Very good pub/restaurant- upstairs with a view of the bay, indoor & outdoor seating. The night we were there they had traditional Scottish music and dancing show (10 pounds) which was entertaining- and you are part of the entertainment experience if you are willing to learn to dance!
Best view of Calmac ferries . Yes! They were running. Lovely Staff helped us get a great table for this harbour View , hence name of the establishment. Above 3 shops and easily accessed long flight of stairs
Excellent ambiance and an incredible vista of the bay over Oban make The View stand out. The food and drinks are outstanding as well, lifting Balmoral Chicken and Scottish Salmon to new levels of delicious.
Lovely meal, beautiful view out over the bay with the ferry coming and going.
Place is dog friendly which is great, with a lovely balcony with great views. Staff were lovely and welcoming, was a shame the place was quiet considering it was lunch time place deserves to be busier.
The mushrooms on toast were superb! The macaroni was lacking a little cheese but nevertheless lovely.
Food is good value and good size portions.
We did, however, waited a good while for our orders to come and it was not that busy.
Great views from the restaurant.
Service was not as expected.
The server just placed our drinks in the middle of the table for us to get them.
Also, my friend asked for sugar for her coffee and the young server threw 2 sachets across the table.
When asked what the soup of the day was, she did not know so went back to ask.
Came specifically because of the menu board out on the sidewalk. Looked like a good selection so we tried it tonight. Our server, Catriona was so welcoming. She came and told us that the kitchen food was backed up, but we chose to wait. The wait was longer than hoped for, but our food was hot and delicious. It was my first time trying haggis, neeps and tatties.. and the entree was delicious. Even though they were short staffed, and under a lot of pressure to serve many people, Catriona never looked flustered, but smiling and positive. She’s a gem!
We ate here before a ceilidh. The food was good. The service was OK but a little slow. The ceilidh was the highlight of our week. Good music, loads of dancing and a great atmosphere with people from all over.
Jemma kindly helped us to organise and host a funeral wake at The View. You can hire the whole space with the best views across Oban Bay. It is the perfect setting to gather friends and family to celebrate the life of a loved one. Connor and Claire were very attentive on the day, making sure we all had everything we needed. The catering provided by The View was great, with plenty of choices. Jemma made sure the tables were configured how we requested. The staff at The View went above and beyond to make sure we could give our loved one the send off they deserved. This space could be equally special for other events such as weddings, Christenings and private parties.
Absolutely love this little gem. View lives up to it's name, Absolutely stunning. Very friendly and warm welcome. The food was amazing, here on our holiday, but while we are here will definitely be back.
Just popped in without reservation on a ceilidh - night - and had a GREAT TIME!
Food is good, served quickly with a friendly smile.
Would definitely go back here!
