“This is food the way we like to eat,” says Joe Davi, Founding Partner at Nona Blue.Davi and Bill Bona, also Founding Partner at Nona Blue, saw American dining trending toward smaller portions with different tastes; sharing at tables had always been an option, now it was being encouraged. As the vision for Nona Blue began to come into focus, Bona and Davi began crafting their “Shareables” menu, featuring items that can be passed among an entire table or serve as a meal for a single guest.

    I recently celebrated my birthday at Omo at Jont, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The simplicity and serenity of the space made it the perfect setting for a special occasion. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, allowing me to relax and fully immerse myself in the moment. The ambiance struck a perfect balance—elegant yet understated, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring everything was seamless from start to finish. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate. Highly recommend Omo at Jont for anyone seeking a refined dining experience!

    We had a great time on Christmas evening. The food and service was excellent. I do wish the menus were smaller and they were a bit hard to read. The menus do take over the table. There were 10 adults and 2 children and everyone had no complaints with the service or food that was excellent. We all would recommend Cafe Boutique Piano and will definitely be returning. Probably the best meal and service we have had for a very long time! Beautifully decorated and the Piano player made the experience calming and relaxing. All the staff do an amazing job. Thank you for giving us all a wonderful Christmas evening experience Cafe Boutique!

    This Italian restaurant is a hidden gem of Winter Park. The food and service were both excellent. The waiters were very polite, attentive, helpful, and quick. The Chianti they serve is very good too. Inner them 5 out of 5 stars across the board. If you have not eaten there, you should! Bravissimo!
