   As usual, the food was good, esp the lobster spaghetti, but I have to say the menu is becoming a little "tired". Waitress was friendly but very slow and there weren't many other tables occupied when arrived. I think my main complaints were the heat and the noise. A room with a stone floor amplifies the slightest noise: except we were next to a table of four, where the two women were literally shrieking with laughter, chairs were dragged across the floor and I don't think the staff could have made more noise sorting the clean cutlery if they tried! The room was stiflingly hot, I estimate well into the 80s. It was a relief to leave the table, when we eventually attracted the waitresses' attention. We moved to the bar area, which had the AC on. Overall an average evening, not up to the Oban's usual standard. The bill for two was $300Can.

   Enjoyed a treasured evening of nostalgia while back in town for the first time in 13 years. I’ve been celebrating special occasion with family at the Oban Inn since 1975. Our dinner tonight in 2022 was different but in every way satisfying. I only missed the meringue chantilly for dessert.

   I hadn’t been to The Oban Inn since moving back to the area a few years ago, and would highly recommend the experience to anyone. The server was hospitable, her service excellent and discreet. The gardens were filled with tulips. A very enjoyable evening. Thank you. Joan Murray

    We were celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary. We stayed at the Oban Inn for our honeymoon. The food was excellent; we had the crab cakes and Caesar salad for apps and then I had the scallop/shrimp dish and my husband had the lobster pasta. Both were excellent. Our server was great; he actually waited on us 4 years ago when we celebrated our 30th. Because of Covid this is our first time in Canada. So excited to be back at the Oban Inn.

    Nice ambiance. Food was good. It came quickly & was a nice temperature. Taste was very good. Simple, but tasty. Our server, Jimmy, was attentive, friendly and just the right amount of conversation. The menu was small, but understandable considering local produce & not wanting to have too much in hand in case if another shut-down. I would really like to have seen a charcuterie board for dessert, so that would be a request. Please let me know when it’s back on the menu & I will be back!

    This restaurant is on our must visit list when we go to NotL. It is just so dependably good. The service is very nice without being cloying, the food is solidly delicious, and while the menu does not change fast there is always something you know you will like. Wine list is certainly sufficient and as they say proudly local, though if you are a wine expert you may not find the obscure vintner and vintage you want. But we always enjoy dinner here. Prices are not low, but they are fair for what you get. The atmosphere is low noise but far from silent. We like to sit by the windows so we can see the garden well and watch the birds and occasional small animals. I will not share our favorite wait staff, we want to have a chance to get her when we visit next, but all the staff seem to know what they are doing and guide the guest well if they have questions.

    This is a stellar restaurant. The food was hot, delicious and beautifully presented. Our table ordered the shrimp and Scallops, Lobster pasta, and ribeye steak. 5 stars for everything. It is a bit pricey and we would only go there for a special occasion.

    We had a lovely time at the Inn and the food was excellent as was the friendly and efficient service. It was a very special occasion so I would have liked a tablecloth, the tables were a bit worn, but I’d say the good food and service made up for that. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent

    I enjoy eating here, and anything I have said before bears repeating: Oban Inn delivers on quality, service, food, and ambiance every time. If you are looking for a “foodie” experience with an experimental menu, or a place where the menu frequently changes, this is not it. Oban sticks to what it does well and strives to do it even better. Think perfectly cooked chicken on mushroom risotto, delicious ribeye with asparagus and potatoes, lobster spaghetti, an irresistible Caesar salad, etc. Oban staff make great cocktails and they only feature Niagara region wines, which everyone should experience. Should you wish to bring a special bottle from elsewhere, they offer corkage. Alexa, Jimmy and the rest of the service team are the consummate professionals. While I come for the food, I come back for the service. The atmosphere here is charming. Whether you sit in the main dining room, the “Shaw’s Corner” room, or outside (summertime) on their patio, Oban Inn Restaurant delivers the ambiance. Always make a reservation, and if you can come on a weeknight or during the off season, enjoy more elbow room at the restaurant followed by a peaceful stroll around the old town of NOTL.

    A wonderful place for a getaway! The staff was friendly and helpful. The inn's restaurant offers a relaxing setting for dining. The breakfast entrees ranged from fluffy blueberry pancakes to specialty omelettes; all enjoyed by our group of four. A highlight was the dinner menu - crab cakes, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, as well as an outstanding entree of tiger shrimps and scallops. A lovely experience altogether.
