When Chef Omar Mitchell speaks about Table No. 2, the white-linen restaurant he opened in the spring of 2019, heâs beaming. âWe always like to say weâre a âwow-factorâ restaurant with a Walt Disney approach,â Mitchell says. A trip to Disney World, he says, is a memorable experience that sticks with a person for the rest of their life. âThatâs exactly what Iâm doing with Table No. 2. Weâre creating a fine dining restaurant that gives a lasting impression through impeccable guest services and amazing food.â His voice jumps an octave as he talks about his staff and the impeccable service they provide diners.
