    Looking for a new place to try on our way home from a weekend at Epcot. Looked up a few places and this had some outdoor seating on a lake that sounded nice. We had reservations and from the looks of it that was a good idea since it filled up pretty quick and it was Sunday! Got our table outside on the lake. Looked over the menu. Grabbed a class of wine. Ordered. I got the Canvas burger. Really good. Great flavors on the meat and the toppings were fresh. Added an egg to 'breakfast it up'. They added bacon although I didn't ask for it. Good call! It was delicious. Upgraded to truffle fries and this was the only knock as they were not very truffaly but cooked nicely. Deb got the spicy beef salad. Soba noodles and steak with a really good sesame lime vinaigrette. Delicious. Large portion as well. Service was great and our server was very helpful with great suggestions. Food was very good. We will try to make it out here again.

    We had the best time at Canvas Restaurant & Market in Lake Nona Town Center! The plaza itself is so charming and inviting, it makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. We originally stopped in for drinks and dessert... and somehow ended up sharing appetizers and full meals too (no regrets ). The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in, you can feel the hospitality. Definitely check out the chalkboard specials... and whatever you do, DO NOT skip dessert. Trust me. Absolute must.

    10 tables of 9 people each. Plus a 4 top because it looks like they over sold.

    We prepaid for the mother's Day Canvas Dockside brunch. , which was heavily advertised on their website at OpenTable for reservations. It was $40 per person. Private dining area, which is dockside next-door the actual restaurant so you had to sit in a big table with strangers kinda like old-fashioned cruising. And it was a buffet. So took 25 minutes for the omelette station. Different foods on the buffet, but most things were empty. Eggs empty. One yeah one omelette station for 90 people. This was set in the private dining room at dockside so they were 10 tables of 9+ an extra four top they placed in the corner. cause it looks like they over sold the event and had to put an extra four top table on the corner. I take these reviews very seriously cause I work on hospitality so I know. Eggs, the bacon or things were out the mac & cheese, The food were in chafing dishes and warming lamps. The food was cold. It was definitely not to temperature. We cruise a lot so we are buffet experts. . The restaurant is always delicious but we will not be doing this Mother's Day buffet again. We've eaten at Canvas many times before and have a great time. . We had an awesome Easter meal inside the restaurant. It was also very deceptive when you were making the reservation online you had to really read that it was for dockside not the actual restaurant cause we would've been perfectly happy to just sit at the restaurant because that's what we were expecting. We thought it would've been like Easter where they had special dishes for Mothet's day. We didn't realize it was like this private event buffet Switching out those chafing dishes while the line was long as all of them were empty. Somebody need to have been back there, switching it out while there was a line now the buffet is full, but everybody's done eating what's the point. I also worry about that the chafing dishes are not kept to temperature because the food was cold. The coffee and juice stations were constantly running out of coffee cups as well. You know you have 94 guests you gotta have more than 20 coffee cups. They also had the servers running back-and-forth trying to stock the station. I would've gotten a Cambro that rolls.and hat was covered that had all the refills of the juices in there and extra cups put it on that corner. That way you could stock it as things were running out not making these poor servers run back-and-forth for one carafe. It was not the best. It felt very just put together last minute cash grab.

    This place is pretty darn good! Located in the Lake Nona area. We went here for my girlfriend's birthday brunch and we all had a really good time. The ambiance is very brunch-like but it's a good time. Our service was great and our food was really good! The Benedict I had was so tasty and I would definitely get it again. Would recommend.

    I truly love coming to Canvas and this time was no different. Enjoyed a late dinner with a nice glass of wine and dessert afterward. I ordered the chicken piccata which was full of great flavor and great size portion. Service was very good and the ambiance was nice and quiet with low lighting which was nice. Canvas has yet to disappoint me and I'm look forward to brunch soon!

    Jasmine M.

    The Happy hour prices are really good! I enjoyed this sangria that they make carbonated . We had a party of 20 and they gave us two servers and pretty fast service. The calamari is probably some of the best I've had in a very long time. The grilled chicken dish had a lot of flavor. The ambiance is great for an after work hangout or a nice dinner.

    We wanted to love Canvas. It would have been great to have another terrific non-chain restaurant in our wheelhouse but it just missed the marks in our book. It's a gorgeous locale and a wonderful spot to enjoy the sunset. I would definitely recommend it for happy hour and maybe their handhelds are much better? I had a terrific Aperol spritz, but my husband's watermelon ranch water was as if someone thought about watermelon and dropped a dropped a teensy bit of pink food coloring in the drink. I don't even think a watermelon was waved over the drink. From his wince when he drank it I asked am I going to have to finish your drink? He did drink it, but he really didn't enjoy it. I should have put the three dollars worth of mint? Basil? In my purse for a later use. The bread service is a nice touch that is not so common. The butter was flavorful and well salted. None of the appetizers spoke to us and I knew I wanted dessert. We were both unsure what to get until we saw another diner get the chicken piccata. I love a good piccata but this was overpowered and a far too briny. The chicken was well prepared, but the sauce was just not enjoyable. I love a good caper, but these were the large caper berries and there really was just an over abundance of them. My husband had the bread and butter pudding, he loved the whipped cream, but these pudding was served cold. He ate it, but enjoyed some of my lime/coconut soft serve sundae. Will we back? Most likely not, we'd rather go to Nona Blue where we've never had a bad meal and it was actually more reasonable for the quality.

