Restaurant Oban Inn

The Obama Inn was excellent. The food, service and ambiance was great. We will look forward to returning. It allows you to be in Niagara on the Lake but a short but appreciated distance from the crowds.

We invited guests for lunch and looked forward to eating in a 4star CAA recommended restaurant. We were disappointed with our main entrees . 3 of the guests ordered the Quiche..it was very flat, certainly not fluffy and light as it should be. I ordered the Grilled chicken sandwich and it came with a very burnt and dark brown order of fries. Looked like they were fried in old grease. The chicken itself was okay but the bacon was black and crisp. Not sure if the pretzel bun it the right type of bun for this sandwich. Overall, really disappointed.

Wine selection by the glass was just ok. Food and service were great.

The food and service were excellent. Alexa, our server, was very nice and enjoyable.

Our meal was superb and the service spectacular. Mark and Brian were amazing. This was one of the best restaurant meals we have had in recent memory.

Had a very pleasant evening and experience

Restaurant Oban Inn is just off the main street in Niagara-on-the-Lake and the food was very good. We had Calamari, Lamb and Duck Breast, and everything was very enjoyable. Service by Jimmy was very good. I would recommend this as a stop before an evening play.

Slow service. Overall average food for night end restaurant. Lamb dinner was appetizer size.

Nice setting and excellent service. Everyone enjoyed their choice from the menu.

A favourite oasis in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Stunning garden out front, outstanding food and service inside.

Food and table servicer were excellent but restaurant was understaffed with very long wait for bar service

Was disappointed with plant based options. Online menu has soba noodles and veggie burger but only soba is still in the dinner menu. We would not have chosen this restaurant if we had known

The owners should consider more plant based options

Always an excellent meal and a great location for both business and pleasure!

Service and view were lovely, but the noodle dish was excessively salty.

My wife , mother 93 year-old mother and I enjoyed another great experience at the Oban Inn prior to our show at teh Shaw this past Tuesday. Our Server, Rebecca, was especially attentive to us during our hour or so time there. The ambiance was relaxing and the food was as much a delight to eye as ot was to the palate. The whole Oban experience, as always, was first rate.

Everything about our experience was superb. We were seated promptly and our server, Brian, was highly accommodating. We return for our Anniversary every year and are never disappointed.

We have been dining at the Oban for many years. Indeed, its usually our first choice. Recently the menu has been adjusted, toward "mainstream dining". Its still OK, but the wow factor has been reduced. Hopefully, the Oban gets its mojo back.....

The menu is very limited, they use too much salt and lots of grease (greasy fish on top of greasy french fried potatoes). The potatoes were soggy and inedible. We visit Niagara on the Lake about once a year, but will not visit Oban again. For the quality of the food, the price was outrageous.

Wonderful experience! The service in this restaurant is outstanding, the food is divine and the environment is beautiful!

Very disappointed!!!! My husband and I had the same item - lamb chops at $35 a plate, plus calamari appetizer which we asked to be cooked differently. The lamb dinner was inedible and although most of the plate was not eaten, we were not asked if we enjoyed dinner. The vegetables tasted like they were pickled and there was so much cilantro covering the dish, it was inedible. The only good part was the creme caramel dessert. This overall meal for $200 with wine was certainly not worth it! Much better value in the town.

Always a very good experience - Alexa is probably the best service individual one could ask for. She is one of the main reasons we keep returning to the Oban. Food and wine are also top notch, but service with Alexa is the best.

The food was amazing! Our server Alexa was very friendly and professional ! It was a great birthday dinner with friends!

Have not been here in the past 2 years, but will make it regular now, every thing was great.

Overall very good place to enjoy a very good lunch/dinner in a most pleasant surrounding. Maybe a wee bit overpriced as with most of the better NOTL eateries.

Loved our server! Wine recommendation was on point! Potatoes for our filet mignonette were a bit undercooked, but everything else was delicious and we had fun!

The food was outstanding but the service was terrible. No welcome at the door. Crammed us into a corner meant for two people and we were four. Poured regular water on top of our sparkling water. Had to ask for bread when it was sitting on the server beside us. Wine was warm in a cool carafe and at $19.00 per serving, it should have been the proper temperature. Waiter told us that the Fabulicious meals are smaller than regular, which I thought was wrong. All in all, the front of the house needs attention while the kitchen put out a great product.

Relaxed surroundings at Inn. Comfortable dining area . Some very
fine Canadian wines on list . Attentive staff.

Valentines

Valentines Day Special. I'm like Lucy and the football, I go back to Oban looking for the quality and service to match the ambiance, and again, 1 of 3. My Chicken was tough, overcooked and bland, my wifes lamb was delicious. Appetizers and desserts were unremarkable. 45 minutes seated before appetizer arrived an hour later for main, departed at 2.5 hours... serving staff pleasant but slow and unobservant, bread basket empty, asked if we were finished with it. Requested more and got none. So, nice place, but it will be a while before I fall into the ambiance trap again.

The Oban Inn is always a lovely place to eat. I do feel though what I ordered was too small a portion for the price. I ordered a caesar salad with grilled chicken. It was delicious but compared to ordering this type of meal in other restaurants, the cost should be about $6.00 less.

Best dinner in awhile

The set menu was different from what was advertised. No roast beef but a thin slab steak. Salad was weak and didn’t contain menu items. Desert must have made several days ago as it was stale. I have been many times to this restaurant but I think the were not performing for Christmas Day

Old world charm

The service was outstanding. Jimmy was attentive, friendly, and professional, yet made for a fun experience. Food was top-notch. Everything exceeded expectations.

Great food, great service ....we totally enjoyed our dinner! tks

The food, service and ambiance were very good. I would definitely recommend.

The Oban Inn has been a favorite of ours for many years. It was remodeled several years ago, taking away the front enclosed porch where we used to love to sit, eat and look at the mouth of the Niagara River, where it empties into Lake Ontario. You cannot do that anymore; that area is now a spa. However, this time we ate on the side porch, and it was more casual, but very nice, with white tablecloths, quiet ambience, and excellent service. The food was very good and the wine list was just fine (we had a cabernet). This is a great place to eat lunch or dinner, and the chef is very capable, serving up some old favorites with new twists. You can also eat inside, near the bar, in a very cozy room full of pictures of Shaw Theatre characters and actors.

Awesome location, great service & food was delicious.

Have enjoyed dining here on a number of occasions and they never disappoint. Great place to eat and a wonderful place to stay as well.

My date and I found the cuisine, service, and ambiance to be excellent. The restaurant is a wonderful place to sit and chat! The buffet breakfast was continental style, and excellent. I look forward to another visit to the restaurant.
