We were recommended this place by a local. It was interesting - right on the pier. A bit expensive,…read morebut that's the going rate for fresh seafood. We got a plate of scallops (they were huge!) and a crab meat sandwich. I was disappointed in the crab meat sandwich - as it seemed to be minced really fine - hardly any flavor. Also, it was cash only, so we had to walk to the ATM. Not too far, though. It's a stand up and eat place - though there is one huge table if you're lucky.

Looks like a sandwich you would give your kid to take to school. Everyone seemed to order steamed mussels. Must be very good. I wouldn't know cuz I hate mussels! Also they only take cash.

A busy spot, and for good reason! We were greeted and luckily seated right away! It was a fairly…read morebusy night with lots of large groups. It had a nice view of the ocean, big windows to look out. We started with drinks and two appetizers. The salmon started was the better of the two but the croquettes were still good. We both ended up getting the grilled haddock which was out of this world!! The cheesy mash it came with blended so well with the dish! The drinks were also very tasty, our favorite being the "meOban"

Excellent seafood with mediocre service…read more Our party of 6 agreed we all loved our dinners. I had the fish and chips which were fantastic. Tasted very fresh with a nice light batter. They also had them available as Gluten Free for one our guests which was great. My husband had the mussels and he said they were the best that he has ever had! I finished with the sticky toffee pudding which was a perfect ending to the meal. It was large enough for 2 people to share. The ambiance was nice even though the restaurant was empty (March). We were a bit surprised that the service was so lackluster and inattentive since they were not busy. Luckily, the food made up for that.

We had just gotten off the late afternoon ferry from Mull and were exhausted so we decided to stop…read morehere and eat an early dinner. The fish and chips were just ok. They were breaded and I much prefer batter-fried fish. I had never had breaded fish in the U.K. before. The fish was also smaller than others I've had and the fries were quite soggy. I suspect that this was all frozen. This was my first mediocre fish and chips meal that I had since arriving in the U.K. 3 weeks ago. It didn't really fill us up but it was satisfying enough until the next day. Seating is outdoor only and it's in a nice location to watch the world go by. It's also pretty touristy. I really won't recommend this for any meal unless you're exhausted and don't care what your food tastes like. Oban has so many options for good seafood so take the time and go elsewhere.

Came across this and was a little skeptical on the location alone, but it showed open so we went for it and boy was it worth it! Driving out to a castle ruin, the cabin is just off the water looking to the west with free-air tables and farm next to. All the seafood is freshly caught and prepared to order, and absolutely amazing. When in Scotland, mussels are an absolute must! We had the full seafood platter plus the mussels and we all wanted to eat more and more. If we didn't have to catch the ferry to Islay, we could have easily stayed for a second helping and enjoyed the view and laid back atmosphere. The staff is friendly and wonderful and it's just a picturesque place to eat.

The menu changes depending on seasonal offerings and the head chef has zero problem with special requests. We opted for the rare steak salad and seafood chowder as starters and were blown away by the taste, presentation and fair pricing. For our main dishes, we both chose the pan-seared salmon. It was cooked to perfection and served atop a mound of mashed potatoes, a sprinkling of peas and came with a dozen mussels. Amazing. For dessert, the creme brûlée was divine; I would bathe in it if I could. The restaurant is open every day of the week and is open to both hotel guests and non-guests alike. The dining room is set inside the quaint hotel, built in 1677 and is served by candlelight. In other words, you won't find a better ambience.

The tiny restaurant has a few tables on the first floor and a few on the second floor. We sat on the second floor. Servers were nice. Quiet. I had to ask for a lot of things at different times (eg napkins, spoons, plates, water refill 2xs, etc) but I know they were busy. We ordered a plate that had 3 different grilled fish on it- it was good. Tiny pieces of fish but good. We also got a fried platter (eg fried shrimp) which was also good. I really liked the chips - my partner wasn't a fan- he said they were too mushy but that's how I like my chips. Tartar sauce is REALLY good. The toffee pudding was OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING. Ohhh you must get that! It was listed as a special on their board. Menu items we ordered were quite pricey. But I support this family owned business!
