I love going to Canvas and for brunch it's even better. We walked in and only had to wait a few…read moremoments before getting seated. Today they had the whole restaurant open so there was a nice breeze coming in from the lake. Our server was great and has served us before, she's great at her job. To start we had a broccoli and cheddar soup, he was the freshest broccoli n cheddar soup I've ever had, and had such a homemade taste to it. Today we order their version of a Monte Cristo and a Chicken BLT with Avocado. The Monte Cristo was pretty good, the only negative was that there was way too much bread compared to the chicken inside the sandwich. The Chicken BLT was delicious and the aioli was super flavorful. Overall great ambiance, service, and food, what more could I ask for.

I came back to canvas with moderate expectations because I didn't particularly enjoy my experience…read morethe last time I was here, this time it was for magical dining. The wait staff was way more attentive this time, filling my water every moment it was even half empty. They walked us through any items that we had questions about and was very thorough in their explanation in case there were ingredients that we might've not enjoyed. As part of my magical dining experience, I got the calamari, the meatloaf, and the bread pudding, ALL of which were fantastic. The calamari came crispy and stayed that way even though we sat outside in the humidity. It was dressed in a sweet sour spicy sauce - this was the standout appetizer of the 3 that we ordered. The calamari came with spicy chilis that the waitress asked if I wanted on the side minding my spice tolerance, I asked for it to be as the chef prepares it which is right on top, I should've asked for it on the side because it was very spicy. Fortunately, the spice does not permeate through the sauce and I was able to pick around the chilies. The meatloaf was ok but I can't really complain about a dish that is boring to begin with. Everything was good but nothing innovative or interesting. Very hearty and a lot of food, but if this dish was a paint color, it would be agreeable-gray - a crowd pleaser, filling, and no fuss. I will preface the dessert with the fact that I love bread pudding, i compare all bread puddings to Ohana's at Disney's Polynesian resort, and this definitely met or exceeded that bar. The portion was perfectly served in a mini cocotte, the bread was toasted on the top, gooey on the inside, full butterscotch flavors throughout, it was heavenly as we watched the sun set behind of the beautiful lake where the restaurant sits. The food here has definitely upgraded but my main complain that I had before was the attentiveness of the waitstaff and they turned that completely around. A great place to check out that I will return to many times.

