Coast Restaurant

We recently dined at Coast in Oban and had a delightful experience. For starters, we had the smoked salmon and scallops, followed by the sole and local mussels for the main course. The food was flavorful and well-prepared. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere. It’s definitely recommended to book a table at least two days in advance, as the restaurant fills up quickly and you may not get a spot otherwise. Overall, a great dining experience with fresh local seafood and excellent service!

Excellent hospitality & great food. Menu offers various choices between fish & meat which bring some challenges on what to choose. I really liked my venison with the vegetables. Starter was delicious, i was a bit unlucky which got exchanged immediately with a new one and came on the house with the bill. Superb service! The rhubarb ginger sponge cake was superlicious

After a horrible day, facing many challenges with our ethnicity in the area, we stumbled across Coast, an amazing restaurant. It’s was wholeheartedly one of the best meals we’ve ever had and we eat at a lot of places around the UK. We had langoustines to start sharing, huge portion. Just enough for two people. I ordered the slow roasted beef and my husband got the Miso cod. Hands down we could have eaten the meal again, not because the portions were small but purely because the food was outstanding. Then as neither of us really have a sweet tooth we ordered a desert to share purely on the fact of how good the rest was and the citrus pudding did not disappoint at all. The service from the get go was brilliant, very very welcoming and attentive, the restaurant its self was cosey, with a classy vibe. Hands down this restaurant is a diamond in the rough in this area. It’s a must visit. Honestly a wonderful experience.

The restaurant is very well run, from being greeted to timely and efficient service throughout the meal. Food was lovely, my wife and I both enjoyed all of our courses. I. Found 3 courses without additional sides was the right amount of food. Shame views aren’t better, would be lovely to overlook the coast. And a butter knife for the butter would be a small improvement.

We arrived early to get a table and found that the restaurant filled up towards 1pm. Staff were very attentive, food was spectacular, ranked in our top 3 meals of this trip. They have a regular menu and also a seasonal menu, you can choose items from each. I would recommend the scallops, cod on pea and leek risotto and their lemon tart.

First time in Coast, and we'll certainly visit again the next time we're in Oban! The food was delicious and well presented. The staff were friendly and professional, and it was really refreshing to be asked if we wanted a break in between mains and pudding! Really good value for money; everything was fresh and locally sourced. We had 3 courses each, beer and wine, and paid just over 100 quid.

We had a truly delightful meal here. We booked ahead for our first night in Oban, and we’re so glad we did. Delicious vegetarian dishes (including the Goat’s Cheese Salad and Butternut Squash Risotto, pictured), but also well-executed classics—my husband loved the fish and chips. Nicola is such a kind and welcoming host. It all made for a lovely evening!

Popular seafood restaurants in Oban. Recommend to book ahead. I had chicken liver pate, which was very fresh and great taste! Main fish was moist and cooked perfectly, delicious and beautiful.

Wow Thanks Yelp Arriving in Oban without a plan, we were lucky to snag the last reservation of the day. A diverse and detailed pair of menus, classic and seasonal, we enjoyed squash risotto, amazing scallops and salmon. Each we vegetable pairings of salads, potatoes, carrots; lightly dressed A simply but elegantly designed space with service eager to make sure we were pleased........we sure were

Honestly, I was disappointed. Coast was the most highly recommended restaurant in Oban from travel bloggers and our hosts in other towns. I thought the food was bland. Not bad at all, but not great. Salmon was overcooked and soup was so light it was basically milk. On the positive side, The vegetables were the best in10 days in Scotland, by a huge margin, and it's a classy place to eat.

This restaurant was good. The dishes were hit and miss. Smoked salmon appetizer was very good. Halibut was very dry.

A lovely warm restaurant with terrific service and wonderful local food. Clean washrooms. I had the special, a squash risotto and I asked them to add grilled scallops to it. So delicious, so fresh. For dessert I think that we had a special too, their take on Cranachan, which was perfect. I was enjoying so much that I forgot to take pictures! I would return again in a heartbeat.

Great food and service...celebrated our anniversary there. Be sure to make a reservation

The food was outstanding! Lots of flavor from their scallops, mussels all the way to fish and chips! Everything tasted fresh. Service was great, they were so sweet! This place deserves 5 stars!

