French-Japanese tasting menus with interactive courses and desserts
"A Winter Park, Florida venture from the team, this sibling was named a 2025 James Beard finalist for Best New Restaurant." - Tierney Plumb
"The sister restaurant to D.C.’s two-Michelin-starred tasting counter Jônt is clearly aiming for best restaurant designation. Each of chef Ryan Ratino’s 20-plus courses in Ômo’s $375, top-tiered “The Jaunt” menu, astound with creativity, technique and ingredients, be it foie-pineapple brioche donuts served in the “Living Room,” or wild Hokkaido uni in a corn chawanmushi with soy milk kombu served in the “Savory Counter,” or black sesame kakigori with mango yuzu in the “Pastry Parlor.” Those not into a three-hour excursion into French-Japanese cusine can opt for the $195 “The Journey” tasting menu, presenting 10 equally impressive bites. Wine pairings can add anywhere from $140 to $595 to the already extravagant affair." - Faiyaz Kara
"Chef Ryan Ratino's lauded D.C. restaurant, Jônt, is more than just the inspiration for this offshoot. This Winter Park restaurant echoes that spirit and sensibility (think classic French techniques married with pristine Japanese ingredients), albeit with a few Florida touches. The space allows for discrete moments at each meal, while three tasting menus run the gamut from tightly edited and more affordable to loaded with luxury ingredients. No matter the selection, expect Chef Mike Commins' refined dishes punctuated by the seasons, as in chawanmushi with an autumnal twist of braised sweet potato, kombu, and a brown butter sauce. Scallop prepared two ways demonstrates the kitchen's deft hand while chocolate and hazelnut kakigori is an elegant tribute." - MICHELIN Guide
"This Orlando restaurant was awarded one Michelin star during the ceremony and is now listed among the state's one-star recipients, which the guide calls a "very good restaurant in its category." - Henna Bakshi
"The cuisine here is excellent and perfect for special occasions." - Nancy DePalma
