    Truffle potatoes...tasty!
    Vannessa W.

    My husband and I recently dined at Bacan and we had a very pleasant experience. The restaurant itself has a great vibe, boasting beautiful hanging light fixtures throughout. Both the host and our waitress were friendly and welcoming, setting the tone for our evening. I ordered an amaretto sour, which turned out to be the best one I've ever had, and the gnudi for my entree, which I enjoyed overall though I do wish it had been just a tad bit more flavorful (nothing a little salt couldn't handle). Hubby had the carne asada with a side of truffle potatoes, both which he enjoyed very much. The reasons why I'm not giving Bacan five stars is due to their limited vegetarian/vegan options (especially in this day and age) and because some items (I'm looking at you, carne asada) are overpriced for what they are. Let me be clear that my husband enjoyed is carne asada, there's no question about that. It's just that it didn't quite match it's price.

    Citrus Tres Leches

    Who would say no to $60.00 for a three course meal at a Michelin recommended restaurant. Certainly not I, and certainly not when I'm treating a friend for her belated celebratory Birthday meal during Orlando's Magical Dining Month. Bacan, meaning cool or awesome in Spanish, definitely lived up to the hype. Upon entering the contemporary and stylish Lake Nona Wave Hotel and upon making our way to our table at the far end of the restaurant, you're surrounded by eclectic art, design, and architecture. Everywhere you look there is something to behold. And that beautiful presentation extended itself to our evening meal. But an eventual five star meal not only includes what is served but also the service one gets at such an establishment. To the end, our server, Jay blew it out of the park! Having a waitperson who knows every ingredient in every dish and how it is prepared and who has a personality that engages and educates you is a golden unicorn in the server world. Kudos to the management and chef of Bacan for having such a star on your roster! But of course to the food...and drink. The Birthday girl had a glass of PInot Noir and I had a Basil Tai Cocktail which was a variation on the classic Mai Tai served with a blended rum and basil. So refreshing! Then came an incredible Amuse Bouche of Aji Amarillo (Peruvian Peppers) and Octopus, With this starter I knew this was the first stop on a magnificent culinary journey. Soon after, appetizers of Hamachi (Yellowtail Tuna) and Charred Octopus arrived. Marvelous! We both upgraded our entrees with my guest having a Filet and Ribeye for moi. Paired with sides of Truffle Potatoes and Sherry Mushrooms the taste sensation was phenomenal! Finally, we ended with a Citrus Tres Leches and a Cafe En La Niebla (Dominican Chocolate Brownie) for desserts. Spectacular! Bacan is undoubtedly one the best restaurants in Central Florida and our meal with upgrades came out much more than $60.00 per person but, hey...as Pitbull would say..."Dale"...just go ahead and do it...you won't be disappointed!

    The restaurant was truly incredible. The ambience and lighting were soft and inviting and the decor felt elegant from the moment we walked in. The vibe was flawless and my friends and I enjoyed every moment of our dinner. Each dish arrived beautifully plated by the Chef. I ordered the snapper and expected a whole fish, but it arrived as a delicate fillet that gave the entire meal a gourmet touch. The cream and sauce paired with it took the flavor to another level. We added the shareable potatoes which were delicious and my friend ordered the ribs and could not stop talking about how good they were. We skipped dessert but our waitress surprised us with champagne to close out our celebration and it was such a thoughtful touch. I will absolutely return.

    The food here was pretty good, but I agree with a review I saw before going that the food was pretentious for pretentious sake. The drinks were decent, but some of us ordered the same drinks and they looked completely different. Our server didn't seem to know either way and unfortunately it seems the drinks are made at the hotel bar, so there's no way to know. My favorite item of the night was the lobster tostada (so good!). The tequenos were also pretty yummy. The carne asada was good but nothing where I felt this is amazing. Our friends ordered the bread which was yummy but expensive for bread. They also got the octopus and tuna tacos, which they seemed to enjoy. The desserts were probably the least exciting of the night. The citrus tres leches was good, but tasted like a trix cereal cake. Two people ordered the cafe en la niebla and both really disliked it. This was weird because it sounded like a brownie dessert but ended up being like a dippin dots dish, that tasted more like tiramisu. Definitely a flop. Would I return? Truthfully probably not. Maybe to do the multi-course experience but we weren't wowed, there weren't many entrees that I would eat, and the prices are very high.

