Food was fresh and unique. Ambiance was lovely and quaint, even on Easter Sunday. Service was great and she was attentive to our needs.

First visit to Chroma last Saturday evening and we really loved it. We were seated immediately outside on their covered patio. We ordered Chicken Satay appetizer ($11.75) three skewers of grilled chicken with peanut sauce to dip into, Chroma Sliders ($16.25) white cheddar, bacon jam and chroma sauce, Chopped Salad ($13.75), and Seared Tuna + Crispy Rice ($20.25). We also shared Bread Pudding with a salted caramel sauce and gelato for dessert and it was incredible. Everything was well prepared and flavorful. These are smaller portions and just enough for the three of us. Service was really good and professional more like what you would expect at finer dining restaurants. The outside patio was nice as there was a breeze and each table had fly prevention fans on the tabletop which was excellent. They have a decent sized menu and they do offer some larger entrees to share which we will have to return to experience. This is a definite recommend and a place we will return to. Beautiful area that this restaurant is located in within the Lake Nona Med Center. Outside the restaurant in the courtyard there were several vendors set up selling things for Mother's Day. This itself was a beautiful area to spend time in. Free parking via garage. read more

Okay, so it's been a hot minute since I've visited Chroma. I remembered really liking it when I visited for the Yelp event. Let's start with the positives, I really thought the service was great. The food did take longer than I'd hoped with a baby but it was a Saturday night. My girl was doing great for the first 30 minutes but it was difficult after that. I love that the patio is dog friendly, we brought our fur baby too, he enjoyed people watching. They also brought him a dog bowl with water right away. The food was a disappointment. I think the best thing we had was the tuna with crispy rice and it was a sad thin portion of tuna, like $21. Some of the other dishes we tried was the crab cakes, the burrata pistachio and the tuna stack. I liked the tuna stack also. The lamb sliders sounded great on the menu, but they were super dry and had no flavor. We also tried some sides, the brussel sprouts and the fries. I did like those, the Brussels were almost too saucy tho. The fries were nice and crispy. The side of fries were kinda small for the price. Someone at our table also got the shrimp risotto, that was sad and very bland. I'm kinda sad about my experience, because I remembered the last time being good for food. Service rescued the poor quality for food. read more

I really enjoy coming here. I'm not on this side of town very often but when I am, I try to eat here. I was a little nervous because we were walking in on a Saturday night but they were able to seat us in 10 minutes (shocked!). I love that this place is mostly shareable plates. It's fun to go with someone that will actually share! Everything we ordered was really great. The Chroma sliders had nice soft buns and juicy meat. The Crispy rice was so good. Loved the crispy brussels sprouts. They do a smoke old fashioned right! The desserts are surprisingly big! Chocolate mousse and butterscotch bread pudding were very different experiences but both great! I will say this place has a "moody, dark" ambiance. I think it'd be great for a date night. I've also been here for a company function so they can accommodate larger groups too. Wish I lived closer! read more

Loved the brunch vibe at Chroma. They had a dj who played all the jams! The space is large with plenty of seating options. One of my favorite bites was the patatas bravas. Didn't care too much for my shrimp and grits though - just okay. Service was Fast and friendly! read more

Like other Yelpers mentioned, the ambiance and decor was nice but the food fell short. Service could have been better too Got seated right away at the best seat in the house, the large middle booth facing out and got a great view of everything The Greek with 2 salmon skewers was $18.25 and asked if we could add the lamb as well and for 2 lamb lollipops, it was going to be about $20 which was more than the entire entree itself that came with accompaniments which didn't seem to make much sense The hummus in the Greek dish was wildly overly salty. A complete salt bomb that made my face cringe and had us drinking our waters fast with no refills until we paid for the check and was about to leave. Told the server how salty it was and was told she'll let the chefs know... No apologies given, replacement or a substitute to replace the overly salty hummus so we just had to eat around it and deal with the food that was already touching it when it was plated. Definitely could have had better customer service at this point The maitake mushrooms was the best of all the dishes but not the nicest looking plate, pollo a la plancha was decent and the Cajun rice could have been more flavored. This place could elevate their cuisine a bit more to match the appearance of the establishment read more

