Central Florida diners now have a new way to experience one of the Orlando area’s most acclaimed restaurants without committing to a lengthy tasting menu.
Following a successful debut during Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining, ÔMO by Jônt in Winter Park has introduced a new $75 prix fixe menu served exclusively in the restaurant’s Salon. The new offering launched October 1 and gives guests a shorter, more approachable introduction to Chef Ryan Ratino’s Michelin-starred cooking. Press Release_ OMO’s Prix Fixe …
For Orlando visitors looking to add a memorable dinner away from the theme parks—or locals searching for a special night out—the new menu provides another reason to spend an evening exploring Winter Park.
From Magical Dining Success to a New Menu
The idea follows ÔMO by Jônt’s first appearance in Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining.
During September, ÔMO became the first Michelin-starred restaurant to participate in the annual dining program, offering guests a $60 menu. According to the restaurant, reservations filled quickly throughout the month, bringing many first-time diners through its doors. Press Release_ OMO’s Prix Fixe …
Rather than letting that more accessible experience end with Magical Dining, the ÔMO team decided to continue the concept with its own prix fixe offering.
The result is a $75 menu designed specifically for the Salon, a setting that offers diners a more relaxed way to discover the restaurant.
What’s Included in ÔMO’s $75 Prix Fixe Menu?
The prix fixe experience includes four courses:
- Crudo
- Rice course
- Choice of entrée
- Dessert
The exact dishes can change during the week depending on seasonal availability. That flexibility allows the kitchen to work with fresh ingredients while highlighting Chef Ratino’s approach to modern Japanese cuisine influenced by French technique. Press Release_ OMO’s Prix Fixe …
For travelers, that’s worth keeping in mind: the experience may be slightly different depending on when you visit, rather than following one fixed menu throughout the month.
A Shorter Introduction to Michelin-Starred Dining
ÔMO by Jônt already offers considerably more elaborate tasting experiences. Its Journey Menu is $195, while the Jaunt Menu is $375, with the restaurant’s immersive tasting experiences unfolding over approximately three hours.
The new $75 option isn’t intended to replace those menus. Instead, it gives guests an alternative when they want to experience the restaurant’s cooking in a shorter and more flexible format. Press Release_ OMO’s Prix Fixe …
That distinction makes the Salon menu particularly interesting for Orlando-area visitors. A full tasting experience can easily become the centerpiece of an evening, while the prix fixe format may fit more naturally into a day spent exploring Winter Park.
It’s also an appealing entry point for diners who have been curious about Michelin-starred restaurants but aren’t quite ready for a multi-hour tasting menu.
Why ÔMO by Jônt Is Worth Knowing
Located at 115 E. Lyman Avenue in Winter Park, ÔMO by Jônt opened in February 2024. Chef Ryan Ratino founded the restaurant with Hive Hospitality, and it has since earned Michelin and James Beard recognition. Press Release_ OMO’s Prix Fixe …
The restaurant’s name is a reference to the Japanese concept of omotenashi, a philosophy centered around thoughtful hospitality.
Its Winter Park location also makes ÔMO an interesting addition to an Orlando vacation itinerary. Downtown Winter Park is roughly a different experience from the attraction corridor, with its restaurants, boutiques and walkable streets making it a worthwhile destination in its own right.
Visitors can spend some time around Park Avenue and the surrounding downtown area before making dinner the highlight of the evening.
Chef Ryan Ratino on the New Experience
For Ratino, continuing the spirit of Magical Dining was an important part of developing the new menu.
The chef explained in the announcement that the restaurant wanted to capture what made its Magical Dining participation exciting while allowing more guests to experience ÔMO’s food. He also emphasized maintaining the restaurant’s creativity and technique while presenting the dishes in a more accessible format. Press Release_ OMO’s Prix Fixe …
It’s a concept that could appeal well beyond traditional fine-dining enthusiasts.
Instead of asking diners to choose between an elaborate tasting menu and skipping a Michelin-starred restaurant altogether, ÔMO now provides another option in between.
A New Reason to Plan a Winter Park Dinner
Orlando’s dining scene has increasingly become part of the destination itself, and experiences like this give travelers another reason to venture beyond the theme parks.
At $75 per person, ÔMO by Jônt’s new prix fixe menu still represents a special-occasion dinner, but it offers a significantly lower entry point than the restaurant’s longer tasting menus.
Whether you’re planning a date night, celebrating something special or simply want to experience Michelin-starred cooking while visiting Orlando, the Salon’s prix fixe menu provides an intriguing way to discover what ÔMO is all about.
The new menu is available beginning in October and, according to the restaurant’s announcement, is offered exclusively in the Salon.

OrlandoEscape Tip
Turn dinner into a Winter Park evening rather than simply driving in for your reservation. Arrive early enough to explore downtown Winter Park and Park Avenue, then finish the night with the prix fixe experience at ÔMO by Jônt. It’s an easy way to add a different side of Central Florida to an Orlando getaway.
