A reservation is definitely needed, and I would say you should try it if you are ever able. This place is very enjoyable. The atmosphere is cozy, and the two chefs present that night were very friendly. It's a bit of a squeeze when the seats are filled, but it is manageable. We did the omakase, and it is definitely a wonderful experience. I got to try all of the different things they offer.

About the restaurant

We are a team of young and inspired professionals taking down the walls between kitchen and guests and taking you on a culinary adventure. Immerse yourself in a progressive tasting menu focusing on the simple, yet luxurious, ingredients around the world with deep inspiration from Japanese cuisine.

We challenge the seasons, navigate beyond the limits of time and break with tradition— getting playful with process and tricky with techniques at the intersection of place and possibility.

At Ômo we offer a unique and exclusive experience to only 16 guest at a time. The journey starts in the living room with a welcome drink and snacks, then you are transported into the main counter overlooking the kitchen where you will enjoy all the savory bites in an interactive environment. At the end, you will transition to the pastry parlor to continue your experience with sweet bites and after dinner drinks.

We had an incredible dining experience! The fish bite appetizer was perfectly crisp and flavorful, the burger entrée was juicy and cooked to perfection, and the special sausage entree was a standout with its bold, delicious seasoning. The ambience was energetic and inviting, creating the perfect backdrop for a great date night experiemce. A huge shoutout to our server, Eric, who was attentive, friendly, and made the evening even better. We can’t wait to go back soon!

We ordered steaks, short ribs, and salmon, with side orders including brussel sprouts and cream spinach. The food has been consistently very good every time we come here. For its price, the wine is not as good compared to the food (though not bad).

Fabulous from start to finish! We had read the reviews so we all ordered the salmon and it was excellent. The tuna appetizer and beet salad were also delicious. The martinis were excellent, a generous pour. We will definitely go back again the next time we visit Cocoa Beach.
