Ee-usk in Argyll & Bute

EE USK had been specifically recommended to me, and which dishes were excellent. Despite having a dog friendly area, I was not allowed to dine with my friend from Australia and my two dogs. Shame. Long drive for a big disappointment

Channeled Brussels with Moules et Frites followed by Creme Brulee and everything exceeded expectations. Looking forward to our next visit...

Lovely dinner on a rainy evening. The service was very friendly and kind. Some dishes were a little expensive. The quality of the food was generally very good.

We went for lunch on a Sunday. It wasnt busy probably because it was a miserable day in November. But the restaurant was very trendy right by the water. We had a starter and a main each. Thai fish cakes and fish and chips. Scallops then lobster. Lovely food we definitely go back.

I read that it was a good idea to make a reservation so I did just that however the restaurant wasn't too busy and arriving earlier than expected we could sit where we wanted which was great. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We had a great evening and the food did not let us down....it was amazing 🤩

If seafood is your thing, this is the best place in Oban to indulge. The food is excellent and the service is prompt and attentive.

Amazing oysters and fresh mussels, some of the best I've had for a long time! We had also the haddock and the hake, equally amazing. Best place for seafood!

Great food, good care taken for coeliac. Really enjoyed our visit 😊

We visited on a busy Saturday night, but the friendly staff went out of their way to fit us in and even managed to get us a window seat. The seafood was fantastic -great quality and reasonably priced. We’ll definitely return next time we’re in Oban!

Probably the best fish restaurant in Oban.

Came for mid week lunch in November, very few other diners but the food was excellent - moules in particular were the best I've had.

Excellent lunch in mid November. Moules in particular were great and the best I've ever had. It was an unexpectedly good lunch.

Very nice restaurant, good food and staff.

Absolutely gorgeous place with beautiful view. The service was welcoming and very fast. The set menu is lovely! I went for mussels and hake in mussel sauce and my taste buds couldn't stop dancing! Stunning flavours, definitely recommend

A pleasant view of the sea, quality cuisine and extra fresh local products

The food was in general very good, fresh for sure and cooked perfectly. Certainly no complaints with the food. Informal style restaurant. Service from young girls, waitresses, was totally subpar. Seemed rushed not happy to have questions about the food. Nor did they ever come back to ask how everything was or if you needed anything else like more wine or bread. At the end one server passed and ask if we wanted dessert and when i said no, she promptly brought the check, i never ask for it. I am guessing this service behavior is either due to poor training or they are daughters of the owner, the latter i doubt. Is worth trying however there are better or equally good places in oban

I was taken out to this restaurant as a treat and what a treat it was . Absolutely perfect. We were served by a truly friendly helpful waiter. I chose the menu of the day and had the best moules I have ever had .. tasty sauce and plump mussels. This was followed by haddock with a Mornay gratin topping. All 3 of us were delighted with our choices and could not fault the food or service

Just had probably the best mussels in my life here, they arrived very quickly as well and staff were incredibly polite. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality you get! Shame I couldn't really enjoy the window view as I visited at night but one more reason to come back!

Starters were nice but I got the special for the main of hake with a thermidor sauce - water flooded out the fish the minute I cut into it meaning the sauce and the fish was completely tasteless and the vegetables were overcooked. For a main costing over £20 I expected much better. Didn't even finish it. Service was good though.

We had an excellent meal at EE-USK. I had scallops and mussels and my partner had the haddock. The food was fresh and delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Wait staff was quick and attentive. Food choices had a great variety of seafood options. Prices were reasonable and our meals were delicious and plentiful! Would go back.

Maybe we just came on a bad day but this was not great at all. Ordered the Mussels and it was a layer of butter and cream. They didn't taste fresh either. All 4 of us weren't able to finish them and the scallops weren't cooked very well. Langoustine and Crab cocktail was nice. I wouldn't come back to eat and no one asked how our meal was so we paid and left.

Had a beautiful meal here. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was excellent.