    Pleasantly surprised. Chose the restaurant off the magical dining website, didn't know what to expect. The vibes were immaculate, the food was delicious and filling, and it made for the perfect date night spot. I started with the hamachi, which was so flavorful and unique, followed by the Florida snapper for my entrée, perfectly tangy and hearty. For dessert, I had a rich chocolate brownie with hints of cardamom and pistachio that tied everything together beautifully. I'd definitely return to this restaurant!

    I don't know what took me so long to go to Bacan, but I'm glad I finally did! Located in the wave hotel, the aesthetic is very modern with a tropical feel. Expect 5 star service! Our waiter was super knowledgeable and had great suggestions. Do not leave this restaurant without ordering the the tuna 'tacos'. They were small but I could have eaten 10 of them, they are so delicious. The crunch of the jicama balanced the tuna perfectly. I ordered a cocobolo old fashioned, which was such a nice twist old fashioned with a hint of banana. My entree was the snapper dish and I would 100% order it again and again. I will definitely be back!

    They call this place "Michelin recommended" but it definitely fell flat for me and expected a lot more. The venue is in a nice artsy spot with lots of photo ops. Very well designed hotel with trendy restaurants Had the El Dorado and the Havana Habana cocktails but with added spirits in it. They weren't that great. Tequenõs were ok but thick batter and very fried. Not too into fried foods anymore but that was the best looking option. Got the Florida snapper but didn't think it was going to be fried and was hoping for a grilled or blackened option like other Florida places. The skin was attached and not at all crispy. A bit soggy sad fried whatever dish. Would have been better if they took the skin off and fried it separately and put back on top for an extra crispy skin texture. Also tried the truffle chicken and it was the worst I've had. Not that truffley and quite small comparing to others I've had. They give complimentary little cookies at the end that was good enough because their desserts didn't look like much The server was great and the reason giving this place a 2 vs a 1 star review. I did give her my same critique as I have on this review on the food so she could let the chefs know the food was not up to par

    Truffle Chicken
    Justin C.

    Have been eyeing Bacan for a while and decided to go! Bold Latin flavors from start to finish, this meal was amazing. Tequenos - foie gras duck leg confit. Succinct but distinguishably reminds me of pizza rolls Grilled Octopus - Cooked to perfection with a beautiful char, served with vibrant sauces and a hint of citrus. The octopus was so tender yet still texturized. My favorite of the night Truffle Chicken - Truffle truffle TRUFFLE! Honestly one of the most solid choices. Florida Snapper - Honestly one of the more shocking dishes. The snapper was fried with a tasty curry that had tons of depth. Short Rib - Fall-apart tender, resting on a crispy potato base with creamy herbed sauce and thin daikon slices for contrast. Cafe En La Niebla - s'mores explosion. Indulgent with textures. Colada - A visually stunning dish that tasted just as great. The ambiance was modern and intimate, with warm lighting and attentive service. They had beautiful design and lighting. Prices reflect the fine dining, but the quality and presentation easily justify it. BACÁN is a standout in Orlando.

    Charred Octopus
    Kerri C.

    Magical Dining was nice here, but definitely not worth what I paid. My expectations were high and I simply wasn't wowed. The interior is gorgeous, though. The decor in the hotel as you walk to the restaurant's entrance is also really cool. Took a lovely picture with my gals on the lit staircase. I will say the portions were decent. Everything tasted very good, but again not to the level I was hoping for, as in OMG this is amazing! The charred octopus was probably my favorite. With the smoked feta it was scrumptious. My friends did not like the churros, but I thought they were fine. The citrus tres leches was satisfactory, yet not super memorable. Our server was pleasant, but I was underwhelmed in that area as well. Our dishes arrived to the table in good timing with the exception of dessert. There was a significant gap as we waited for it, perhaps due to a large party arriving within that time. If I'm going higher end, then I expect the experience to be perfection which was not the case.