I love this restaurant! Really enjoyed everything from the service, to the DJ playing great music the whole time, the drinks were delicious to include the food. As big as our party was, we was attended perfectly. A great location to have your girls day. We couldn't complain about anything. The whole restaurant is a great photo op. Loved it! read more

Before we start any reviews, let's start with INA (not sure of spelling) IS the BEST. Talk about a bartender who is responsive, attentive and anticipates your needs at a crowded bar. What absolute exceptional service. And now I am spoiled by INA. So you can call me spoiled from here out. It is INA's fault. On to Chroma, the place is modern, the decor is beautiful, there is a great selection of spirits, and the food is top notch. For the price point, the portions are actually worth it. For two at brunch with food and drinks, expect about $100 including tip if you are drinking modesty. Located in Lake Nona Florida in the Medical City complex, the music was like Bad Bunny on rewind which absolutely suits the ambiance, with some Kendrick and upbeat music. The brunch menu was great, some hand helds and entrees like shrimp and grits. I had the chicken tostones (exceptionally delicious). Also enjoyed a side of bacon, benets and an eggs sandwich on brioche. All I know is I truly loved the experience. Oh, and they carry 4 or 5 of the craft beers from Park Pizza Brewing which is literally across the way. You can walk out the door of Chroma and in just a few step be in a brewery. Thanks INA and Chroma for making my Sunday Brunch experience next level. Can't wait until next time. read more

Loved everything about this place. The vibe was perfect--cute, modern decor and a DJ that set the mood without being too loud, so it was great for conversation. I went for a friend's birthday and it was such a good spot for celebrating. Our servers, Evelyn and Diego, were amazing--super attentive and friendly. I ordered the molten strawberry French toast and it was so good: crunchy on the outside, soft inside, huge portion, and totally worth it. I also got eggs on the side. I tasted everyone's food at the table and honestly everything looked and tasted delicious. The tostones were great, and the chicken tenders were a hit too. Definitely would go back and highly recommend for brunch or a fun get-together. read more

Wow! A great brunch spot. I recommend reservations. We were seated right away. I absolutely loved everything we ordered. For cocktails, we started with the No Kids on Tuesday. The passion fruit was perfect for this brunch. We shared the Roasted Beet + Goat Cheese. This dish was perfect to start with. Lightly tossed in an aged balsamic vinegratte dressing. Just perfect. Followed by the Chroma Benedict. Three English Muffins topped with eggs and a delicious brown butter hollandaise sauce. Two thumbs up. Finished our experience with the Molten Strawberry French Toast. It was delicious. It's a generous portion. Enough to share with two. They had jamming music the whole time. It was a great mix. We just wanted to stay longer just for the fun vibes. read more

