Went out for my wife and I’s anniversary. This was our first time having a tasting menu like this. Ibraham was our server, and he could not have been more incredible. In the middle of our dinner, he got assigned a very large table outside, but that didn’t slow him down in the slightest. He was very knowledgeable and made fantastic recommendations for wine pairings with our meal. The food was absolutely amazing! I didn’t get a chance to take a photo of our final course before dessert, but it was just as great as everything else. And the dessert…..coming from a Latin American household, I can confidently say that was the best tres leches my wife and I have ever had. I truly have nothing negative to say about any bit of our experience tonight. I would absolutely love to come back!

The Service was the first indication that we were in for quite the amazing experience. Natalia made excellent recommendations after giving us a highlight reel of menu. Natalia also went above and beyond to make my sister’s birthday exceptional.
The tuna tacos packed such a punch of flavor, along with the Chaufa. The dishes represent the diversity and range of Latin cuisine. Everything we had was spectacular including the Tres Leches which was recommended and does indeed taste like Coquito!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Service by Clau & Mr. Locene at Bacán!
Last night we had one of the most memorable dining experiences at Bacán, thanks to the exceptional service provided by Clau and Mr. Locene. From the moment we sat down, they made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.
Clau was warm, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful with every detail, anticipating our needs with a sincere smile that made the evening feel special. Mr. Locene was equally remarkable—professional, kind, and truly dedicated to making sure we had a perfect experience.
It’s rare to meet people who not only do their job well, but elevate the entire atmosphere with their kindness and authenticity. They both made our night unforgettable, and we are deeply grateful for their outstanding hospitality.
Bacán is fortunate to have such extraordinary team members. We will definitely be back—and we hope to be served by Clau and Mr. Locene again!

I came here during magical dining and I have to say that I was not that impressed. The service was not very attentive or friendly. I remember them stating everyone in my party had to order from the magical dining menu or nobody could. They said it was the magical dining rules; which I know is false because 3 other restaurants I did magical dining with was fine with some of our party members ordering off the regular menu and some opting in. The octopus was fantastic, but that's really the only dish that stood out. Our drinks were mediocre and the desserts were disappointing. The men's room was also clogged and had paper everywhere. For the money there are much better options...

Stepping into Bacan felt like finding a wonderful secret within the Wave Hotel. It’s more than just dinner; it’s a complete experience that makes you feel immediately special and relaxed. The atmosphere is stunning—it manages to be both effortlessly elegant and warmly welcoming at the same time. You could easily lose track of time here, just soaking in the beautiful setting. But the food is where they truly steal your heart. Everything we ordered tasted incredibly fresh and alive. You can tell the chefs pour passion into every plate. Each bite felt like a discovery—like they took familiar flavors and elevated them into something truly exciting. What really set the evening apart, though, was the service. The team here isn't just professional; they are genuinely kind. They were attentive in the perfect way, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask, and making us feel truly looked after. It was personalized and sincere.

Food is refreshingly original, and I would even say unique. French-Latin fusion. Exotic and unusual flavor combinations that just somehow work like magic. Every time. My family has been there more than six times, and we all agree it's our favorite restaurant. My son is a food snob, and he's always impressed. I've had the fortune of eating at great restaurants in NY, France, Spain, Italy, and this is right up there with them. Michelin rating is a no-brainer and will come inevitably. Presentation is always fantastic. We generally get the Chef's tasting 8-course meal. Plenty of food (portion sizes have been increased recently), almost too much. This is where I take my kids for their birthdays.

My wife and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. Overall, in sum, we really enjoyed our night out at this restaraunt.
The food was very good with a nice and neat presentation. The flavors were hearty and rich.
The ambiance was excellent, although just a tad too dark. I would have liked a little more light, however this was nowhere near a dealbreaker. We were able to have a nice conversation over some starting small bites without having to yell to each other. We reserved on the early end (around 6:00 PM), which seemed to be a perfect time for us. The restaraunt was barely half capacity so it was nice and calm.
The alcoholic beverages were pleasant on the taste buds with a generous poor. They were not watered down and gave us a great play on flavors. I definitely recommend having one of their signature cocktails while you dine.
The service was excellent. Ibrahim was our waiter. His demeanor was on par for a restaraunt of this caliber; classy, calm, attentive, informative and just a pure gentleman. As someone who has worked in customer service in the past, I understand how difficult this job can be. But man, he was awesome and I admired that. Thank you again Ibrahim for making our night really special!
My wife and I don't go out often and we aren't carnoisseurs or food critics. But, speaking for ourselves, we had a great time with good food and drinks. We recommend for a date night, but reserve on the early end and be prepared for it to be pricey.
We visited Lake Nona and discovered Bacán — a Michelin-recommended restaurant that truly deserves stars of its own. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt exceptional. The soft music, the open kitchen, and the stunning presentation of each dish made the entire experience feel like dining in an art gallery. We started with the tostada and carpaccio, both incredibly flavorful and beautifully crafted. For our entrées, the short rib was perfectly tender and the branzino was fresh, crispy, and delicious. Bacán exceeded our expectations in every way. We can’t wait to come back!

The octopus was my favorite appetizer , perfectly cooked and full of flavor. For my entrée, the short rib was outstanding, tender, and beautifully prepared.

One of the best dining experiences in Orlando. Great atmosphere and exceptionally well prepared dishes from tuna tacos with caviar, medium-rare steak, meaty white fish, to bread. Twenty-dollar old fashioned was little weak but excellent service otherwise.