We stopped here while driving through Scotland. We would highly recommend this restaurant. The food was delicious and the service exceptional. Our favorite place in Scotland. Don't miss this restaurant if you are in the area.

Nice meal, bright and lively restaurant. Started with local scallops and black pudding, great scallops. Followed by the venison, cooked perfectly and not too gamely. A fun experience.

Excellent! Cozy atmosphere, delicious food and a fun staff that make a great experience for enjoying a meal. We had two different salmon dishes both perfectly cooked and tasty, a squash risotto (creamy and delicious) and mussels (simple and probably the best I have ever had). When the meal and appetizer are that good you don't skip the desert...I wish I could try them all but the chocolate mousse and ice cream were a perfect end to the meal. To top off this experience of incredible food you have a staff who are pleasant, and fun as well as price that makes these gourmet meals accessible. I would come here all the time if I lived in this beautiful town.

This is a wonderful place in Oban. We had the halibut and lamb mains. Both were great. We shared the beetroot and goat cheese salad, again yummy! Nice selection of wine. Make reservations and enjoy.

CLASSY RESTAURANT, VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY, GREAT SERVICE! We arrived at Oban in the evening and asked for the restaurant recommendation from out host at Sutherland Guest House and he pointed us to this place for classy feel and best mussels in town! Since I am vegetarian and my hubby wanted to try mussels from Isle of Mull, we decided to check this place out and we were not disappointed a bit! AMBIANCE: The ambiance is very upscale and this place is always full . We had to wait for 20 mins to get the table. So if you are planning on going, please make the reservation beforehand. They play for soft music and the decor is very soothing as well. SERVICE: The servers are very friendly and always eager to help. They are pretty quick in responding but do not hover over the table to overwhelm you. We asked for recommendation for bottle of red wine and her recommendation didn't disappoint and paired nicely with our dinner. Food: Below is what we ordered: -Mussels: they get fresh mussels from Isle of mull so we ordered them to fulfill my husbands bucket list. The mussels came in a creamy sauce and were fresh and delicious - Salmon Fillet; which was backed perfectly and had nice flavors to it -Roasted Herb Gnocchi with Goat's Cheese: I loved the Gnocchi especially the flavors that were imparted by the sauce and shiitake mushrooms -We ordered Chocolate tart for dessert which came with pistachio topping and boy it was mouthwatering! We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals at the Coast and highly recommend checking this place out!

Outstanding seafood. Scallops were fresh. Loved the Cullen skink and salmon too. Veggies were great. Sticky toffee pudding was moist too.

Excellent food and service, lovely atmosphere. We had scallops, salmon and a delicious berry mousse for dessert. It was a very nice meal.

The four of us loved all our entree's. Two of us had the Halibut. Would highly recommend and the service was exceptional.

Make sure to make a reservation as it is a small place. Professional waitstaff with excellent food. Without a doubt my favorite meal in Oban. The atmosphere was quiet and made for an enjoyable dining experience. I liked that it had light fare options, as well as the, less healthy but yummy desserts. The salads were great, the salmon fillets were excellent, and the sticky toffee pudding was heavenly. This is how a restaurant should be!

Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and reasonably priced. All four of us enjoyed all of our starters and main dishes. The service was fast, and our server was pleasant and efficient. Best dinner we have eaten in Scotland.

Been traveling around Scotland for two weeks.... best chips so far! The carrot coriander soup was delicious. The quality of the food for the price was very good. Service was very friendly, though a little slow. They accommodated food allergies easily. Would definitely go back here again!

We dined here on a recommendation from our host at Sutherland Guest House. We wanted something nice that would accommodate a vegetarian and my gluten free self. Coast suited perfectly. Service was impeccable - there when you needed someone, but you never felt like they were hovering. Food was generally well done, though my risotto was a touch undercooked. I had the halibut, my partner had the falafel and halloumi pastry over vegetables. The atmosphere was lovely and we really enjoyed our meal!

Fantastic. Exemplary service. The menu selection was fantastic. They have a set price menu that looked very good. I did the ala cart Starter scallops were perfect. A little ch ar on the outside and a nice center over very tasty greens. The lamb was perfect. With a heavenly sauce new potatoes and veg. The house merlot was very good. All told a great experience. Well recommended
