    Sauté Shishido peppers
    Sarretta M.

    After a long day of travel, we decided to try our hotel restaurant. It is a somewhat limited menu and clean, bright decor. We see it quickly and the food was filling and tasty. The staff was friendly and attentive, and our server recommended the shishito peppers as an appetizer. A large amount of peppers came out and they were absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the fish tacos with a side of sweet potato fries while I had the Smashburger has a lettuce wrap and also ordered a side of sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were especially good - perfectly fried and not over salted. My husband said the fish tacos were good and the fish was very fresh. My burger was tasty. The next morning we came back for breakfast. Perhaps because it was the weekend, they also had a breakfast buffet in addition to their menu. We opted for the buffet, which turned out to be very good and a good deal. Although the contents were basically a continental warm breakfast with eggs, sausage, potatoes, oatmeal, and toast, at $15 a person with drink included it was a very good deal and very filling! I also appreciate the fact that on the bill, the recommended tip amount is based on the subtitle before tax!

    Short rib frites with truffle fries!

    We had wanted to try Tempo and Grace as it shows up on our OpenTable often and we live pretty close. Decided to give it a try and were not disappointed. We were immediately seated on a booth that had a tv at the end, pretty cool! We opted for pretzel bites as our app, which were sooo good! For our entrees, we ordered the short rib frites, the fresh codfish tacos and the crispy chicken piccata. Everything was delicious! Our food came out quick and was tasty and fresh. For dessert we tried the s'mores brownie. It was pretty good though a little messy. I'd opt for no cinnamon on the brownie, but that's a taste preference. Our server and runner were friendly and on top of everything. We will definitely be back!!

    Wings were good, nothing special. Fries were bad, came out soggy and cold, as if they've been sitting under a heat lamp. No salt on them. A shame because the sage chicken and red snapper entrees were very good and well cooked. Ambiance was not great, definitely felt like you were sitting in a cafeteria of a hotel lobby. Bright fluorescent lighting offered a very stale vibe. Service was mid, watched the server do something else while our drinks sat at the bar for at least 10 minutes. Then she hollered across the restaurant for the host to bring it over to us.

    This restaurant is located inside the A Loft Hotel. The hosts were very nice and accommodating . The location is spacious, clean and artsy. The waitress was very pleasant and patient she explained the food items to us. We came after Happy Hour which stops at 7. I recommend this if you want excellent customer service. The waitress Arianna is an outstanding waitress and has great customer service skills.

    I went the other night with my husband and had a wonderful time! We showed up not knowing what to expect, since it's part of a hotel, but everything was great! The restaurant was beautiful and clean! It was a quiet night, but our waitress was super attentive and made sure everything was okay. The food was absolutely delicious, we decided to try a few appetizers and every single one was great! The drink I got, called the boombox came in a fun mug!! I will definitely be coming back to this place again!!

    The Heroes Cocktail.

    Tempo + Grace is located inside the Aloft Hotel in Lake Nona and is such a good addition to the Nonahood!! Located just down the road from USTA, Tempo + Grace is a handcrafted kitchen with dishes made from locally sourced ingredients and it has a really cute sports theming inside. Right next to Tempo + Grace is the W XYZ Bar which offers some delicious cocktails and a really great drink menu that you can get in the restaurant. We started with some cocktails and I got their signature Boombox Cocktail which was so delicious and came in the cutest glassware. My husband picked the Heroes Cocktail which was also delicious and made with Casamigos Tequila, which we love. Next up was an appetizer and we picked the Muhammara and it was incredible!!! Probably my favorite thing of the entire meal. For our main dishes we had the Grilled Flat Iron Steak and the Seared Atlantic Salmon. I LOVED the salmon and it had an amazing crunch to it since it had crispy quinoa on top. For dessert we picked The Dublin Chocolate Cake which was so yummy and the perfect size. We really liked the chocolate ganache that was on the plate with it. YUM. Since we live only 10 minutes or so from the Aloft hotel we will for sure be coming back to Tempo + Grace soon to try out some other menu items. They serve brunch on Sundays so I am pretty sure that is what we will check out next.

    Great new restaurant that opened up inside Aloft. Nice atmosphere within the restaurant. Food was very tasty. Loved the crunch of the quinoa and mint oil with the salmon. Service was great, the server was knowledgable of items on the menu. Can't wait to see the menu expand and will be back to try other items on the menu here.

    This place was quiet on a Thursday. The service was excellent, attentive but not intrusive. The drinks and food were excellent and the ambiance was cozy.

