Stationed at 115 E. Lyman Ave. in the space formerly occupied by Sushi Pop, Omo by Jont will feature a French-Japanese experiential prix fixe tasting menu and will seat only 16 guests.

Chef Ryan Ratino studied at Le Cordon Bleu when it had an Orlando outpost — all U.S. Le Cordon Bleu schools closed in 2017. He worked in tourist corridor restaurants for five years before moving on to co-found Hive Hospitality, which operates the two-Michelin-starred Jont and Michelin-starred Bresca, both in Washington, D.C. In 2023, Ratino was recognized as the Michelin Guide DC 2023 Young Chef Award Winner.
