandwich (the bread was soft, steak was juicy and tender, horseradish was creamy). ALL of our dishes, however, were soooo good, and I'd order any of them a second time! Small seating area inside (just a few tables and bar seats), and they don't accept reservations, so expect to wait a little bit. The inside is dark, with warm lighting and big leather booths; you don't feel like you're in south Florida anymore, it's a northern cozy vibe. Service was nice, but didn't check in often enough (often times having to flag someone down for utensils, plates, etc). I would definitely return here for dinner!!

    Everything in West Palm feels like a chain. It's a lot of restaurants telling you that "they do…read morethings differently around here" and then they give you the same product and same mediocre service as the place next door. I picked Batch while walking by because it had the cutest vibe but we weren't expecting much. We were greeted by Rachel, the manager, at the host stand. She didn't just lead us to our table, she walked with us. She asked us if we were from the area and what brought us in. It was all small talk but felt genuine. She waited until we were seated to hand us or menus and it didn't feel rushed. Gabby, our server, showed confidence and love for the place when she introduced herself. They make everything from scratch here and Gabby sold us on the eggrolls and mac and cheese to start. However, before those could arrive, Rachel came by with an order of biscuits for us. These were absolutely to die for and the gesture was very kind. The eggrolls, bbq sauce, and ranch were the highlight of our food adventure here. You could tell this was all freshly made. We both ordered burgers and those were very good, hearty, and not greasy. Their house sauce B1 added a perfect element of smokiness to the burger. Gabby's service ensured we always had refills, never had to ask for anything, and the table was always clean. Rachel stopped by and checked on us and also gave us cute glasses to take home with us and coupons to come back for happy hour for some "off menu snacking". So if you're asking if Batch does things differently, they absolutely do. We can't wait to bring our friends next time. Ask for Rachel and Gabby and don't sleep on the eggrolls!

    A very elegant restaurant in a lovely area. The service was excellent, and we had a reservation. I…read morewould recommend making one, as it seems necessary. We started with a Kir Royale, which was perfectly balanced, and appreciated the solid wine selection. For appetizers, we had the warm goat cheese salad, simply delicious. The goat cheese wrapped in crispy yucca was a standout and a unique, excellent combination. A quick note: the Wagyu burger comes with three sides, and the side portions are enormous, definitely enough to share. I personally prefer my burger well done, which can sometimes come across as overcooked, so that's something to keep in mind depending on your preference. For entrées, we also tried the filet mignon au poivre and the scallops with asparagus (the special of the day), both of which were well prepared and enjoyable. Overall, it's a place worth experiencing and one I would recommend.

    I'm going to give the Good and the Bad in this review. It should be more of a 3 1/2 stars but…read moredefinitely not a four or five stars. First the bad. The menu has changed in the past few years from quite an extensive offering to just very few entrées. They took away the duck entrée which is preposterous for a French restaurant. We were a party of two. We ordered the chilled artichoke, which was blah. It tasted like the dipping sauce was some bottled ranch dressing. The Caesar salad at quite an outrageous price was soggy and disappointing. The good. Our waiter was excellent and service was good even though we had to refill our wine glasses. The two entrées were also excellently prepared. The Dover sole for which they are famous was excellently prepared. However, for almost $80 I would've expected something more than tasteless rice and spinach to accompany it. The filet mignon was also expertly prepared. Potato for the side, which is not very impressive either. So there you have it. We will not return because the foods that make a French restaurant French are not on this menu. Dinner for two including a bottle of wine was almost $500. I'd have to say not worth it. Café Chardonnay at half the price is so much better.