Had a brilliant lunch today with family. Really impressed with the quality and value for money for each of our dishes... Seafood platter, Salmon trio, Dressed crab and Seafood penne. Service was not rushed and not in your face. Loved our desserts as well ... lemon cheesecake (not baked) and fruit meringue.

This was the BEST seafood restaurant in all of SCOTLAND! I had the seafood platter. The scallops, langoustines and mussels were huge and tender. Simply amazing and superb! Would LOVE to have a dinner like that again. We ate there 2 of our 2 days in Oban Thankyou for the experience!

This was by far the BEST FOOD in all of Scotland!! We ate here 2 of our 3 nights here! So wish I could get a dinner like that again as I travel Europe. The seafood platter was my 1st choice...excellent langoustines huge tender mussels outstanding scallops. Service was impeccable. THANKYOU!

Superb - just a great place to eat, lovely ambience, friendly and efficient service, and excellent value. We began our meal with a delicious and large bowl of some of the finest mussels we have ever eaten ( the taste of the sea was utterly mouthwatering) followed by our favourite main meal of dressed crab, salad and chips. Accompanied by a fine glass of Chablis, a window seat, attentive and respectful service and a fine Oban evening it was pretty much a perfect meal. Thanks to all involved.

Just had the most wonderful meal at EE-USK with my wife and mum for my mums 75th birthday. Staff and service excellent. Food superb. Going the extra mile to sing mum Happy Birthday really made her night. Fantastic, thank you EE-USK!

I believe that it's the best place in Oban for having seafood. Very fresh, lovely staff, great atmosphere. We were allowed to have a meal in the conservatory because of our dog, but we were very greatful with their kind service. Highly recommendable!

Oh yes we had fun here! Our last official night in Scotland, we had made reservations for Ee-Usk. Please make a reservation. The stand by line/area was so crowded that we could not figure out where to go to advise we had a res. That was chaotic. Once inside it took 15 -20 minutes to have our order taken which was long. Service greatly improved after this though. We were seated upstairs which was gorgeous with a view of the harbor. I had the mussel appetizer. Get that! Huge portion and the tastiest freshest mussels I have ever had. Husband for the scallops with chorizo app. He enjoyed it. For dinner I got the scallops plate and he got the plate with the selection of three fish. His plate won that round. While I enjoyed my scallops his plate was far more superior. For dessert we got the sampler. Ooh that was delightful. I don’t even remember what was on it but all of it was delicious! I don’t think we will make it back to Oban again but thanks for the memories of this wonderful meal.

EE-USK was an excellent dining experience if you enjoy the freshest seafood. I'm not absolutely sure why Google is asking me to review this place again, since I did already a couple of months ago when we visited. I can't recall exactly what we had, other than I had a wonderful fish dish and my wife had scallops. They prepared a vegan pasta dish for my vegan daughter. They had very good service. Reservations are certainly recommended. Also a beautiful view of the Oban harbor.

Found this gem of a fish restaurant on our visit to oban with caladonia travel.... Food was superb. Situated right on the harbour.. Recommend that you book a table...

My wife and I shared the seafood platter on the first morning of our honeymoon, nearly a year ago. It was a bright crisp day and flat calm, so we had a beautiful view out over the water. The platter was gorgeous, and I had a pinot which wasn't expensive but was delicious as well. Staff were very attentive and the food appeared very quickly after we'd ordered. A very special memory and sorry I forgot to review sooner. Ps: My wife never liked salmon, and the fillet she had as part of the platter was the first time she ever enjoyed it, it was that good.

Fish platter was very good. Recommended.

Great service, food and atmosphere.

This restaurant has really fresh produce and it is a shame to see they don't manage to make it sing. It pained me to see a beautiful seabass drowning in double cream and prawns in mary rose sauce. Service was OK, but not too knowledgeable about the menu. When I asked where their cheeses came from, the waitress told me confidently: "they are all from Scotland", when even I could recognise quite a few famous French cheeses such as Morbier!

Food awesome, service awesome, an amazing experience.

Snarky , pretentious , no atmosphere , food was ok. We felt rushed , the maître d was a snob who was rude. It was to be a lovely evening out , we didn’t even bother with dessert. A lot of money to sit in a cafeteria setting less than a foot away from other diners. I’ll pass and go to the local pub next time.

