Oomboon French Cuisine - Colonial Beach

We cruised into Colonial beach, docked at the Boathouse marina. Where to eat? The marina staff said Oomboon had the best food in town. “A safe referral, everyone is always pleased”. Wow! An eclectic menu. We had the night’s special, tempura fried soft shell crab. Just superb! What a surprising find, this place.

We tried Orchid Thai the week before and would highly recommend that place instead. Food was better and the service was too! See below for our terrible experience.It’s unfortunate because the food was good, but the service was so bad I will never go back. Went out for my birthday dinner. We got our drinks and apps in a normal amount of time, but waited a while until our food. No big deal except when they brought the food, they brought 2 of the 4 plates. We waited to eat and after about 10 minutes, those with food started to eat. After 20 minutes, our waitress was no where to be seen and we asked the other waitress when the sushi plates would be out for the other two people at the table who had not eaten and she said there are two different kitchens so she doesn’t know. 30 minutes later one plate came out and 10 minutes after that, the fourth person got their food. Then, our waiter was still MIA, so we asked the other server for the check and a box. She seemed flustered and mentioned she’d have to get our waiter and went and started whispering to the hostess (manager? about the other waiter and our table. The other waiter ended up bringing us the check (original waiter still MIA and a wet to go container. Then the hostess, maybe manager had the audacity to say “I’m so glad I was able to get you a table” LOL. I wish you didn’t. Worst birthday dinner ever.

I went to this place based on high reviews. What I expected and received were different. Food wasnt that great and service was unfriendly. The chairs were dirty, the atmosphere wasnt comforting and the prices weren't worth it. Wouldnt go

Very nice restaurant, friendly staff, the food is very good. Definitely a place to check out, have both French and Thai cuisine.

Top Notch!!! I have eaten lots of sushi in my life, in different parts of the country and the around the world. I can tell you that Oomboon is at the top of my list. The freshness, flavor and presentation is superb. Worth the drive from anywhere you are. I will plan another trip just to eat there again.
