CANVAS – American
Canvas sits on the water in Lake Nona's Laureate Park, a big, casual contemporary American room with a market attached and a Foxtail Coffee counter pouring from eight in the morning. Starters lean shareable: Point Judith calamari with mango sweet chili, skillet-roasted Prince Edward Island mussels, tequila shrimp, Canvas nachos. Mains cover hickory baby back ribs, teriyaki salmon, beer-battered Atlantic cod, mac and five cheese, and burgers including The Cure, stacked with boneless ribs, bacon and an over-easy egg. Lake Nona's minted garden peas are a fixture among the sides. Happy hour runs weekday afternoons, brunch takes over the weekend.
