The restaurant was pretty busy on a Saturday, and to me that’s a good sign. We were greeted and seated without much time, and we were happy to be there. We had the platanos app (my bf is Puerto Rican) and he loved it. Then we had the house burger and the special of chorizo pasta. Ameena was our server and she was awesome! Although being busy, she was still attentative and funny. We will be back soon!!

Well, this place is flying under the radar… Great atmosphere, talented and attentive staff, my sister and I ordered a single platter of fajita-chicken nachos and we couldn’t finish them. The street corn deviled eggs were wonderful. Sports and music vids on the TVs played at tasteful levels. Serious potential here; the hours are a bit limited but maybe that will change with season and more patronage. Full bar and they know all the drinks.

This was a great experience in a cozy well designed restaurant. The food was good and different. I especially liked the egg rolls and Jeff liked the pappardelle and Thai rice bowl.

What a lovely new gem of the restaurant in Port Charlotte, FL. I stopped by there the other day to try it out after a successful closing. I sat in the bar, Anthony, bartender was very friendly, knowledgeable. He was there to answer all the questions and I didn’t feel rushed . He made couple of delicious martinis, Espresso and Limoncello. I also tried Birria egg rolls (very good), small watermelon salad (fresh and summery) and cayenne chocolate crème brûlée (soooo good). The atmosphere was vibrant and lively. Would be back to try other things on the menu. Great visit!

Excellent place. Beautifully decorated. Fried Avocado & Birria Diaz appetizers were outstanding! Our server was excellent and made a couple of suggestions for us (I was torn between the Spanish Lasagna and the Bistro Steak Tips…went for the Spanish Lasagna which was amazing! Even the Focaccia bread that it came with was perfect. We also had the Asian Bowl and all I can say is Holy Shiiit… They knocked it out of the park with this one! Tender steak, perfect rice and the sauce was just right. This place is honestly almost TOO good for the area. Tons of well balanced flavor. If you haven’t been here you really should give it a try. I think you’ll love it! (Unless you suck)

What a gem of a place!! Well worth the drive from Arcadia. Awesome place with great vibes. Staff was very attentive and friendly to speak with. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered Bistro filet tips served with garlic aïoli fries and my Mom ordered the chicken fajita platter. I forgot to take pictures because the food was so good we started eating as soon as it arrived. We will definitely be back!

Fusion Cantina, the name is exactly that, a blend of various ethnic flavors in a high end Latin overtone. Wonderful decor, and atmosphere, but we came for the cuisine and craft cocktails. We have dined here three times and finally got off my laziness and write this well deserved review. Our server was Ameena, a very charming and congenial young lady. Charles and Anthony create wonderful cocktails, unique take on the classics. Exotic and very tasty. The cuisine is always excellent. Very inventive as the cocktails, familiar names with adaptations of cross cultural ingredients that work together well, some Asian and Latin blends that work together so well. If you dig into Asian and Latin recipes you can see the similar ingredients, so let’s Fusion them! We started with the Birria Diaz, a crispy egg roll filled with tender, juicy Birria, would love a serving of the Birria all alone. Next up the Mexican Street Corn deviled eggs, another blended concept that was creamy and delicious. I like to create various flavors of deviled eggs, I am taking this idea for our next party. Also had a app that can be ordered as a main, the Clams over pasta with the addition of Argentinian Red Shrimp. Wow! What a creamy, soulful bowl of flavors enjoyment. If you enjoy shrimp and clams this offering is for you. We also had the Cuban Bowl with the addition of cilantro and sourcream, another bowl of delight. Sadly we left no room for desert. We had portions to be taken home. We thoroughly enjoyed Fusion Cantina and will return often. Add to the cuisine the very friendly and enjoyable staff it starts to feel like old friends. This is located in Peachland Plaza next to Quest Labs and Goodwill. Hey, hit your palate with a curve ball!

We tried this restaurant two weeks ago after hearing people mention it on line. It apparently had just opened. It was excellent. Started with apps of the provoleta, a cheesy baked provolone and basil dish served with fresh baked focaccia and the watermelon and feta cheese salad. Then for entrees I had the Spanish lasagna and partner the Cuban dish with rice, chicken, plantains and a great sauce. Also tried the sangria also tasty. Everything was super hot and excellent. We can’t wait to go back and try other dishes.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. I would recommend Fusion Cantian to all of my friends. All of the waiters/bartenders are friendly and if you can’t find something on the menu that you don’t love, there is something wrong with you. Try the smoked old fashioned and the wings for appetizer and thank me later.
