"I also noticed a trend of online complaints regarding slow service, not just at Baab but across various restaurants. I suspect that many foreign tourists in Europe might expect an American-style dining experience, whereas establishments like Baab offer a European dining ambiance that tends to be more leisurely and indulgent. While it can feel a bit slow at times, I believe it's worth embracing that experience. It's worth mentioning that Baab is a Mediterranean restaurant located in the Scottish Highlands—a delightful surprise! After three weeks of heavy pub fare and fine multi-course European dining, we appreciated the refreshing change in ingredients, flavors, and pacing of the meal at Baab. We approached our meal with the expectation of a slower pace and were pleased that it was neither too slow nor lacking in flavor. I wholeheartedly recommend Baab, especially if you're looking for a break from typical Scottish cuisine. As for vegetarian options, they offer plenty, and all allergens are clearly listed on the menu. Parking is also a breeze with ample street parking available."

I had a fantastic meal at baab. It was a surprise to find such a great restaurant in Oban and not in Glasgow or Edinburgh. I had 2 courses plus wine, the bill could have been less but I was greedy and ordered a few side plates. I had a great view of the harbour and the setting was relaxing. Price per person: £40–50 View menu

Very disappointed as I normally enjoy Turkish/Mediterranean cuisine. The lamb kebab I had was overcooked and burnt on the outside. The flavours were there but the preparation let it down. Overpriced as well at nearly £20 for a few pieces of lamb and some salad. Rice was extra which I felt should really be included at the price. Can’t recommend it unfortunately. Service: Dine in

"Tl:DR Believe the hype. Worth travelling for. Excellent food and service in modern decor restaurant with cozy atmosphere. Great wine selection with decent recommendations for pairing. Be sure to book in advance. We came to Oban as a detour on our way back from holiday near Loch Tarbert, following a recommendation. My wife has a thing for seafood and planned it as a well deserved mini-treat for herself. Having been somewhat underwhelmed by the local sights on the particularly grey, miserable, rainy day we 'd arrived, our hopes weren 't particularly high in all honesty. We weren 't disappointed. EE-USK is the phonetic pronunciation of the Gaelic for Fish according to the website. It 's apt and the menu reflects accordingly. Reasonably priced particularly in the current climate. If you don 't like seafood or don 't eat fish, go to their sister restaurant Piazza next door. Although it seemed a bit pricey in comparison to other menu items, as this was a special treat, we went all out and ordered the Grand Platter for two , with a portion of chips naively added on (on the off chance our 9 yr old son was in a fussy mood . Now as I 've mentioned my wife is partial to sea food, and as a result we 've eaten alot of seafood platters, in various places around the world over the past 16ish years. This was up there with the best of them. A superb balance of flavours from the sea, with decent amount of different components (cooked uncooked and no obvious filler. I got about 1/2 way through before starting to notice what can only describe as akin to a religious experience, with emergence of a zen like calm and focus as I found myself savouring the various subtle nuances of different textures and flavours. It was also much bigger than anticipated. I had barely eaten anything all day and am known to have a bottomless pit for a stomach. Reader, I 'm ashamed to admit that we failed to finish it completely, which is unprecedented Believe the hype. It 's worth making the trip for. I strongly suspect we 'll be making a regular annual/biannual pilgrimage from London (at least until we can conquer the platter..."
