Nami, the newest concept from Tavistock Restaurant Collection (TRC), is now open and giving guests the opportunity for experiential dining and fun late nights. The contemporary Japanese restaurant and cocktail bar sits on the west side of the Lake Nona Wave Hotel.

The dining room is an intimate 67-seater and diners can experience two specific experiences: an exclusive 10-seat omakase counter named The Omakase Counter at Nami and a regular dining room.

Food, drinks, and omakase menus come with precision and extravagance only the best-in-class can make. Menu items at Nami include:

Shareables

The Omakase Counter at Nami’s menu offers multi-course offerings that range between nigiri and other small plates available for up to 10 guests. An advance booking is required for the omakase.

Corporate Beverage Director Jacob Johnson customized a beverage program with cocktails named after a variety of hues including:

• Ivory-a vodka based drink with apple, ginger, and lemongrass
