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.

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.

    Tonight was our first visit to Nami. It’s a beautiful restaurant, great atmosphere, service is impeccable and food is very good. It’s an experience to eat there. Between the two of us including tip, our bill was over $300. So it’s not an inexpensive restaurant. It is an experience so it is as worth it. There were two downfalls to tonight’s visit. The first is that the chairs are very low at the tables. I’m a short person and when I sat down, I felt like the table came just above my breast bone and it was a little uncomfortable for me. Jokingly, I told my friend that should’ve brought me a pillow or a booster seat. The other thing that was disappointing was after our meal was done, we sat at the table for about 10 minutes. We were looking at our phones, where we had pulled up the menu for the restaurant and were looking at some of the things that they had on there because we couldn’t remember everything we ate. While we were doing this, the manager came up to us and asked if he could buy us both a drink at the bar. I asked him if he needed our table and he said no two other ladies did though. When we declined because we were driving, he said well can I offer you a half a glass and you can share? We said no we’ll leave.. I’ve eaten at a lot of restaurants in my life here and around the world that were just as expensive as this one or more so. And I have never been asked to leave a table. I wonder if they would’ve asked the same of a couple or two men? Anyway, I won’t let this deter me from going back because there were still a few things on the menu we wanted to try. But beware… don’t let Germany your table after dinner.

    The service was impeccable—our server was attentive, friendly, and thoughtful, making the entire evening feel special. The food was delightful, especially the tuna pizza and oysters! I can’t wait to return and explore more of their exquisite menu.

    Without exaggeration I can say that Nami is among the best of fine dining experiences in the world. It is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is creative and exquisite - the flavors and quality could not be greater. The atmosphere is vibrant and elegant, but relaxed and incredibly friendly. The team has a great vibe and executes flawlessly. The decor is elegant yet cool. Doesn’t get better.

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