Chroma is a gorgeous eatery with a really forward thinking menu and some top notch cocktails. The location is fantastic, situated in the heart of the Boxi Park area with some beautiful surroundings. Spacious, classy, and extremely inviting. This is a definite Date Night location for sure! Similar to a Tapas style restaurant, there are small plates for sharing, larger entree offerings for everyone (steaks, fish dishes, and even a few vegetarian offerings) and then some much larger shared dishes. There is no doubt that Chroma is high class. Our server, Katie was magnificent! I don't think my water ever got empty and she was extremely attentive and pleasant. We had no reservation, having decided on a whim to stop for a small bite and a cocktail after work, and got seated almost immediately and with no pretentious fuss. We started with a couple of drinks, I opted for the Sunset Shandy which was a blend of blanco tequila, mezcal and prosecco garnished with lava salt, jalapeño and blackberries. It was phenomenal! Smokey and sweet, mezcal forward with a little bite. My wife opted for a sparkling rosé that was refreshing and bright. For the meal we split the chicken satay, corn fritters, and Chroma Sliders. The chicken was flavorful and moist with a very tasty (if a bit sweet) peanut sauce, the sliders had a delightful sauce and were well prepared. The corn fritters had really great flavor, I enjoyed the slight spice from the chorizo and the sweet pop of the fresh corn, the texture was a bit softer than I care for but that's the only real failing on the menu and I call that a success. The pricing is definitely on the higher end with cocktails and wine offerings starting at $15. Probably my only real point of contention. While the cocktail I had I really enjoyed, I've definitely had more enjoyable cocktails in the downtown Orlando area for less, but I won't fault them for knowing their clientele and their price point. Expect to pay a premium for the location, and don't be surprised by the "Arts and Entertainment" fee tacked onto the bill. I was a bit taken aback by the 1% fee and frankly had to google it because there is no explanation on the menu or check, but it seems that it goes toward the maintenance and growth of the area around Boxi Park and Lake Nona. You *can* opt out and have it removed from your check if you are opposed to it. All in all Chroma was delicious, and a great spot to check out at least once, and certainly for a special occasion. read more

Visited Chroma in Lake Nona with some friends and was honestly impressed! We went close to closing, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves, which made the experience even better. The restaurant is gorgeous inside and out--super stylish with a really cool atmosphere. Our waiter was extremely friendly and gave us great recommendations since it was our first time dining there. We kicked things off with some of their house cocktails. I had the Champagne Poppy made with Hennessy, and it was definitely a must-try. We shared the Crab and Artichoke Dip while waiting for our entrées, and it did not disappoint. Then the real show began when a cart was wheeled over to our table. I ordered the Parm-to-Table experience, and wow. It's a Truffle Fettuccine Alfredo prepared tableside in a massive parmesan wheel. Absolute perfection. And of course, I had to add steak because why not lol? Chroma delivered on every level--from the vibe to the food to the service. If you're looking for great food and a cool atmosphere in the Lake Nona area, I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

On a recent girls dinner we decided to come to Chroma and oh no not ever again on a Friday night . It was so loud we couldn't hear one another talk nor get to catch up so ended grabbing a drink at the bar and having dinner elsewhere. I'll stick to brunch here on Sundays instead ! read more

The staff and our server were fantastic! Love the vibe of the restaurant. We snagged a table on the patio - which was absolutely perfect as "Oh what fun!"Holiday event was happening. So, can you say festive holiday cheer was in the air. So... I would have given a 5 for the restaurant and staff. But, one of the individuals in my party ordered the skirt steak wedge salad. To say that the salad was a huge disappointment may be an understatement. The biggest problem? The actual lettuce - it was missing the "green". It was white and flavorless. Super sad that the kitchen made it like this and even more unfortunate that the runner brought it out to the table. Now - I ordered the avocado fries for the table - DELICIOUS!! I also ordered the chopped salad with steak. The steak is cooked perfectly, but even my salad was lackluster. If I am back in Lake Nona I would be willing to give this restaurant one more try, because I do think that it has potential and sometimes mistakes are made read more

I got the chipotle chicken tacos and felt it needed to have some type of sauce on the side but overall the seasoning they mixed into the chicken tasted good. The tuna tartar was 10/10 I loved how fresh the ahi tuna was and the avocado on top paired with it nicely. The restaurant was nice to look at inside and the bar stood out to me with the lighting fixtures. The hostess lady wasn't too kind but the server I had was very kind and knowledgeable on the menu. I'm not rushing to go back, but I would go again and get smaller portions. Overall good food spot and the appetizers were my favorite dishes ! read more

The food was pretty good, the brussel sprouts were absolutely amazing. Service on a week night was a little spotty. The bar was nice, though the tightness provided little room for passing if a table was receiving a table side pasta service (which looked amazing). If you are auditorially sensitive, this spot may not be for you. You may consider take out as the food was tasty. read more

