We have been to this restaurant several times over the years and have never been disappointed. However, last night‘s experience was less than we expected. Drinks and appetizers were fine. However, our entrées, halibut and venison, came out just warm. Even the sides, the spinach and potatoes were just barely warm. We sent them back and they were replaced again with just warm food. I’ve never had this experience there before. It was a special occasion, but less than what we were expecting.

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
