An Audubon Park omakase counter that earned Orlando's first Michelin star in the 2022 Florida guide launch — a strict 9-seat Edomae format with the chefs working directly across the counter through a multi-course progression. The fish flown in from Toyosu; the format precise and traditional; the room intimate and design-forward. Kadence's Michelin recognition was foundational to Orlando's recognition as a serious dining city. For destination omakase from the room that helped put Orlando on the modern Japanese map.
