Maybe too easy…so then I ordered sake from their large sake menu. Again, the Asian equivalent of a light, refreshing, Ginny Hendriks type of drink. To drink, I ordered the Yuzu Collins with gin, yuzu, ginger syrup, shiso and soda. “I’m dying to go” may have been said a few times. I was so pleased with Buccan that I went to Imoto within a few weeks later.
Flavorful small plates, upscale sushi and sashimi, traditional to innovative Japanese cuisine and sauces, comfortable but upscale atmosphere. Located next door to Buccan, Imoto is essentially the Asian version of Buccan. Lastly, be sure to make a reservation on OpenTable! Imoto
That’s pretty impressive for only trying three small plates, right? I’ll be back soon to try more, that’s for sure! They do have a happy hour on weekdays from 4-6pm but it is only at the bar/bar area. I’ve been raving about Buccan and recommending it to friends and family since I went.

If we weren’t so full from the large empanada and portion of Octopus tabbouleh, we probably would have ordered another plate. For reference, ours was the smaller, $15 portion. It’s so popular that they offer it in two sizes, regardless of time of day. It was phenomenal, exceeding expectations for a corn filled pasta dish. Last but not least, their signature dish of Sweet Corn Agnolotti with ricotta, bacon and espelette butter. It was noticeably fresh and full of flavor, again a generous portion. I love Octopus and Tabbouleh, but have never had them together oddly enough. To lighten things up a bit, we ordered the Octopus “Tabbouleh” with chickpeas, farro, fresno chili, mint. Was it the best empanada in the world? Nope, but it was really good and worth ordering again. As you can tell from the picture below, it was quite generously sized and very shareable. First was the Short Rib Empanada with salsa criolla and aja amarillo. We ordered them all at once and our server brought them out in perfect sequence. Now for the food! We decided to share a few of the most popular small plates. This was a good start, but nothing I couldn’t make myself at home. To drink, I ordered the Ginny Hendriks with gin, lemon juice, cucumber and basil, my favorite combination. That was, until Howard Stern walked in and sat behind us! No big deal… Source It actually surprised me how casual and approachable it felt, with little kids eating with their family at one big round table across from us.
It’s busy, trendy and upscale, but not the least bit stuffy.

The space is bright with large windows covering two sides, it smells great from to the open kitchen in the back, and the service is very friendly. Their signature small plate, big flavor creations are served in a warm and welcoming space.” I couldn’t agree more. Buccanīuccan is described as a restaurant serving “inventive American cuisine made with the freshest ingredients from the very best sources. Anyone who survives on the island is doing something right, for it is a small area filled with some of the most trendy, fashionable, well-traveled, critical, wealthy and famous residents. Not only did I hold these high expectations because of his reputation, but also for their location on Palm Beach Island. I dined at Grato in West Palm Beach when it first opened, and with high expectations Buccan and Imoto in Palm Beach more recently. He was recognized as one of 2017’s best chefs of the South for a James Beard Award! Source Locally in Palm Beach, the same holds true for Chef Clay Conley, who has three restaurants – Grato, Buccan and Imoto, and a sandwich shop. It wasn’t until I lived in New York City that I became more familiar with celebrity chefs, eager to try all of their restaurants.
