Bucanero's

Decide when to go to Bucanero's based on the music first; the seafood specialties won't disappoint. Wednesday nights feature live jazz performances while salsa music animates the establishment on Thursday and Friday nights. Especially on weekends, the restaurant transforms into a popular dance spot as the night matures. The open-air setup makes for fantastic views over the Bay of Panama, the sometimes elaborate European-influenced dishes make for a great meal, and the cowboy theme adds a dash of fun. Starters like ceviche, fried eggplant, and cream of broccoli soup and desserts like truffles or tiramisu prove to be wonderful bookends for a complex fish composition. Tropical-flavored cocktails march steadily off the bar throughout the evening.
