    Wow! What a find!! I’ve got a new favorite restaurant. Wonderful waiter and service. Delicious food. My only critique is that a woman tripped into the sand area and got hurt. The staff was not accommodating to her. The restaurant needs to go around its property and check for hazards and identify the areas to prevent future accidents.

    We live just a short distance away from the Buccaneer and had a front row seat to its renaissance. This historic staple of Singer Island had been closed for a number of years while new ownership worked their magic. I must say Well Done! The renewed restaurant is tastefully done with clean lines yet with a warm and comfortable ambiance. We only stopped in for a beer and a small bite but the food was outstanding. The mussel appetizer was the best prepared mussels we have ever had. We shared a Buffalo Style pizza that was built in their wood fired oven. It too was very tasty. We topped everything off with a piece of banana cream pie and a cup of coffee… both were a perfect finish to a wonderful culinary experience. I can’t leave a complete review without commenting on the service… it was attentive and impeccable. When you visit Singer Island “you gotta eat here”!!!!

    Loved the menu choices. We had the Grouper Ciapinno and the Muscles Scampi - EXCELLENT! The outdoor vibe is awesome and so is the outside bar upstairs. Perfect for an after dinner drink and you can't beat the view. Scott was our waiter and he was one of the best waiters we've had ever! Thank you Scott - Jay & Karen

    Hi Karen (and Jay!), Thank you so much for the kind words and for spending your evening with us! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the Grouper Cioppino and Mussels Scampi—and that you got to enjoy our upstairs bar with those unbeatable views. We’ll be sure to pass your shoutout along to Scott—he’ll be so happy to hear it! Looking forward to welcoming you both back soon! Cheers, The Buccaneer Waterfront Bar & Grill Team
