This is fine dining. Friendly staff and unlike the big monster restaurant in Oban (Eusk), you won't get a shock when the bill arrives. I guess most restaurants these days don't need a prima donna chef, but this one probably does and has. There's passion in that kitchen and the deserts are just superb. I have been before and will...

Great food, sensible prices and a varied wine list. There is currently a special light-bite menu which gives even better value for money. Food is excellent, and service friendly and prompt. Probably best to book if going at a weekend to avoid disappointment. Unfortunately there isn't a view, but there is still a good atmosphere. (this is my second visit... More

This restaurant has excellent meals. We had Aberdeen angus steak and it was fantastic. The waitress was sweet helpful and very interested. We had a good time and I would recommend everyone to step by. You might want to make some reservations beforehand if you are planning to visit at a busy time thou.

We were glad that we came across this restaurant during our recent visit in Oban. The pork shoulder I had was tender and with great flavour. The menu didn't say "farm to table" but the menu has that feel to it. A good choice in Oban.

Great selection of Scottish dishes, seafood, meat & vegetarian in a straightforward, casual dining atmosphere. Their meat-based dishes (Venison, Scotch Beef/Steak) are particularly good but can honestly recommend most of the menu - often torn between what to choose! Relatively family-friendly although not a huge amount of space between tables for high-chairs etc. Well priced and a better overall dining... More

As a local with a small B and B I like to be able to recommend eating places to my guests. I had lunch today at Coast and I could hardly believe the wonderful choice, delicious combinations of ingredients and will now be placing Coast first on my list for guests. A real delight and altogether faultless. Staff attentive and... More

We'd reviewed possible restaurants in Oban before travelling and it was reassuring that our hotel host also had positive comments regarding Coast. The interior is decorated in calm colours and had a pleasant buzz as we entered. The menu offered a good selection of seafood and meat options (vegetarian as well if this required) all served beautifully cooked and presented.... More

We were seated quickly without a reservation. Service was good. We both enjoyed our starters and mains, a good choice of sea foods, nice Malbec to wash it all down, reasonable prices. pleasant atmosphere. Clientele seemed to be mainly 30-somethings. Will eat here again next time we're in Oban.