Very good fish and professional service...and a very pretty view!

A beautiful restaurant right on the harbor. Great service and incredible food. Best scallops and oysters I’ve ever had.

For being Scotland's sea food mecca, this was a disappointment. Crab claw and crayfish were overcooked. The mussels tasted like that. The restaurant seems nicer than it is. Choose another restaurant in Oban!

This place seems to be riding on its past glory. The food is only average, and the service lacks professionalism, with only very young staff attending to customers. The food was far below what one would expect from a restaurant displaying that many accolades on the door. I fell I made the wrong choice as I was torn between this and the Waterfront Fish House, but I only tried EE-USK, so who knows…

There are so many good reviews I don't really need to add anything. The dishes were amazing, scallops and the platter were highlights. Excellent value for top quality seafood. Decent wine list. The staff were courteous and efficient. A window seat looking out over the islands and fishing boats at sunset makes for a very special experience.

The food here is amazing. If you like seafood then you are in for a treat. The salmon dish that we had was quite simply divine. The staff were excellent and the service was amazing. Strongly recommend this one.

Absolutely delicious meal, our fish was cooked to perfection, the sauces on each dish and the mussels could have been eaten on their own. The staff were very helpful and considerate for my gluten free needs being coeliac they understood. Eating here was a pleasure. I'm sad I don't live nearby.

I had the hake special and really enjoyed it. My wife had sea bass and liked it. The view out over the harbour was great. The restaurant is off the main street but has a nicer outlook due to that. There is a great choice of seafood.

Chowder is world top 3! The service was delightful!! I would come here weekly if I lived in Oban!! Fully recommend to anyone and everyone!

I think that "wow" sums this place up! We ordered the fish platter for 2, we initially thought we would order starters but the waitress suggested the platter would be sufficient and she was correct. Every item was cooked or prepared perfectly and it will definitely be something we talk about for a long time!

We really had a great time here food and service first class

Alright. Wide variety of fish and seafood. Everyone was delighted with their choice

This is a seafood restaurant with lovely fresh seafood. We had delicious starters and main courses. No space for desserts . Loads of choice for a person with is gluten and dairy free.

A seafood restaurant next to the ferry terminal. The staff's hospitality, food, and wine were excellent.

Perfect fish! Well presented dishes by attentive staff. Lively atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.

We had looked at reviews and decided to go here. We didn’t make a booking but managed to get a table luckily. The staff were amazing and helpful. The drinks and food were prompt for how busy it was. The local mussels were amazing and I had the Halibut for the main. The taste was excellent but plate to portion was a bit off, it was enough to eat but could have been a smaller plate

Visited on a relatively busy Friday evening in late September as a party of two having been recommended by our hotel and also a local friend. Sat in the conservatory (only dog friendly area) - it was pretty cold (appeared not heated, or if it was, it wasn’t doing a great job!). Most people wearing their coats, including me in 4 layers! If I’m honest, it feels like an excuse to turn more tables to serve food in this area outside of summer/warmer months as it really wasn’t warm enough to sit for more than an hour. We ordered 2 mains as we didn’t want to sit in there for long. Server informed me incorrectly on what I ordered (supposed to be hake with a cheese and breadcrumb crust, what arrived was a loose watery “Thermidor” sauce), so they had to correct and re-do the plate. Server did apologise for the mistake but my husband had finished eating by the time my food arrived. The Hake was poor quality with a vague sprinkling of breadcrumbs and fairly certain no cheese, along with a similarly loose watery sauce sat underneath, leaching out on the rest of the plate (no one wants soggy chips, put them in a pot if a plate is saucy). Salad was mostly beetroot, causing the rest of what was in the salad (onion and tomato) to taste also like beetroot. Not very tasty. Chips were of average quality. My husbands battered monkfish was fine although the tartare sauce was missing from the plate. Side of veg (peas, courgette etc) were overcooked. I fear this is an establishment that relies on its decent reputation and gets away with the standard of food served given the large tourist trade and churns out some fairly average food. Having eaten out in the local area for a few days I can compare similar meals at similar prices of significantly better quality. As a chef and food industry professional I’m pretty disappointed and wouldn’t recommend or return. I really hate leaving poor reviews but believe in sharing disappointing experiences. Do yourself a favour and search out the other excellent food spots outside of Oban.