Perfect spot for happy hour with the girls, it's in a beautiful part of Lake Nona with so much to do surrounding it. You can grab a delicious meal and take a nice walk around after, even grab dessert at a local ice cream shop or have another drink in Boxi Park. The service is incredible, from the host, bartender and server. Let me tell you these brussels sprouts are THE BEST YOU WILL EVER TRY. I ate the entire plate before my entree. The entree portion sizes aren't amazing but if you get a few plates and share you'll be just fine. I'm not a fan of the "smoky" taste (think of Mezcal), but if you are you'll love the crab & artichoke dip as a starter. read more

Chroma has become a regular spot for me. Came in to grab dinner with my friend. I looked at the zero proof menu and wanted the yuzu ginger sour but I'm not doing dry January. The waiter said they could add alcohol to it. It was a really good drink. I did the chicken tostones to snack on. It's one of my usual favorites. The chicken is juicy and flavorful. Had a great meal and drink at chroma! Our server Diego was pretty awesome as well. Go see him! read more

First time here and wow, Chroma did not disappoint! I love a good tapas moment and this place delivered. We grabbed a high top, ordered a couple of martinis, the ribs appetizer, and the whipped ricotta crostinis. Everything was chef's kiss delicious. Our server Hannah was an absolute rockstar. Exceptional service from start to finish and she made us feel so welcomed. Next time we are in Lake Nona, you can bet we will be back, probably ordering those crostinis again, maybe even two orders this time. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great food, amazing service, and a fun atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Chroma Modern Bar and Kitchen stays true to its name through its sleek, modern aesthetic that is perfectly coupled with beautiful, Instagram worthy food that leaves you wanting more! I personally ordered the Hot Chicken and Waffles and I am so pleased to say that the dish is just as good as it looks! Presentation was 10/10 with a perfect balance of hot and sweet perfectly coupled with the sour pickled veg on top! The Braised Chicken Tostones were a welcome little snack which is great to share with the whole table. The only gripe I have with their food is that I feel like overall, their portions ran on the smaller side so I definitely recommend ordering an appetizer or sharing with friends! They also have a large selection of cocktails you can order. I asked the friendly server which drink was on the sweeter side and they recommended the Skinny Dipper and I'm here to recommend it to you guys! The drink was refreshing without it being too sweet and is the perfect drink to sip on while eating their delicious food. They even had a live DJ playing some bangers while we were eating and drinking, it was great! Overall, Chroma Modern Bar and Kitchen is a nice place to visit if you're looking for exactly what you expect the name to entail: fancy looking food, a modern aesthetic, and tasty drinks! read more

This is my go-to place when I'm on my own. The ambiance is loud, busy yet the service is fast and the food can be a hit or miss but they're usual things on the menu with a spin to the dishes. Unless you're going for brunch, they're tapas options --small and delicious. There's also amazing alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks. I came the day before Easter (today) and while they had a dedicated menu for Easter weekend brunch I got the strawberry molten French Toast--so good! It's crunchy in the outside and moist with strawberry cheesecake filling and dulce de leche in the bottom. Like I said this is my go-to. I usually come just for the butterscotch banana bread but the French toast was sweet enough I didn't feel like ordering the desert. read more

Chroma in Lake Nona is all style, no substance. This place is trendy for sure, but the hype ends there. Service was painfully slow and inattentive--just waiting for basic things took forever. Other tables were visibly frustrated and even sending food back, which should've been a warning sign. We ordered the chilaquiles and got six tiny chips with barely anything on them--felt like a joke. The chicken tenders had an awful texture, like they'd been sitting under a heat lamp too long. And the fish and chips? Completely mushy, no crisp or hardly any fish to speak of. Every dish looked nice, but that's where the effort stopped. If you're looking for good food and decent service, skip the aesthetic gimmick and go somewhere that actually delivers on the basics. read more