    Came for magical dining and was super impressed! The ambience, service, and overall experience of dinner was amazing. The standout dish was the carne asada. Oh my goodness. Cooked to a medium rare perfection with the housemade chimichurri was all I needed. The citrus tres leches was a pass for me. The orange flavor didn't sit right on my palate and the texture of the topping was a bit stiff. My friend ordered the churros and the truffle oil was a bit overpowering. I would say their apps and entrees is where they excel here. I would definitely come back and try other entree options.

    Jamise C.

    I'm so glad I decided to give this place another try! The food during first visit wasn't great, and I honestly hadn't planned on coming back. Had I not returned, I would've missed out on the best octopus I've ever had in my life. The smoky feta perfectly complemented the charred octopus and the chimichurri and aji amarillo were *chef's kiss*. The truffle chicken was a huge portion and absolutely delicious. Between that and our three appetizers, we didn't even touch our other entrée (the curry fish). Our server was fantastic and even surprised us with complimentary glasses of champagne to end the meal. Bacán is located within the Wave hotel, which is truly an experience within itself.

    The restaurant is in the hotel there is a parking garage with free parking. The atmosphere inside the hotel is electric. Live music, cool decorations, all well done. The restaurant is towards the back right. Immediately sat with our reservation in a great booth. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and an open kitchen concept. The server was knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. He was attentive and had a good personality which added to our experience. We ordered from the Magical Dining menu and all of the items were delicious. From appetizer, entree, and dessert we could not have asked for a better night.

    Delicious all the way this is my first time going to this restaurant after the opportunity was taking away from me last year. One of the most confusing meals of the butternut squash that you see in that small glass container. That was an extremely different taste on my pallet when I wanted to try after seeing him pass out. It was on the house. it was delicious. Our server was a gentleman from Puerto Rico. That was well traveled all around the globe so he knew his menu very well and sold it very very deliciously with his verbiage. My order was the moqueca and it was delicious, all the seasonings complemented each other well, and it was also light and airy! My friend had the snapper and that was delicious also!! The drink ingredients were all in house and made/crafted with love. They were amazing and I almost ordered 2 of them. The closing was the Autumn Tamal was decent, I wasn't necessarily in love with this with you for all the different factors, but I must say for trying something new. It was really good. I would say for sure that the service and food was the top best things on the menu here. Maybe for a bday I might come back. But great food and service!

    What is the price range like? I checked the website and there is no price list.

    If you check the photos on Yelp, there are photos of the menu with prices! But it's definitely on the high end side. Appetizers range from $16-$30, salads in the $20 range, entrees range from $30-40, and cocktails between $16-20.

    How much is the Chef's the tasting menu? Does it include wine?

    95 but only during the week now. Wine not included

    Do they offer vegetarian/pescatarian options?

    Yes they have a few vegetarian options.

We were dying for a place with fresh air and outdoor seating, so a colleague found Canvas and we were all completely on board. This exceeded all expectations. The outdoor table in a covered area on the lake was just what we needed and the space itself is beautiful. Our server was Elizabeth and she was someone who has a real gift for delivering great hospitality. We were a larger, last minute group and she really took great care of us so we were all grateful to be seated in her section and all said how excellent she was at her job. The drink list was awesome and they had a great variety of cocktails, mocktails, and wines by the glass/bottle. I had a watermelon ranch water to start, that was so light and refreshing, plus really unique. I then moved onto wine, but my colleagues ordered a variety of drinks like the Lake Side Collins, Espresso Martini, and Blood Orange Cosmo. One in our group who is pregnant really enjoyed the mocktails on the menu. We started with a few apps that Elizabeth recommended, including the whipped ricotta, buffalo chicken, and calamari. We had a lot of different food preferences, but everyone easily found something to order. I had a Caesar salad and truffle fries (the fries were good, but not truffle-y) since like a toddler, I filled up on apps, but everyone cleaned their plates. The portions are also HUGE - two of my friends split the mushroom calzone and a Caesar and it was probably enough food for 3 people. We ended by sharing the Nutella donuts at the table which was the best choice to wrap up a wonderful evening out after two really hard days of work.