The mussels were amazing. Everything else that we ordered paled in comparison but was still delicious. Views of the water were great. Service was good. Would definitely return.

Great food, rather terrible service. One of our party was rude to the server at the beginning of the meal, the rest of us apologized profusely, but the server continued a grudge for the remainder of our 2-hour dinner: refused to take our order, muttered obscenities under her breath at every interaction, rushed us out of the door. No grace in it at all. Too bad, because the food was quite good.

One of the most beautiful seafood restaurants I have ever been to. I do not trust any seafood, but this restaurant wins big. It is very delicious and you cannot miss it. I ordered fish and chips and salmon. The food is amazingly delicious, you cannot miss it. I charged approximately 40 pounds for two people. Book before you go, it's always crowded.

We enjoyed two lovely means here with Ona as our wonderful server. Try to be in her area upstairs for the wonderful service and the amazing views. Favorites were the lobster & langoustine starter and mussels for two. Reservations definitely required.

Terrible terrible experience. Don’t go here. We rang up to check we could get a table with the dog and drove over an hour to get there in good faith only to arrive to be told there were no tables available due to staffing issues. If that’s the case why tell us just an hour earlier to come over? They then promptly went on to sit a lot of other people without explaining why they were allowed to eat there and we weren’t. No apologies for giving us the wrong information and no explanation why they couldnt help us. Rude and nasty.

Great view of the bay - spectacular view of the sunset.

Delicious food, very friendly staff, and great atmosphere. I do feel that the portions are very small for the price.

We had an excellent dinner. The menu was really good, and our fish was cooked superbly. The serving staff were not very friendly, maybe it was getting close to the end of the season. But otherwise we thought this one of the best dinners we have enjoyed in Oban.

We had a fantastic meal here, could not fault it. I had the Thai fishcakes which were delicious and the scallops which were excellent. Followed by a lovely homemade chewy meringue with fruit. My husband had the prawns for starter followed by salmon and the cheese board. We found every course delicious and the staff work really hard. Beautiful location by the coast too.

We come here most times we are on our annual trip to Oban. It isn't trying to be more than it is - a good seafood restaurant (not fancy/ frills). You are best to book - particularly during the summer season. The service is quick and very good. Our waitress was very helpful in assisting with our choices. The wine list is also paired with dishes to assist, and there is a good whiskey list. We would recommend for anyone who likes fresh fish and is in Oban. We much prefer EE-USK than the fish restaurant over on the main harbour which we went to once and will never go back.

Nice dinner as the rain was pouring. Fresh fish and plenty of different dishes.

An address for very good seafood dishes

I passed my birthday having an amazing dinner at EE-USK !! Staff super friendly and the menu superb with delicious tasty dishes. I recommend the oysters and salmon very delicious!

Always eat here when we visit Oban. Recommend the taster platter of plump, soft mussels, Thai fishcake was superb and soft smoked salmon and prawn parcels. Fish platter of the day was delicious too, also recommend battered haddock

Incredible selection of local seafood

Very tasty food. Ordering vanilla ice cream is impossible...

Very good food, even for people who don't like eating fish, Reservation is necessary.

Place without a minimum of vision in catering

We enjoyed a very good meal. The price-performance ratio is also right.

No room in the main restaurant but the extra room is fine The weather is heavy rain Starter Prawn with crab realy nice Main lobster thermaldal with crab claw , wow realy nice Desert not so good , sticky toffee pudding not to my taste But staff understand So overall 5 out of 5 Nice staff

Right on the Harbour. Excellent Food. Sea Bass was Perfection. Three Coursewith Local bottled beer.

Had an excellent dinner at this harbour front seafront restaurant. It sources it's seafood locally fresh. In addition to the food menu, it had an extensive drink offering especially for the local whiskeys. Better to make reservations ahead especially for the weekend.

