The restaurant’s open‑air terrace affords sweeping views of Oban Bay and the surrounding islands, while the cosy interior is complemented by a world‑class wine list and a selection of craft beers and spirits. Friendly, attentive service and generous portions make it a haven for families, food lovers and anyone seeking a taste of the Highlands’ bountiful marine bounty.
