Nami’s contemporary Japanese concept sparkles with European elements in its approach to the modern dining experience. Discretely positioned in Lake Nona’s art-forward Wave Hotel, the world-class culinary team collaborated to bring a one-of-a-kind menu served in an imaginative and beautifully designed dining room.

Plan ahead Thursday - Saturday evenings for a captivating culinary journey, with our 10-seat Chef's Counter experience, curated by Michelin-Star Restaurant Chefs Freddy Money and Jason Beliveau.

The cocktail bar offers elevated mixology in its precise and beautiful cocktails. But have you heard of Nami Nights? As the night evolves, the cocktail bar and dining room become one to create a lounge-like retreat with in-house DJ led vibes, Champagne service and special late night menu offerings.
Friday and Saturday evenings after 10pm.

We politely request all guests be respectful in their choice of attire and elevate when dressing for Nami, while adhering to our guidelines.

    Best place you will ever eat, but consider getting a second mortgage before you go. Still, worth every penny

    It was an experience. We made the approach to Mr David (identified as Manager), regarding the music sound being excessively loud; taking away from the ability to hear and have a proper convesation without having to lean over to hear or to talk too loud. The response from Mr David, "people comes here only for the music". And I said: too bad, Mr David. This a restaurant, they should come here for the food and the experience. Compliments to the Chef for the food, but the atmosphere/ambiance is not the same if you cannot enjoy the time you reserved to have with esteemed guests and friends who flew in, for this special night. Too sad, because that should never be the answer in any restaurant. And my apologies to the Chef; because we never expected this from Nami Restaurant while being guests from Lake Nona Wave Hotel with a Michelin.

    We were in town for only a couple of days and previously saw that Nami had been listed in the top 15 restaurants by Yelp! We tried the prix fixe menu for $75 and were surprised by how much you get for the price. The flavors of the food were great, the sesame tofu dip and charred flavor of the edamame were so addictive! We opted for the ribeye that came with wasabi mashed potatoes - so delicious! Lastly the prix fixe dessert was something I was allergic to so they gave me the lychee panna cotta in which they dip a rose flower into liquid nitrogen and crumble the petals on top as an interactive and beautiful garnish! What gave me the most delight, although simple, was the hot americano I ordered with my dessert came with a side of steamed milk rather than cold milk! I’ve been to a number of fine dining restaurants in the past but this is the first time the milk came out steamed! Small details like this and excellent service made our dinner experience very memorable.

    The food was absolutely incredible—everything was delicious, and I’ve already made another reservation to bring friends. It was a busy night, and while our server was sweet, she wasn’t very present during our dinner. However, the support staff was knowledgeable and efficient, ensuring each dish was delivered on point. The restaurant has a cool vibe with sleek decor and a trendy atmosphere. The DJ added energy, though the music occasionally got too loud, making it difficult to have conversation. Still, I highly recommend this place.

    Food excellent as well as service. Price a little higher than probably warranted. Service and food make the experience that’s why I keep returning. One of my favorites

    This experience is hard to define but it’s certainly more than dinner. Chef is easily one of the most talented cooks I’ve sat across from and the story here is unequivocally the food. It’s inventive and simple somehow surprising and nostalgic. The environment is a fabulous unrushed feeling of friends around a dinner table with the world’s best host weaving food and history seamlessly together. The chefs counter at Nami is an unparalleled experience that I highly recommend.
