    The service was great. Our waitress was super courteous and attentive. My only complaint was the food was room temperature. We waited a very long time for our food and it seemed as if it was sitting for a long time before it was brought out. The prices were a bit high compared to the portion sizes. I had the Snapper, one appetizer and a glass of Porsecco and my check was $97. It was a nice experience though.

    We had an unforgettable dining experience at Bacán, located in the stunning Wave Hotel in Lake Nona. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was both inviting and sophisticated, setting the stage for an extraordinary evening. Our server, Clau, was absolutely phenomenal. Her attentiveness and knowledge of the menu enhanced the entire experience, making us feel truly special. Every dish we ordered was nothing short of magical. The Hamachi was perfectly balanced, the Pierogi and Autumn Carrots were delightful starters, and the Branzino and Truffle Chicken were cooked to perfection. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was impeccable. To top it off, the Banana Flambé was a showstopper for dessert—decadent and beautifully executed. The drinks were equally impressive, with the Cocobolo Old Fashioned and the Spanish Garden standing out as personal favorites. Bacán is a true gem in Lake Nona, combining incredible food, exceptional service, and a chic ambiance. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking a top-tier dining experience. We can’t wait to return!

    Our server Kendall went above and beyond. When my wife asked how is the steak, she did not just explain how a steak normally is but explained the proper way to enjoy and also how to include the sides to really make the dish pop. Her time and dedication made the experience the best and what brings people back!

    Food was phenomenal, but the service was so-so. Our waiter was very informative and hyped, but also took long to come back to our table a few times. Ate my dinner dry since I had finished my wine while eating starters... good guy, but can't be establishing conversations with his tables for so long... thanks!
