Oblo in Scottish Borders

I recently visited this Italian restaurant and really enjoyed the overall experience. The food was great, though the dessert didn’t impress me as much. The place is unexpectedly fancy yet cozy, with a pleasant atmosphere and good service.

Fabulous Italian restaurant (that also does Scottish classics). Good service. Loved the season drinks menu and the decor. Pizza was good, tiramisu was great (huge!). Photo: Margareta pizza, broccoli & herb mac & cheese. Tiramisu and sticky toffee pudding.

We had breakfast and it was delicious. Great choices of food and drinks. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and efficient.

Stopped here for a coffee the service was very good. Would definitely recommend 👌

Hands down The Best Service anywhere. The staff were so friendly and made us feel very welcome. In fact they made our stay in Eyemouth very enjoyable. Food was excellent too.

Popped in for a snack on Saturday lunchtime, the waiter was very friendly and attentive. We weren’t hugely hungry and had a couple of their small plates which were tasty, well priced and hit the spot.

Visited here twice during our time in the area, First time was amazing so we booked again and all I can say it was a shambles. Staff appeared to be running around like headless chickens (the older guy that served us just didn't seem to have a clue what was going on). Our breakfast order came without Mushrooms so we asked why, they didn't have any, then they found some and sent us a plateful very poorly presented. Another dish we ordered was far too much to be crammed into a small dish. Overall the second visit (which we were looking forward to) was a massive disappointment. This was mentioned to the guy who served us when we paid but he just seemed not the slightest bit interested, doubt we'd return here.

Very good food and friendly waiter but unfortunate on my view sharp practice on descriptions and bill. We had the seafood platter for two. The side dishes were sufficient to share, but for the main course fish, one would reasonably expect one filler each . Wrong. When I queried waiter did not disagree and checked with manager who said we were expected to cut the one small fillet into two portions. Also we were offered sauce No mention that there would be extra charge. Tried to charge an extra 2.50. Manager agreed you would expect tartare and vinegar to be included with fish dish and with not very good grace reversed this charge. She has also given card machine total without detailed bill. It was only when I asked for full bill I could see the extra charge Such a pity the good work of.chef and friendly waiter were spoilt by these management actions. it was still reasonable value but they should be more transparent.

On face value the menu read well & had enough choice for the three of us. The staff were friendly & attentive ,giving us enough time to make our choices. My go to dish is normally a Seafood pasta dish with a good & generous selection of fish & shellfish served with Tagliatelle or Linguine. The menu states: Seafood Pasta a mixture of today's seafood - please ask staff When I did the above I was told “Trout” with Spaghetti. I expected to receive a pasta dish with flakes of trout, clams,squid & mussels etc! I received a bowl of Spaghetti with very uniformly diced trout & no shellfish whatsoever. It tasted ok but could have been much,much better. Disappointed! The other dishes were ok but not amazing either. We wouldn’t be in a rush to go back which is a pity as the staff & dining rooms are excellent.

Amazing service and the best gluten free food I have ever had!

Didn't eat, we just had cocktails They were great. All non-alcoholic for me as I was driving, but great tastes.

Great service - really quick! Delicious food - we had a "small plate" of salmon. The restaurant is conveniently situated by the harbour and the fish is fresh. The bar has a contemporary feel and there is a lot of variety on offer.

Delicious pizza with the thinnest crust and tastiest ham. I don’t think there’s anywhere like this with such gorgeous food and setting in a small working harbour. The whole experience is fantastic as we savoured our food we could see the fisherman bring in fresh lobsters. An idyllic experience. Thank you.

Food was excellent, we enjoyed both a main and a pudding. Children’s also enjoyed their food. Worth booking a table as it was so busy mid week people were being turned away. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only complaint was when we came in the whole place stunk of cigarette smoke coming in from the balcony doors

We had a great dinner. Everything was very tasty and well made. When we arrived there wasn't an official table available but since we were there early and with kids they let us have dinner in their waiting area, very kind.

Very good food, we had a perfect lunch on a sunny terrace. The waiters were very gentle, nice and helpful

Always good at Oblo - great team of staff serving great food and drink in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere Still as good as ever on our visit today Can confirm this again today!

We love going to Oblos and have done for many years but so disappointed this visit I have to say that was the worst seafood pasta ever A piece of haddock over the top of bland tomato sauce and overcooked prawns and pasta Which were described as king prawns no way were they king prawns Where were the mussels etc and the flavour in the sauce The Ship does a seafood pasta and it is so much nicer then Oblos for near on same price Lemon and thyme chicken ordered but couldn’t taste lemon or thyme but the chicken was nice When they asked if the food was ok they were not happy that we said it was only ok and no further opinions were asked for Staff did not seem to know how to handle honest feed back about the food even though they asked for an opinion Sorry to say not the best food today

The staff are very professional, helpful and friendly. They have a good menu with thoughtfully prepared meals and plenty of choice. The service is efficient and the food is nicely cooked. Fantastic ambience and great value.

