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.

    I will admit, though I did expect the food to be good, I was a bit skeptical. However, from the moment I tasted the amuse bouche, all doubts went away. My waiter helped me choose my entree and he didn't disappoint. The lamb was amazing! That, along with the tuna pizza were some of the best food I've had in a while. My only gripe is that I wish the portion were a little bigger. Otherwise, Nami is definitely worth it!

    Nami is a gem. Every meal here is special. The beverage and wine program is some of the best in town. The food is top notch also. The bar, the main dining room and the chef’s table are all unique and each a completely separate vibe. Love it!

    Cal and Ryan provided exceptional service during our visit to Nami. Cal’s recommendations were spot-on, introducing us to a variety of delicious dishes that went above and beyond our expectations. The restaurant’s tapas-style concept is perfect for sharing, and we loved trying everything family-style. Honestly, we’re still debating which dish or dessert was our favorite—they were all outstanding! A big shoutout to the chef for crafting such an incredible menu. The service was flawless, with the entire staff working seamlessly as a team. Their attention to detail and coordination created one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. Nami is a must-visit, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

    My husband and I chose Nami for dinner off of the recommendation of a friend. We’re local and wanted to celebrate my birthday and a promotion for my husband. When I tell you it was the BEST night, I mean it with my whole body. Everyone was so kind and on the ball all throughout the service. Our server, Edwin, gave stellar recommendations and I’m so glad we listened. Each wave of food kept reaching new levels of fantastic. We had the tuna pizza, octopus skewers, lobster donuts, beetroot roll with uni on top, the hamachi that was an off-menu item for tonight, as well as the eggplant. We topped off an amazing dinner with a hazelnut dessert. It was easily one of the top 3 (if not #1) dining experiences we’ve ever had and that includes our international travels. This restaurant is an absolute MUST visit. You will not be disappointed. We can’t wait to go back again and try new things! Thank you again Edwin and all the amazing staff we met! Chef, you are a true genius!
