Ratino’s early career started in Orlando, at the Le Cordon Bleu school, before he established himself in Washington, D.C. with Michelin-starred restaurants Bresca and Jônt. Read on to learn all about the experience at ÔMO, and the talented team who brings their beautiful  creations to your plate.  

The Progression of dishes

ÔMO by Jônt’s goal is to create long-lasting memories for their guests. Jônt comes from the word “jaunt,” a short journey taken for pleasure. Diners start with drinks and snacks in the living room, then move to the savory counter for dinner, followed by the pastry parlor, where sweets are served. 

At ÔMO by Jônt, we like to start our guests’ experience off with a series of snacks, two hot and three cold. This is our version of Hassun, a seasonal display of small bites.

AT THE SAVORY COUNTER

We incorporate high quality sake into our beverage pairings to serve as we would wine, in order to elevate and showcase one of the most popular and commonly enjoyed beverages in Japan.
