  If you’re looking for a vibrant, stylish dining experience in Lake Nona, Chroma Modern Bar + Kitchen absolutely delivers a flawless 5-star experience from start to finish. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere stands out. The restaurant has a sleek, modern design with an energetic yet relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for anything from a casual night out to a special occasion. The indoor space is beautifully designed with contemporary touches, while the outdoor seating area opens up to a lively courtyard that adds so much character to the experience. The courtyard is one of the highlights—open, airy, and surrounded by greenery, with colorful seating and a social, welcoming feel that makes you want to stay awhile. The entire Lake Nona area adds to the charm. It’s clean, upscale, and walkable, with a great mix of people, palm trees, and modern architecture that creates a really enjoyable setting before you even step inside. Whether you’re grabbing drinks, meeting friends, or just enjoying the scenery, the location itself elevates the visit. Now let’s talk about the food and drinks—because Chroma truly shines here. Their menu is built around small plates meant for sharing, which makes it fun to try a variety of flavors. Everything we ordered was fresh, creative, and beautifully presented. The flavors are bold and well-balanced, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into each dish. It’s the kind of place where you’ll want to order multiple items just to experience more of the menu. The bar program is just as impressive. The cocktails are crafted with care, unique without being overwhelming, and pair perfectly with the food. Whether you’re into something refreshing or more spirit-forward, there’s something for everyone. What really ties it all together is the overall vibe—great food, great drinks, and an atmosphere that feels both upscale and approachable. It’s lively without being too loud, stylish without being uncomfortable, and every detail feels intentional. Overall, Chroma Modern Bar + Kitchen is a standout spot in Lake Nona. Between the beautiful courtyard, the creative menu, and the inviting atmosphere, it’s easily a 5-star experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable night out—you’ll definitely want to come back!

  Love chroma! I’ve been for brunch and dinner and dinner is still my favorite. Love going with a group and we order different menu items since it’s sort of like a tapas style. Everyone gets to try a little bit of everything. This place never lets me down.

  Extremely small portions. We left hungry. Flavor profiles are thought out and food is well presented however, the entree’s are the size of appetizers at any other restaurant. Additionally, the appetizers themselves are smaller than acceptable anywhere else. We ordered crab cakes as the appetizer (not pictured) included 3 golfball sized “crab cakes” for $22.75. They were delicious. But highly disappointing for price point. As pictured, we ordered Lamb Sliders $15.75 and seared tuna with crispy rice $20. Compare to fork for size reference.

  Chroma is a good Happy Hour spot. We went to have some drinks andnsomenTapa style Food. The shrimp with romescu were good. Lamb slider are alos tasty and are sold per piece at happy hour best price. The pork skewers are ok but they need to serve them a little more done. The crab and artichoke dip is a must and we would go back just for that plate. Servers are good and the fact that they have inside and outside food areas is a plus.

  Today we decided we would have lunch at this place However, upon arrival, we noticed that there was many open tables yet the greeter took it upon himself to not want to sit us and ask us to wait 30 minutes, gave us the very lame excuse that he didn’t have enough servers to handle the tables But on the other hand, he then offered us to sit at the bar to which we quickly denied. We thanked them and walked away, but I can ass surely tell you we will never go back. We felt his treatment was not acceptable and did not meet the minimum service requirement. I hope management does not read this because I’m sure he needs his job.
