Wonderful dining experience at The Oban Inn. The restaurant has a warm ambience and welcoming staff. The meal was excellent and was served piping hot. Do try the lobster spaghetti as it was rich and tasty. A special shoutout to Alexa, our server, who was at the top of her game!

This Inn is truly a gem and the restaurant adds substantively to the experience. Just as the landscaping at the inn is exceptional, the food, service and friendly staff are second to none. Dinner for four people, all different selections, each one perfectly rendered … wonderful evening!
