Waterfront Fishouse

We recently had a meal here and it was a perfect place to dine. The setting is picturesque and right by the water. The decor inside is stunning and really lovely. It would be good if the lighting was dimmed slightly and candles lit as this could have added to the ambience but overall it was a really nice setting. There is a set menu which we weren’t aware of. This looked to be excellent value but we were too late (not the restaurants fault). It was a little off putting as the the prices were much higher if eating from the standard menu. For this reason, we chose to skip the starters. However, the choices on offer on the menu were great. I chose the salmon main and my Mum had the sea bass. Both dishes were presented beautifully. The portions were big. My salmon appeared to be 2 fillets. It was served with vegetables, potatoes and a sauce and it was one of the nicest salmon dishes I’ve ever eaten. My Mum loved the sea bass too and said this tasted very flavoursome and fresh. We were disappointed with our dessert - we had the cheesecake to share. At £8.50, it was a little pricey and the portion was small. It was presented well but it wasn’t particularly tasty and we were both disappointed. Every single staff member treated us so well and there was a high level of customer care throughout. We were made to feel important and the staff regularly checked in to ask if we needed anything. All in all, we throughly enjoyed our visit. Our main courses were delicious. We’d recommend going during the set meal deal period as it seemed really good value. We’ll definitely return again the next time we’re in Oban!

Starter: muscles and a wonderful creamy white wine sauce. Devine, almost licked the bowl out. Main: fish n chips deluxe. Best FnC I’ve had. Tasty chips, amazing fish and a really light batter. Served with deliciously sweet battered prawns. I don’t say ‘best I’ve had lightly’ (sorry I’d eaten half of it before I thought to take a photo so don’t). Dessert: Lemon tart; very tart and refreshing after the main. Served with pistachio ice cream. Gaelic coffee ((I asked for Jura) and a Ledaig. Most of the meal washed down with a lovely Vognier. All in all a great meal, recommended. All this on a rainy Tuesday in November, plenty of occupied tables so best book in more busy periods, made for a good atmosphere Staff were helpful and mostly a delight and not too rushed.

We ate here two years ago and made it a point of eating here again. Well looked after by Josie, we had the scallops, halibut and the traditional fish and chips. All were excellent and locally sourced. The venue has a great view of the harbour and it's a really friendly atmosphere. We were so impressed that they have maintained their high standards and the prices are reasonable. Eat here!

Located between Oban train station and ferry terminal. It is at first floor so you have to look for entry stairs way. Reservations are recommended for dinner. We had local mussels, grilled scallops for starters. Amazingly good. For the main dishes, we ordered salmon and halibut, perfectly cooked with crispy skin. Recommended.

We had a lovely dinner at the Waterfront Inn. We can't speak high enough of the attentive service received by the staff. Everybody was so friendly and caring. The food was delicious; we had mussels, seabass, halibut and a fantastic lemon tart with the best pistachio ice cream. The decor and the views over the Calmac ferry really made us feel on holidays. We will definitely be back when in Oban again.
