- SStanvipNew York / Tri-State Area •54 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoThe burrata appetizer was absolutely outstanding.beautifully presented and scrumptious. Our two veal dishes were very good except both were a little over sauced with the meat swimming in the gravy. We will definitely put OMBRA on or list for future visits to Hilton Head.More infoOMBRA Cucina ItalianaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Hilton Head Island•4.8
- SStanleySouth Carolina •12 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOn this particular night, it was one of the coldest we have had in the low country so far but it was initially cold by the window but as the evening went on it warmed up. Probably, for other reasons. I thought the prices were within the going rate with inflation and the service we received but if your on a budget it may be a little much. However, from my prospective, it was a wonderful evening.More infoRed Fish - Hilton HeadPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Hilton Head Island•4.6

- KMKennethMPhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoWe went to ELA'S to enjoy a nice Thanksgiving together ...we started with appetizers... had the Pear, Cranberry, and Arugula Salad and the Southern Poached Shrimp Cocktail. My spouse had the Thanksgiving dinner and I chose to go with Scallops and Crab Risotto (of course we shared back and forth). Everything came out hot, fresh, and ridiculously tasty.... we finished up with a double espresso and shared a piece of pumpkin cheesecake that was drizzled with a strawberry sauce and had a small scoop of vanilla bean gelato... I can't say enough about the food, the experience, and especially our server.. she was magnificent and a lot of fun... we will certainly return to this restaurant multiple times in the future:)More infoELA'S On the WaterPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Hilton Head Island•4.6
