Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stopped here on a tour that included Old Panama City and the Panama Canal, and lunch was part of our package. All of us on the tour had been staying at the same resort and mentioned that sometimes the portion size at our hotel left a lot to be desired. That is absolutely not the case here! The vegetarian pasta would have fed 2 or 3. The salmon, chicken, and beef portions were generous. Everyone was very pleased with their lunch - most of us couldn't finish everything. Our lunch came with 1 drink per person, beer, soft drinks, lemonade or ice tea. Those who ordered the lemonade and iced tea were thrilled - they said it was fresh and tasted homemade. The staff here did a great job; there were 12 of us including the guide and driver, and despite the variety of items ordered, everything was served at about the same time and at the correct temperature. One or two people were disappointed that there was no bread/rolls (other than a small piece of garlic bread with the pasta dish) but otherwise lunch was very good. The "3 milk cake" for dessert was tasty as well. All in all a very nice lunch and we enjoyed our stop here.

Expectations were not great as it was in the ritzy Cruise ship port area, however I was really surprised. The seating area was nice with a view and open to the outside. We ordered a la carte and I had the whole oven baked Red snapper which was delicious. I don't know how they did it, but I tried fresh red snapper several other places after (on the Caribbean coast - is the fish different?) and it was no where any thing like this. My wife had a large bowl of little neck clams that she thought was wonderful. A lot of them as well. Drinks were good as well.

Such an excellent restaurant with a great service and live music that gets you more into that theme of a Caribbean restaurant. In my case, I had the opportunity to order the “Mar y Tierra” and it was delicious!! Optimal for four people, you wont regret it! The fried shrimp is delicious!! You can enjoy it with “yucas”, “patacones” or simply bowls of rice. For less than 60 dollars I personally think its totally worth the price.

Went with 9 ppl for lunch and everything was SUB-PAR. The coconut rice had no coconut, the medium steak was well done, the ceviche tasted off, the pizza crust was ridiculously thick, and the pasta gummy. The service was ridiculously slow: 30 min to take our orders, 40 min to bring the food, and 20+ minutes to get the check once we asked for it. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

Here for the holidays and set a reservation for 5:30 pm Christmas Eve Dinner. Called a day before to inquire about availability and was told we could dine at 5:30 pm. Spent $15 cab ride to get to restaurant and was informed they were closed. Manager happen to be walking by while waiting for return cab ride and he say the decided to close early. Told him we had a reservation and he acted as though he didn’t know what was going on. Decided to just leave. Really wanted to try this restaurant.

We apologize for the misunderstanding on our behalf and your inconvenience. Christmas eve is a special date for us and at Bucaneros we encourage our staff on leaving early just that date to be with their loved ones. We would like to extend our apologies and offer you a Free dinner for two on behalf of our restaurant.

Our experience, alas, was far from remarkable, marred as it was by the oppressive heat of the day and an onslaught of mosquitoes. Yet, there was a silver lining in the form of our diligent waiter, whose attentiveness included the provision of mosquito spray. The whole fish red snapper we partook in was splendid indeed, though its price was steep. My salad, too, failed to justify its lofty cost, and the pizza resembled a modestly priced frozen variety. The libations were acceptable, generously poured. It was our waiter who truly shone, a lone beacon of excellence in an otherwise disappointing visit. The overall ambiance was wanting, with a view of the parking lot that was merely adequate. Despite this, the place appeared to be a popular haunt.

Great service in a covered outdoor setting. Food is excellent. Mango chicken-$16.00- was awesome and had 2 large pieces of chicken breasts topped with green & red pepper pieces and slivered almonds with a delicious mango sauce on a hot plate. friends ordered the giant crab shell cheese dish that came with lots of big pieces of crab on the sides. they raved about it even though it was pricey. will eat there every time I am in the area.

Decor is absolutely stunning! It’s very easy to spend a good few hours here relaxing with some beers and friends. Lots of fans which keep you cool and service was good. Food took a little while and was hit and miss. We got a sharing platter and some of it was amazing (steak, chicken, plantain); the fish on the other hand was over cooked and dry. Flavour was great though and reasonably priced.

The service it’s prompt. The food: I had the scampi spaghetti. Pasta cooked al dente. The prawns/crawfish cooked just right. I also had a frozen passion fruit non alcoholic drink. It was so delicious I felt I was having dessert before my main. My husband had the Garlic Seabass with rice and grilled veggies cooked. All the food was fresh. The rice cooked the same day. The place also offers a nice breezy breeze.

We went to eat, very fair product, and terrible quality of service from the manager who deceived us by telling us that the tip was mandatory at the time of paying. (in Panama it is common but not mandatory and even more so if the service is terrible) for example , we requested a red wine and they did not have it in the refrigerator at an ambient temperature of 33 degrees, we asked for a white wine recommendation and they brought us a different one than the one proposed. Price does not adjust to what is served.

Buccaneers is here! In September 2023 they surprised me with new dishes, with new flavors, with an excellent Greek octopus, (loving roots), with very fresh seafood and with very friendly staff. At that moment, after about 2 years in which I did not fall in love, I found a spectacle of flavors in a single bite. Yes, the octopus is real octopus and not Jumbo squid that they sell you in most restaurants in Panama. Bucaneros once again counted on Panamanian gastronomy and today, February 15, 2024, I did not make it easy for them: office lunch for 12 people ready at 12:30, one day after a Valentine's night, everything is ready and to take away and also with a whole list of intolerances and requirements that made the task more difficult.. And this is how it went for us: - Seafood paella: excellent (and I made paella for the first time when I was 9 years old, so I know what I'm talking about and I have thousands of paellas that have passed through my stove) - - Proof of the good thing is that not a grain was left behind of rice . The paella reminded me of the rice fields of Valencia, the smell of my beloved Mediterranean. - mixed ceviche: fabulous with its perfect point of acidity, - Patacones: huge and not greasy. - - Greek style charcoal octopus - soft but with character bathed in this Mediterranean lemon juice... They were all bites of memories full of perfume. So I just have to give the maximum no and ask that they do not change, that they do not invent beyond what is natural, what is fresh, what is good and what is delicious that the food itself offers.

Overall, Bucaneros restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in Panama City. Thanks Daniel for exceptional service

Couldn't have asked for a better meal! Great service and scenery to match, went on a Monday night so no crowds. Food was prepared with care and plentiful! Will definitely make the drive back out when I return! My one and only criticism would be the menu is a little tough to read, especially in the evenings. (Small print). Other wise 5 stars all the way around!

This restaurant is located at the end of the Amador Causeway. Easy parking. It has a very nice covered terrace. Attentive waiters. Everything we tried was very good. It is very expensive. In fact, for me it is the most expensive restaurant in Amador. I recommend it to try, but it would not be a restaurant that I would choose to go to more often due to its high price.
