It looks like Bxh6 might draw, but white has much better practical chances than
black:  Bxh6 gxh6 Qxh6 Nf8 e5 Bxf3 gxf3 N6h7 Kh1 Bg5 Rg1, and white looks to
have a nice attack.  However, at the end it looks drawish (this is a long line,
but most of it is pretty forced) ...Qg7 Qh5 dxe5 Be4 Re7 h4 Qf7 Qh6 Rd4 Rxg5+
Nxg5 Rg1 Nh7 Bxh7+ Qxh7 Rxg5+ Rg7, then maybe Qxe6+ Kh8 Qe8+ Rg8 Qxe5+ Rg7 Qb8+
Rg8 Rxg8+ Qxg8.  It's hard to tell here if black can draw, or if white's extra
pawns will save the day.
