We booked a party of 4 for a great Christmas dinner and the entire dinner was excellent. The restaurant wine list was comprised of VQA wines from the region. Our server was excellent and we had a wonderful evening. Would definitely book an event at the Oban Inn again.

The food, drinks and service were amazing. Alexa our server was delightful and made our dinner experience. The appetizers we had were delicious. Arancini balls were topnotch. My husband had the ribeye, which was cooked to perfection. I had the lobster spaghetti which was rich and creamy. It was salty and lacked flavor which was a little disappointing. After dinner we had digestifs drinks that was perfect. Manhattans were good. Overall, the room was a little too warm and quite loud. Lighting was somewhat bright. This was our first visit and won't be our last.

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!
