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.

Wonderful meal. Five very satisfied ladies. The list of evening specials seemed endless. Server Matt was friendly, knowledgeable and humorous; we thoroughly enjoyed him! We would highly recommend a dining experience here. This particular comment is something I am happy to make - all entrees were served piping hot! So many times today food arrives slightly warm. It’s a delicious experience, put it on your to-do list!!

The table was ridiculous. We had no room I should have taken a photo. When the party in our laps got up I suggested to the waiter they not seat another party there. A HUgE person squeezed in. I was less than 6 inches aWay. It was unpleasant. The waiter tried hard but was over worked so the service was slow and we were suffering in our seats due to the table. Food is good but not a good experience this time.
