This was an amazing dining experience. The staff were absolutely amazing, attentive, and super helpful. The meal was absolute perfection and the chef was clearly very intentional with all his choices.

I never expected a restaurant like this to exist in Orlando. Norman's used to be the only place you could get a seriously crafted dinner in Orlando, otherwise a food wasteland. I had been told that things are improving and Omo is a spectacular example of that change. You could drop this restaurant in any food city and it would be on par with the best. The dessert was one of the best that I have had in years - still haunted by it. I was a little concerned getting the white truffle upcharge having it added to a dish that wasn't specifically designed for white truffle. But it turned out to be heavenly - it was added to their signature crab rice plate and fit perfectly. The final touch though that still has me blushing - they custom-made a thank you card with something that is very, very specific to my life. Not only did they put the effort in to create this touch, they got it exactly right (and it would have been very easy to get it almost right but not quite). When was the last time a restaurant went to such lengths? Finally I can stop dreading being sent to work conferences in Orlando, and instead be excited about the opportunity.

Service was terrible and very rushed. We visited so many Michelin restaurants but never experienced this worst experience ever.

The food was divine, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere was relaxed! We enjoyed our experience at Omo so so much! We can't wait to come back.

They helped me get engaged the entire dinner was absolutely phenomenal. My fiancée had no idea she was getting engaged. The team was cool, calm, collect and discreet. I appreciate Andrea and Tracy for the back and forth communication. The chef team for the amazing dinner & the Sommelier for being able to pair wines perfectly for dinner. and thank you so much for being able to accommodate our shellfish allergy :) please give everyone praise for me and hopefully a bonus or something for Christmas haha.

It seems like a nice place. We ate in the salon because we didn't want to have the two hour tasting menu. I thought the food was good but frankly I wasn't "wowed". The hanamachi salad was the best thing we ate. At some time in the future, I will return to try the tasting menu and will rereview. It was kind of expensive for what it was.

Some dishes were excellent and the staff kind, but our Journey experience felt hurried. We missed the salon portion, service pacing was uneven, and the truffle enhancement mishandled. Dessert lacked finesse. For a Michelin restaurant, it didn’t capture the sense of care or occasion we anticipated for a celebration.

What Michelin dining should be: top shelf, tasty original food, excellent service and a great vibe. Expensive and worth it. I would every dish again for the two times we've been. And will def be back.

This was our first Michelin experience and it did not disappoint. The service was above and beyond and every course was superb. We wanted more of everything but by the end we were too full to take another bite. The wine pairings were also a fantastic addition! Would definitely return!
Omo by Jont is truly a special dining experience. Everything from the menu to the service feels very personal. We celebrated our anniversary there and had the Journey menu. We enjoyed every course and also felt the win pairings were a great addition. We had the Omo win pairing but there are several options to upgrade. Dessert was just as special as the apps and savory courses. They move you to another dining room for dessert which is a nice change. Definitely a place for a special occasion dinner and a small party. I think any more than 4 would be tough give the seating is bar style. Overall a great anniversary celebration.

Dining at Omo by Jont was nothing short of thrilling. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance set the tone—clean, warm décor that feels both pristine and inviting. Every detail is carefully curated to create an atmosphere that's awesome without feeling pretentious. The servers were genuinely friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and clearly passionate about the experience they help deliver. You can tell that the chefs are operating at the highest level—their creativity, precision, and technique shine in every dish. Each plate was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation, showcasing amazing food that's as beautiful as it is delicious. The progression of courses built perfectly, each one heightening the sense of excitement and wonder. It's rare to find a restaurant where everything—service, setting, and cuisine—works together so seamlessly. Omo by Jont isn't just dinner; it's an extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

One of the most incredible dining experiences of my life. Highly recommend the wine pairings, their sommelier is a true genius, and found a way to achieve perfect harmony between the wines and the courses. Behind the food, the ambience and the service were exquisite. Cannot wait to come back.

Delicious perfection. This was a beautifully executed dining experience; every person we interacted with throughout the evening was kind, cheerful and attentive, every course was like eating a piece of art with incredible flavors and textures served on gorgeous "plates", it was also so fun to be able to see the preparation right in front of us. I was so impressed that the courses were being served to multiple different patrons/couples at different reservation times. I wanted more of each course, but by the end of the meal, I was actually too full to have another bite and I eat a LOT. My favorite was the risotto with crab. It was heaven! Uni and caviar also are always my fave. Not only did my friends and I have the best evening, we received a small bottle of matcha mint oat milk lattes that we were able to enjoy the next morning, and this was just the perfect way to continue our food high to start the next day.