Chroma never disappoints with their shareables that can also easily be a main course. My favorite is the guava and goat cheese flatbread. The "sauce" is guava goodness and sprinkled with micro greens and goat cheese is perfection. Brussels sprouts even for the veggie haters can't be resisted. Caramelized but not sweet, just melts in your mouth from grill to good eats. Chroma sliders come with two but the meat is thick, cheese and bacon jam all make it like you're eating a full size burger at a gourmet restaurant. Even my picky husband who dislikes pretentious food loves this place because the flavors are elevated, but portion sizes good and creative combinations of various types of cuisine. Ambiance is modern and relaxed. Prices are a bit high for wine as you pay for pour/oz. But the food worth the prices. read more

We had brunch here during the Lake Nona Art Festival. The service and food was great. However, It does get a little loud so just keep that in mind.

My wife and I had just a flown cross country to Orlando, and when we were picked up by her son and his wife, they asked us if we were hungry. Of course we were so they knew about this place called Chroma, located in the Lake Nona Town Center. We were seated immediately, and our server, Evelyn, introduced herself and asked if we had ever dined there. The other two had, but we hadn't so she took the time to explain to us their different types of food. My wife's son ordered the Corned Beef Brisket Empanadas, Brussels Sprouts, Chroma Sliders, and Crispy Pork Belly Pad Thai. The empanadas corned beef brisket, sauerkraut, swiss, and came with a thousand island sauce. Excellent. The Brussels Sprouts were cooked just right, and the Sliders were not just huge, they were cooked a perfect medium, covered with bacon/onion jam, Chroma Sauce, and white cheddar. Our Pad Thai had pork belly, and was cooked just right. We left full and happy. read more

Celebrated my grandson's birthday here at Chroma - Bar & Grill Lake Nona, on Saturday. We had a large party of twenty-one. Everyone ordered steaks that was delicious. No sides included with the steak but you can order sides à la carte. I ordered the Brussel sprouts that was amazing. The service was outstanding! Kudos, to the staff for making it an enjoyable evening for my family. I gave them four stars because they don't serve rolls or bread with the entrée. If you like bread order the artichoke dip that comes with seasoned bread slices...wow, so good! Foodies, this is the place to go for that special night out, with delicious food and drinks. Also, it can be a little pricey depending on what you order. read more

After having passed by Chroma a few times, I finally got to go for brunch with a few friends. We were a rather large group and we all had mixed feelings about our food, but personally I was okay with mine. It wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't impressive. I ended up getting the Chroma Benedict, which were three small eggs with hollandaise sauce, Canadian bacon, and English muffin. The portion was perfect for me, but what was missing for me was flavor. The sauce didn't give me a lot of flavor, the eggs seemed to lack salt and the muffin was a bit hard to eat with a fork and knife. The only good thing about the dish was the Canadian bacon. I should also mention that I don't ever eat eggs Benedict, but I wanted to try something different. I also ended up getting a sangria, which was delicious! I loved that it wasn't overly sweet and not too bitter either! It was just right. Aside from that this place is nice, loved the decor and ambiance. The service was good as well. read more

Been here more than 10 times and not once have been disappointed. Service food vibes 10/10

Right here in Orlando. When management only allows bunch and wine menus I don't fill like they want people to see what really is offered. Why hide anything? I use yelp to see what they offer and if the location won't allow that I'm going to move on. Just saying read more

The service here alone is always amazing. I keep coming back because the bartenders are so great. They're not only warm and friendly, but they give great suggestions too on food and drinks.

Great all around, must try the tuna tar tar and the edamame. Great vibes to be celebrating on any occasion

It's been a few years since we visited Chroma because it was an unpleasant experience when we went after the chef left. I went for some small bites with friends last weekend and it was pleasant. The tuna tartare was really tasty and the edamame was very crave-able. The only thing I didn't care for was the pad thai. There seemed to be some good flavor in the underlying sauce but it was completely overpowered by smoke flavor. It seemed more liquid smoke as I can't imagine the pork belly being quite so strong, but it's possible. Overall we had a nice time and I'd like to try more dishes to see if they also improved since our last visit. read more
