In the inspectors' selection, without a star or a Bib Gourmand. Awarded by the MICHELIN Guide, not by WagyuSpot. Our verification covers this venue's Wagyu sourcing only.
Tier 3 · Menu claim only What the tiers mean
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
Michelin Guide-listed contemporary Japanese restaurant tucked into the west side of the Lake Nona Wave Hotel, from the Tavistock Restaurant Collection. Its Wagyu program has included an A5 Snow Beef, a 2oz yukimuro snow-aged Wagyu from Niigata, alongside a Westholme Wagyu NY strip, and an 18-course Chef's Counter tasting lists a Wagyu course. The restaurant's rebuilt website currently publishes no food menu, so the prefecture and grade cannot be confirmed against a current first-party source.

Common questions
- Does Nami (Lake Nona Wave Hotel) serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 20, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Nami (Lake Nona Wave Hotel) serve?
- Its menu discloses Westholme and Japanese. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Nami (Lake Nona Wave Hotel) listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
