Our dinner was fabulous! We both had fish and it was cooked to perfection with an amazing sauce. Jody, our waitress was on point and delivered fantastic service. She even wrapped the leftovers in plastic so the meal couldn’t spill on the way home. We will return when we are in HH again.

Restaurant was phenomenal. Great food, great menu and great vibe! Service was solid. Only gripe was we were seated in the furthest corner of restaurant with a heavy velvet curtain drawn so we could not see activity. Felt very claustrophobic. Next time I will speak up and request alternative seating. Outside of that, absolutely amazing!

This is a gem of a restaurant. The food is amazing and it’s beautiful inside. Great service. Also I’m a celiac and their gluten free options were amazing.

I haven't been to Ombra in a few years. What a great experience! the menu was varied. lots of choices for meat and fish lovers. the special was halibut, I should have gotten it, my dining partner gave me a bite of hers and it was fantastic. did I mention the great wine selection? this is not an inexpensive restaurant but it sure was good.