Very nice place. Good atmosphere. Trendy place. Quality cuisine and service. Good value for money. Don't forget Booker.

Oh My! Not the cheapest by a long shot but the service, the quality, the flavours. Absolutely FIRST class. We cannot recommend this place enough. Spoiled for choice. Loved it.

Lovely seafood, reasonably priced, excellent service.

Excellent. Best (and biggest) sea bass I've ever had! Just make sure you arrive on time for your reservation 😳

Great food, great views, helpful staff and all fairly priced. The chowder and fresh mussels were our favourites, however we enjoyed all of the dishes we had.

Service slow and sitting in the front section is freezing. The food is great though so scores high.

Great seafood after a long day exploring islands. Nice wine selection. Friendly staff. Really enjoyed the cheese selection and king scallops.

The food was so bland, it was like everything was cooked in water and with no spices. We had the scallops and the seabass. It was not worth the price and experience. The item with the most flavor were the mussles.

Wonderful food. We ate there twice and both meals were delicious. Nice location on the waterfront. Easy parking on the pier after 6 PM.

Food was good but service was not.

Had a delicious lunch with the seafood platter and battered monkfish both outstanding. Friendly and efficient service and well worth a visit if you are in Oban, best to book tho!

Although the place was one of the best rated places here, we experienced the total opposite. The attitude of the waitress was so negative. After her rushing us to order, we waited for 55 minutes for our fish to be Cooked and served. When we asked about our food, they told us that we should have told that we had a bus in 2 hours. My only advice is: just don’t eat here. Just don’t!

An stunning fresh seafood platter, amazing food

Lovely place for food. Would recommend booking. We were lucky to get a table for 2 but the staff were very accommodating and helpful. Food is so fresh and wonderfully tasty.

Fast and efficient service...and very good dishes...including the sea bass and its mash...delicious desserts...recommended 👍

Damn! It was so damn good! From start to finish. From the starter platter for two, through the scallops, to the lemon cheesecake.... The best ever eaten to date! The cheeses that my husband had were also excellent! But then to die for

Delicious!!! Absolutely wonderful menu!! The service was slightly lacking as I would have enjoyed a second glass of wine but the server did not return until we were done eating. There was no opportunity to order a second round of drinks. But I would definitely return to taste the food!

On the marina Ask for a table by the window so as not to miss the sunset Book the main room otherwise the price is not worth the experience Excellent food and wide choice Medium-high prices

Don't order the lobster! Very disappointed with our dinner, waitress said all fish was fresh, so starter was good: crab and langoustine in Marie Rose sauce tasted fresh and the sauce was not overpowering but main was so disappointing, ordered half a lobster and it tasted like it had been cooked that morning and left under the heat lamp all day, didn't taste fresh at all! I love fresh lobster and was really looking forward to this. Very disappointing!

Wonderful seafood restaurant with a great view of the bay. Important to book if you want an inside table otherwise there is an enclosed section for walk ins. The menu had plenty to offer for all seafood lovers and there were also some wine pairing recommendations. We started with the scallops and chorizo then I had a basic breaded haddock and chips, which suits my level perfectly, and my wife had the Salmon gratin. Wine ✅ food ✅ view✅.

Fish restaurant in front of the port. Excellent service, very fine food. 2 starters (salmon croquette and salmon pâté) 2 fish main courses (halibut and catch of the day) a dessert (mix of small tastings). The bill is a little steep for the Scottish average (£50 each) but, given the quality of the food, I was happy to pay.

Pesce buono ma non esaltante, crème brulle servito freddo. Rapporto qualità prezzo eccessivo. La location è suggestiva ma per diventare un top la qualità del cibo è del servizio deve migliorare di tanto

Ottimo ristorante, servizio professionale, pesce freschissimo (e ci mancherebbe ) cucinato altrettanto bene. Affacciato sul pier di Oban trovarsi al tramonto (se raramente non trovate nuvolo 😁) è uno spettacolo. Buon rapporto qualitá prezzo.