    Side Kale Caesar & Sage Butter Chicken (already ate 1 piece of chicken before pic)

    Food is always 10/10 at Tempo & Grace. We started off with the deviled eggs and grilled smoked chicken wings. The deviled eggs were on the mustardy side, which I love. The wings had a nice spice mix, right amount of smoke, and good texture. The jalapeño ranch dip elevated the wings in the best way. For dinner, we split the sage butter chicken (comes with two big pieces of chicken) which came with parsnip purée, bourbon glazed carrots and bulgar and also got a side kale Caesar salad. The chicken was so moist and juicy. The waitress mentioned they inject the chicken with the sage butter and it paid off. The parsnip purée was like something I never had. Had restraint to not lick the plate. Carrots were also really good in the bourbon glaze. The star for me was the kale salad. Between the homemade dressing, the crunchy sourdough croutons, the chunks of cheese and roasted tomatoes, it was the best bite of food. They need to bottle that dressing. I also loved that they used purple kale, which was my first time having. Very crunchy and stood up to being well dressed (not over dressed- perfectly dressed). The restaurant has a very nice hip vibe, very Lake Nona. And the wait staff is always on point. Looking forward to trying more items on their menu.

    Cocktails and appetizers (boom box cocktail) highly recommend!

    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.

    We visited Canvas Restaurant & Market for Magical Dining and it was definitely a good choice!…read more We started with the Crispy Point Judith Calamari and Spinach & Artichoke Dip, and both were delicious. For our entrées, we had Joe's Mac & Five Cheese with grilled chicken and the Braised Short Rib Meatloaf. That mac & cheese was rich, cheesy and absolutely NOT interested in being a side dish. And the short rib meatloaf with the mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy was great. Then came dessert because apparently we still had room. The Bread & Butter Pudding and Nutella Donuts were the perfect ending. We also tried the Blood Orange Cosmo and Nona Sunset, and both drinks were really good. But I HAVE to shout out our server, Samuel. He was PHENOMENAL! Attentive, personable, knowledgeable and just genuinely added to the entire experience. Great service can take a good dinner to another level, and Samuel absolutely did that. Everything we tried was awesome, the portions were generous, and Magical Dining was a great way to experience the menu. 10/10; good food, good drinks, great service and the restaurant was nice and quiet.

    UPDATE: Gave Chroma another try, and I'm so glad I did!…read more After my previous experience, I decided to give Chroma another chance and this visit was a complete turnaround. 5/5! The service was stellar from start to finish, and the food was amazing. The Moroccan Spiced Lamb Chops were easily the highlight and honestly some of the best lamb chops I've had. They were perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. The Coal-Roasted Carrots were also cooked perfectly and were such a great side. The Sticky Edamame was great, but the Whipped Ricotta Crostini with Sicilian pistachio butter was AMAZING. The fluffy, creamy ricotta paired with the pistachio was such a good combination and definitely something I would order again. We finished with the Mixed Berry Cheesecake, which was delicious and the perfect ending to the meal. I'm really glad I decided to give Chroma another try because this experience completely changed my impression. Between the stellar service, amazing food, and atmosphere, this was easily a 5/5 visit. I'll absolutely be back, especially for those lamb chops and the whipped ricotta crostini!

Service: this may be up for debate, but it took way too long. 2 hours for a magical dining experience is too much. Servers were nice and very attentive, but either chose to delay service or expected a new drink order with each course. It seemed to be they waited til first course was done before next course was placed woth kitchen. Food came out hot and fantastic, but stretching a simple meal over 2 hours was very unexpected and not needed.

For my main, I went with the Florida Snapper. The fish was cooked perfectly, and everything on the plate worked really well together. I also upgraded to the wine pairing, and I'm really glad I did. The guy who came to the table with wine was awesome. He didn't just pour and walk away they explained where each wine was from, what it was made from, and why it paired with the course. That made the wine pairing feel like part of the experience and definitely worth the upgrade. Then came the Tropical Tres Leches... I LOVED it! Easily my favorite and the perfect way to finish dinner. Overall, BACÁN had great food, atmosphere and service with an awesome wine pairing, and a dessert I'd definitely come back for.

    So I'm giving a three because I know all too well how Meson is supposed to taste. I can't expect…read morethe ones in FL to be like the ones in PR however, I expect much of the same business model. The bread, meson is known from tasty crunchy bread and this falls short. It was soggy and I've never had a soggy bread from there. The rest of the food tasted a tad different but not bad. Now the coffee was an abomination because that is one thing they are known for in PR but the coffee tasted awful. Not sure if they are doing a different ratio but they need to be retrained. The employees were friendly but the place needs to be cleaned better.

I saw in one corner this sandwich shop that I've never been to. I think they are Cuban. Correct me if I'm wrong. I got the Montevristo Sandwich. It's a combination of ham, Swiss cheese and mustard, Dipped in egg then pan fried until golden and gooey. For hubby, roast beef sandwich. They've also used Cuban bread pressed. My husband said, it was ok. I liked the crispness of the bread which makes me savor every bite. The sandwiches were not dry and tasted fresh and good. We could have shared one sandwich but I wanted to experience another type to review. The ambience at that time was quiet. The place is clean. Not too busy decor that makes it looking clear. I recommend this place.
