The Write-Up
Canvas is Laureate Park's lakeside table in Lake Nona, a relaxed, upscale room with water views from the dining room and a breezy patio. Guests call it their go-to restaurant in Lake Nona, ordering across a menu that runs from lobster eggs benedict and a toasted Cubano to whole roasted local snapper, with Nutella doughnuts and key lime cheesecake to finish. The room can run loud when it fills, but the range keeps the neighborhood loyal.
