Sunday evening the restaurant was packed, and the noise level was a little too loud for us. The focaccia bread was delicious and everyone enjoyed their entrees.

Umbra is a favorite dining spot. On this particular visit, we especially enjoyed the halibut special, zabaglione and the service - Justin, a very nice young man who knows his food!

The waiter was non attentive..and borderline rude. The chicken piccata was like eating rubber chicken. The toccata’s delicious, perfect little pillows! The noise level was such that you have to practically yell to hear the person next to you. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go there, eating out is not only the food, but the service and ambiance…both of which are sorely lacking at this restaurant!

Our experience at Ombra was amazing! The menu choices were interesting, varied and authentic making it hard to choose. Some in our group chose the early bird menu and others the regular items. Portions were generous. Drinks were well made and perfect. Excellent wine list. Appetizers and salads were balanced and well seasoned. (I’m still thinking about the beats and goat cheese.) Justin was our server and put the night over the top! He was professional, efficient and answered every question. He was personable and anticipated our needs without being intrusive. Best dinner so far in Hilton Head!

Absolutely delicious food. The hostess was more than welcoming and accommodating. The restaurant is very very loud. We were seated at a banquet that had a spotlight right over the table and the light was directed into our eyes. Our waiter was a 4+. Had to remind him for a couple of things. Overall, a solid 4+. Fix the noise and that pesky light for a 5. This was the best meal we have had in Hilton Head! Absolute best!

We have eaten at Ombra many times over the years. This a a story of continued excellence. The food as usual was superb as was our waiters, attentiveness and service. If there is one complaint it would be the noise level. We return on every visit to the island.
