A nice local independent restaurant. Usually busy in the summer but much quieter in the off season so it's easier to get a table.Food is of a Mediterranean concept so think pasta, seafood and comfort foods. It's tucked away next to the railway station and near to Witherspoon's and McCaig's Warehouse by the taxi rank.

I really enjoyed creamy fish risotto, followed by my first ever tasting of a Spanish cheesecake - but not my last! ?

Very good food and service, but not quite great and/or memorable.

Went for evening meal. Service was good, restaurant filled up very quickly. Food OK, but main courses were very small, almost children's size portion. Left having spent £60 (no alcohol) feeling hungry. Would not return, and establishment seems to survive on tourist trade single visits, as I cannot envisage a local returning , just to leave hungry.

We have been to The Olive Garden many times over the years and it is always great. Last night was no exception. Food was delicious (that seafood risotto - magnificent!), staff were lovely - and I'm going to give a special mention to the tables (you weren't expecting that were you!?) It's so nice to go to a restaurant where you aren't squashed together with your own party or with other diners. Decent sized tables and room to move your chair when you need to. A lovely dinner and a lovely evening

The Olive Garden is brilliantly located between the railway station and the port at Oban. The menu offers a great variety of food, including local fish and seafood. The service is excellent: and the owners are there and make the experience of eating at The Olive Garden quite special. Thank you to Colin and Joan, and the team. Very helpful.

Great service however pricy starter and mains could be larger. Great service but let down by portion size. Would not return as better in town.

Good food, polite and friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere. Good place to go to by yourself. I think this might also be a good place to go to with friends and colleagues.
Great fresh oysters, fish and chips and seafood chowder. Service was prompt, all of our dishes were well prepared, served fresh and hot. Adequate and reasonably priced wine selection. Pleasant surroundings. Located within steps of the ferry and train terminals.

A really special meal. I had languosteine for entree Followed by mussels for main. Very tasty and definitely more than I can eat .

A really enjoyable evening. V good and friendly service. My wife had langoustines and said they were the best she’d ever had. Tiramisu also excellent, despite unneeded cream. Thoroughly recommend!

If I could give this place 100 stars I would. It was a pleasant find, lovely welcoming staff, beautiful deco and AMAZING food. Even though we live 300 miles away we will be coming back. Xx

Convenient location in the centre of Oban. Friendly and welcoming staff. Pleasant & spacious inside. Food was good but perhaps a little overpriced? Wine was certainly overpriced in our opinion. Others may disagree. Not an unpleasant experience by any measure. The staff were great, however the prices brought down our overall review score slightly.
