OMBRA is our favorite Italian restaurant in the Low Country. The food selections are amazing and all are delicious so choosing is difficult. The wine offerings are great with some wines even being affordable. The service is impeccable. Our server was Gaston who made a point of learning and using our names. Conversation with him was a highlight of our visit.

Start to finish this meal was fabulous! We started with the calamari, musscles marinara and burrata prosciutto appetizers. The sauce for the calamari was to die for. Our entrees included Chicken Limone, seared fish of the day, and the lamb chops special. Every dish was amazing. Dessert topped off the experience with the Tiramisu

This was a big disappointment to us. We had read that it was great, and we were expecting a wonderful Italian meal Instead, one of us had a fair entree, the other had a poor one. Apps were ok. Server didn't appear to be interested. At best, it was mediocre but with hight prices.