The Curious Cork - Lake Nona, FL A Place Worth Experiencing!…read more From the moment I walked into The Curious Cork, I knew I had found something special! The ambience was AMAZING--sophisticated, classy, and elegant, yet still warm, welcoming, and family-friendly. It was the perfect balance of upscale and comfortable, and honestly, it was exactly the atmosphere I had been craving! I visited on a Wednesday evening and was pleasantly surprised by the live violinist. The music was beautiful, the volume was perfect, and it added such a classy touch without overpowering conversation. Everything about the atmosphere felt intentional. Sometimes you walk into a place and immediately know the vibe is right. That was my experience here! Shout-out to Bo! Bo was knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to introduce me to their unique self-serving wine system featuring 64 selections--32 reds and 32 whites! I thought that was such a cool concept and DIFFERENT! He also explained the evening's specials, including what I understood to be approximately 25% off certain bottles, and informed me about happy hour from 4-6 p.m. I appreciated that he took the time to explain the options and make the experience enjoyable. Stephanie, aka Steph -- Hospitality at Its Finest! Steph was attentive, welcoming, and aware of what was happening around her. She made sure I was taken care of from the moment I walked in until I left. You could tell she genuinely cared about the guest experience, and that kind of attentiveness makes a difference! I also had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners. What stood out was how engaged he was and how genuinely interested he seemed in hearing feedback from customers. I LOVE seeing owners who are present, involved, and connected to their establishment. That personal touch makes guests feel valued and says a lot about the culture of a business! Shannon, YOU DESERVE YOUR FLOWERS! Now, let's talk about Shannon, my bartender! I hope I'm spelling his name correctly! His service was PHENOMENAL! One of my biggest pet peeves is having trash, dirty plates, or clutter sitting in front of me. Shannon was on top of everything! Even when I opened a straw and set the wrapper down, he promptly moved it out of my way. That might seem like a small thing, but I notice details like that. It showed attentiveness, awareness, and pride in his work. He was quick, professional, knowledgeable about the menu, and took the time to explain the beverages. His pours were excellent, and you could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. I even loved the little two-step he did while talking about the drinks! His personality, energy, and engagement made the experience even better. Honestly, his hospitality was so good I wanted to pack him up and take him home! And the liquor selection? Top-notch. You can tell that thought and care have gone into selecting the spirits and beverages offered here. I appreciate a place that takes its drink program seriously, from the quality of the selections to the way everything is presented. Pricing will naturally vary, but the overall experience made me appreciate the attention to detail even more. My Rating: 8/10 Why not a 10? I didn't try the food or visit the restroom, so I can't honestly rate those areas yet. I believe in giving fair reviews based on what I've personally experienced. Those are definitely on my list for my next visit! Lake Nona, PUT THIS PLACE ON YOUR LIST! What I loved most was how The Curious Cork made me feel. I came in solo, but I left feeling like family! The atmosphere was comfortable, the hospitality was genuine, and the overall experience made me want to come back. Whether you're looking for somewhere to decompress after work, enjoy premium drinks, listen to live music, or simply relax in a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere, The Curious Cork is worth checking out! This experience has earned a spot among my top three places in the area--and honestly, it may be moving into my top two! Thank you to Bo, Steph, Shannon, and the entire team for making my visit so enjoyable. I haven't experienced the food yet, but the hospitality, atmosphere, and beverage experience have already given me a reason to return. I came in as one person and left feeling like I had found my people. The Curious Cork, I'll definitely be back!

I made a reservation, but when I arrived, only a few people were sitting at the bar, so I practically had the entire dining room to myself. Phyre is located on a quiet street just steps away from St. Cloud City Hall. The décor features black velvet booths, black chairs, and marble tables. It isn't fancy, but it has a cool, modern vibe. They even had a huge Christmas tree still on display, decorated in preparation for the Fourth of July, which definitely caught my attention. Allie was my host and server, and she was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout my visit. Every restaurant needs a Allie. She was amazing! If Phyre management reads this, she needs a raise. I mean absolutely wonderful service! I started with what they call the "Our Fashion" cocktail and their famous pretzels served with beer cheese . The cocktail was enjoyable, and I can see why the pretzels get so much attention. They were soft, warm, and fresh. I would have preferred a little less salt, but then again, it wouldn't really be a pretzel. The cheese sauce could have been hotter, but it was flavorful and paired well with the pretzels. For my entrée, I ordered the surf and turf featuring filet medallions, three crab-stuffed shrimp, and a side of garlic mashed potatoes. The food arrived surprisingly quickly, which I appreciated. The filet medallions were cooked to a perfect medium and had a nice slight crisp on the outside, although they weren't quite as hot as I would have liked. It was served towith a delicious wine sauce that really elevated the dish. The crab stuffed shrimp were flavorful, and the garlic mashed potatoes were a great complement to the meal. Overall, I enjoyed my Sunday dinner at Phyre. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food delivered a satisfying steakhouse experience. I'd definitely return to try more of the menu.

A perk of going early was we were able to participate in happy hour! We got some discounted old-fashioned, which were lovely. For dinner the portions were large and since we got Bite30, we got three courses. I got the fish bites and it was a generous portion, they were fresh and light, and I shared them with my baby. I think he ate more than I did! For dinner, I got the ribs, with mac & cheese. The ribs were flavorful, and the mac & cheese was seasoned very well! To be honest, I don't remember what I got for dessert, I think it was toffee cake or bread, pudding or something? It was very good though, my husband got the Keylime and he was jealous of my dessert. The manager and the chef both came out and said hello and checked on us, which we both appreciated. It was a great experience overall, we want to come back and try their brunch!
