Made a special trip to Oban to have lunch at The Waterfront (stayed at Cameron House, Loch Lomond seperate review). Two of us had the seafood chowder and quite frankly you wouldn't want anything more, it's absolutely delicious, it had plently of fish, mussels and even scallops in and the actual broth was fab. The other 2 diners had fish... more

Just turned up and tried it and found this to be a gem. I had the salmon which was delightful and my Partner had Sea Bass which she thoroughly enjoyed. Wine was a reasonable price. The service was attentive and professional. more

The Waterfront has had a revamp since we ate in it, but the standard of the food is still magnificent. It's really buzzing and like the other great restaurants in Oban, you must book, but it's worth it. more

The whole family loved it again. Great staff too. Early evening menu a real winner (don't change it!). Only negative being the electronic menu's listing the specials of the day. Jesus, must have been an accountants idea (naff)! Get back to the blackboard which will add to the character. more

I don't have a problem with this, but we made the mistake of ordering steak rather than fish (having been eating fish for the previous... more

Best sea food restaurant in Scotland! We had a lovely table bu the window for lunch, and we were able to see the dolphins! The lunch menu was only £10.95 for a 2 course meal per person. We decided to go back for dinner, and we were very surprised with the Chef's own entertainment! We did not spend more than... more

Oban was our fourth stop touring Scotland and we stayed here for three nights at the Heatherfield House. The Waterfront was recommended by our host. Good advise! My wife and I each had a salad and baked salmon over green beans and tomatoes, and grilled oysters. Very tasty! The fare was 58bps including a 17bp bottle of wine. Larry &... more
