Coast - Oban

Staff were attentive and the food was excellent. I had scallops for my starter. They were seared perfectly and so sweet. For the main I had the halibut and risotto, also perfectly cooked. The one thing that was out of place was the bread basket. There were two pieces of bread: one white and one brown, but they felt like they could have come from a low quality supermarket loaf. I was expecting something more artisanal, like sourdough or baguette.

First time here at Coast and we weren't disappointed. The place was packed to the rafters and the earlier reviews tell you it's a local favourite. We had mains dessert and a few glasses of wine and the bill was £90. My fillet steak was wonderful and my friends haunch of venison was equally delicious. Desserts were ok too...nothing amazing but sweet and sticky (what's not to love). Service was attentive but relaxed. My only thought on what could be better would be the interior design. It's fine...but if you ask yourself what a restaurant called Coast would look like before you visited....it wouldn't be brown green walls, wooden slats and a couple of average art pieces. This didn't spoil the experience one bit but if I was the owner, I'd turn up the gas on the pudds get someone on the interiors to freshen it up with a modern brighter look.

Great restaurant and a MUST Visit. We enjoyed the great service and the food was wonderful. The langoustines were so good that we had a second serve. The triple fried chips were yummy Hats off to the Chef, who is also the owner and his Better Half who is a great restaurant Manager.

One of the best restaurants we have had dinner during our trip in Scotland. Fresh ingredients, very good cooking, fair price. We tried to get back to this restaurants another day but had no booking. If you are in Oban and you like sea food. This is the one to go.

Went in without reservation on a Monday lunchtime after visiting the distillery. Friendly service and excellent menu. We had fish and chips, langostines and gnocchi. All flawless. Some people will say it's a bit expensive but the quality and freshness of the ingredients you won't get that for less.