We were quoted a 20-minute wait that turned into 40, which is fine, but when we got the "table ready" text and went up front, the staff didn't even know if our table was actually ready. Already confused. Then we get seated at a 4-person table. We ask if we can sit at the 2-person table literally right next to it (like... less than a foot away), and they say no. Instead, they have us pull apart the 4-person table ourselves to make it work... and we had to clean it too because there was still stuff on it. At this point I'm like ok so we're employees now? Then a manager comes over and asks us to pick up and rotate our table to make space for a couple with a baby. Mind you this is the SECOND time we've had to move our table. We do it... and then they don't even seat the couple there. So we just rearranged the restaurant for fun I guess. The hostess was also hovering and making small talk about a matcha I got from the coffee spot inside, which felt like she was trying to make up for the table situation but it just made everything more awkward. Also why are the water refills like that?? They kept coming by and pouring literal droplets instead of just filling the glass. And our server somehow had perfect timing in the worst way possible -- every single time my mouth was full, she would appear and ask how everything was. It became a running joke. At one point we were laughing so hard because we genuinely couldn't believe what was happening. The crazy part is the food was actually really good. We spent around $200, so I expected the experience to match. Overall... great food, but the service felt like a fever dream. At this point I'm just wondering when HR is sending my onboarding paperwork.

All our needs were met with finesse. As for the food, so delicious! I would normally go for the Lobster Mac & Cheese, which is to die for, but I like to switch things up. The Mahi Mahi Sandwich didn't disappoint. The regular mac & cheese that I had for my side is some of the best around town. The cocktails are flawless. My Mint Julep and Manhattan were perfectly crafted and 100% satisfying. This place is consistent and will not let you down. Looking forward to my next visit.

    The service here was absolutely wonderful. Our waitress was very attentive and checked on us…read morethroughout our dining experience. The lighting was also very dim but pleasant. For the food, the best item on the bbq chicken platter was the creamed corn. There was a perfect crunch on top and the cream paired very well with the sweet corn. I believe it had jalapeños in it but there barely was any spice. The bbq chicken tasted just like you would imagine it and the fries weren't anything special. My girlfriend really enjoyed the lobster mac & cheese. Just like the creamed corn, my girlfriend complimented the crunch on top of the entree. We both liked the spinach dip and the chips were lightly seasoned well too. For the drinks, we got the baby blue cosmo and the espresso martini. The martini was good and the cosmo was pretty strong for it being a restaurant.

    I love this park!…read more Expect more than a relaxed day outdoors. There are several food trucks with a variety of food options and a couple of bar food trucks as well. This park is well laid out with food trucks close enough to each other that you can hop around, but at the same time, not feeling crowded at all. There is a big variety of food options for everyone, which is great because we had a large group of about 12 people with us. The park is also decorated very pretty. There is an open eating area with many picnic tables so everyone has a place to sit and eat. I loved that they had a band playing. Nice touch. Restrooms are clean. You can park across the street in the parking garage for free, which is a nice. There are also plenty of stores and shops around this park. There was also a farmers market happening at the time I visited the park so we checked that out. I highly recommend this park and I'll be back soon.

They are several food stalls and drinkeries to indulge from as well as a sand volleyball court, kids play area, lots of seating, music and lights. The layout and the area is nice and for holiday time the premises are decorated with festive adornments. The variety of offering is pretty diverse with seafood, pizza, taco, bbq, flavored lemonade, margaritas, to name a few. Service was prompt and friendly. I will be back to visit when I'm back in the area when it's open.