    This restaurant was BEAUTIFUL especially the patio and view however I wouldn't come back. My friend and I ordered the cod sandwich and both got delivered the chicken cutlet sandwich. The server never came back to check on us so we never got the chance to tell her so we just ate it. It was good but needed more sauce which we also couldn't ask for since she never came back to check on us but checked on the table next to us twice. There was a foxtail coffee inside the restaurant which was cool. Overall it was fine but not super impressed.

    My husband and I decided to celebrate our anniversary at Canvas for lunch. When we walked in the hostess sat us by the lake with a beautiful view. Our waitress was phenomenal and helped us figure out what to get on the menu. All her recommendations were perfection. While we were waiting for our appetizers the server brought us a complimentary glass of champagne for my husband and I to toast to. It was such a nice gesture and the champagne was really good. All of the cocktails were delicious, fresh, and perfectly mixed. All the food was hot, fresh, and you could taste the quality ingredients in every bite. Service, views, food, and drinks were 10/10 and highly recommend.

    Absolutely wonderful experience here again. This time we were here for a bridal shower then was beautiful and elegant. The space was perfect and with a gorgeous view. Staff were very attentive and speedy. All the brunch items and lunch were delicious and plentiful. I always love my standard farmhouse salad. Before headed back home I left with some coffee at the front of the restaurant to keep me boosted.

    Theresa O.

    Love this place for a nice lunch- dinner. I can't leave without an order of the Yuca Fries. My daughter enjoys the views on the lake because she gets to see the ducks below and cows in the distance which is nice. Service isn't an issue here the service we've gotten the two times we've been here has been great!

    Poke salad. See if you can find the poke in the pic. When you do, you won't need your fingers to assist you in counting the pieces of fish
    Brian F.

    With such a terrible rating, I would like to cover some positives. Bad with names, but definitely need to shine light on our Server. She provided exceptional professional customer service The other positive is Canvas has a great location overlooking the water. We requested a table overlooking the water and we were accommodated. The food is where they failed. Biscuits and gravy was so salty it was unbearable after a few bites no matter how hungry I was. The egg was completely overcooked and burned underneath. It was clearly visible and hard to understand how the cook would even allow it to go out. Probably just a lack of personal pride is the only reason. The poke salad was a complete failure. It had probably 2 ounces of fish and included rice as if it was a poke bowl. The greens/veggies don't mix with rice. This is coming from an individual who grew up in the land that created and invented poke

    Baja Fish Tacos, Potatoes Au Gratin, Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps
    Alexis D.

    What to say about @canvaslakenona ? It was a first time experience for me and a friend; and there are mixed reviews. I opted for the Fish Tacos which was served with Yucca Fries and a cilantro sauce, while he chose Pork Belly Lettuce Wrapped Tacos. For our side, we chose the Potatoes Au'Gratin. Honestly, the pork belly tacos were a major hit, I highly suggest to order that in comparison to the others. The fish tacos were incredibly bland. I also suggest to the restaurant to season a bit more. The restaurant is very pretty and great for photo ops.

The rice was good, but very heavy, I didn't eat it all. I'm not sure I'd get it again, but I did like it. Walking out of the restaurant I saw a plate of the carne asada-- I kind of wish I would have gotten that! Then for dessert, we got the tres leches cake. However, it was just SO sugary, that it was too much. between two of us, we couldn't finish it, and it was pretty small. It had its own unique twist. But just way too much sugar in every component. I was very pleased with the whole experience, but wanted something to really knock my socks off to give them 5 stars. If I could give half stars, they'd get 4.5. I recommend you give them a try! And I'll be back again next time I'm in Orlando to try that Carne Asada. Thanks for having me!

Starters included spicy Hamachi Maki, salmon crudo, and a cucumber salad in a sauce so good we kept it on the table to dip everything else into. Drinks were a highlight too. I had a passionfruit mocktail, refreshing and fizzy. My fiancé went with the Japanese-style highball, made with a specialty machine that only three locations in the state have. Super light, smooth, and you feel it way before you really taste it. For dinner I had the Chilean Seabass, easily top two ever, served with a beet radish that was way better than it sounds. My fiancé had the ribeye with wasabi mash and baby corn with crème fraîche. Both were incredible. Dessert was a hazelnut vanilla ice cream situation that reminded me of Ferrero Rocher in gold flakes. Warm, cold, crunchy, creamy, every bite hit differently. Our server Haley was amazing, attentive, knowledgeable, and sweet. We ended the night with a caramel fudge in edible wrapping which was such a cute touch. Foodies, this one's for you. Go.