Very nice place to visit Only had drinks and bought a gift from the shop but staff were great and atmosphere good.

Great food. Good service. Nice place.

Lunch and cocktails for five. The sun was shining and we sat on the balcony overlooking the harbour. My friend and I shared a delicious seafood platter - which was one of the specials and I had one of the best margaritas I've had in ages. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Enjoyed a delicious family lunch on Sunday. Food was well priced, great service from the team too and engaged with our kids. Really nice mocktail menu too.

Great pizza and drinks. Our regular haunt when we visit Eyemouth.

Lovely little find while on holiday in the Scottish Borders. Visited for lunch as a table of 4 adults and 2 kids! Service was excellent and all of our meals were fab! Great kids menu and beautiful wine - Would definitely recommend :-)

Every time I have visited OBLo the staff have been very welcoming, polite and helpful. The food is always of a high standard and delicious. I would highly recommend. The restaurant was clean and the toilet facilities were very clean and adequate. I will definitely be back

Not a restaurant. More like a pub meal. The table we had was beside a large group of drunks, shouting over each other to the point I couldn't even hear what the person opposite was saying. The meal was average and I couldn't wait to get out. I'll never return to this place.

Good place to eat with the most interesting menu in Eyemouth, sadly only serving lunches to 5pm, or pizza to 6pm when we visited. So, best check ahead.

Absolutely amazing place. Staff are friendly and really clued up on allergens. Food is phenomenal and the atmosphere and decor is relaxing and inviting. Would highly recommend and will definately visit again when we are in the area.

Beautiful location , cozy ambience, delicious food . Worth a visit in Eyemouth.

Had a really nice meal, was planning on going to the ice cream shop after but being Sunday they closed early. The restaurant have a choice of 1,2 or 3 courses for a set price or you can order off another menu. There is a sun lounge that allows you to look over the harbour, or plenty of seats inside. Those that can’t climb the stairs, as it’s upstairs, there is a lift.

We had a fantastic lunch at Oblo this afternoon, the drinks were perfect and the food was delicious (lemon chicken and vegetarian nachos) It was a very busy service which put pressure on the staff but they remained cool, collected and friendly.

Came for lunch the day before and came back next day for breakfast, all food was fresh and super tasty, service was great nice atmosphere, would travel to Eyemouth just for the restaurant, will never be any FOMO all food is amazing, chai latte tasted like coffee though but wouldn’t stop me from coming back so so good!

A ciabatta role with goats cheese and salad was just the ticket for lunch and was served quickly, was generously filled and absolutely delicious. Great value.

Ideal situation with helpful staff7

Found this amazing place as we walk along Quay. Pizza was made fresh with wonderful toppings, lovely and light. Great atmosphere very friendly and approachable staff. Well worth a visit

Nice choice of food. Had the slow cooked beef which was excellent. Some of the drinkers at the bar were a bit loud as the rugby was on.

Mixed, the food we had was cooked superbly and tasted lovely (Lemon/ Thyme chicken). Our children had pizza, which was just too thin, a crust, and sparse toppings. Not much choice, either. The cokes were just sparking, fizzy water with no flavour.

Staff helpfull Food nice Will use again

Had a lovely meal here for my 70th birthday. Staff friendly and smiling. Lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

My wife and I had lunch on Sunday 28 January. The Sunday Roast beef and haggis was superb. The food was quick to arrive, the staff are lovely, and the restaurant is a very peaceful place to be. We have been many times over the years and always have a great experience. Recommended.

Can't fault it. Absolutely amazing! Love it...little bit more expensive but amazing treat.

Great food, great service, excellent place to spend time.

Oblo is one of our go to places ! We love their pizza. The restaurant has recently been refurbished and is looking smart. Service was spot on and the meal was lovely.

food was delicious. i ordered the cheddar and tomato toastie with soup and i was instead given the cheddar and ham toastie when my partner told the server i don’t eat meat he took at away straight away and got me the correct one and even took one of our drinks off the bill to make up for it which was totally not necessary and i thought it was lovely. although a mistake was made, because of how they dealt with it i cant fault the service. very reasonably priced as well about 10 pound each for what we got

It's a really nice place to go for food and coffee ,close to the harbour.

Excellent food, all homemade. Amazing pasta and fantastic prices! Super recommended. I think the best in Phuket.

Enjoyed a delicious gluten and dairy free spicy chicken burger. Muggle husband enjoyed his mushroom soup with a ham, cheese and onion toastie. Very helpful staff trained in allergens. Highly recommend.

Lovely looking restaurant but the food is really hamburgers Ect we got the fancy chicken Dish it was half a chicken breast flattend on a full plate of chips £15 not worth the money let down but can say coffee lovely.

Very nice evening meal Sicilian lemon chicken and Beef cheeks with sherry massala sauce are highly recommended Good quality food, well presented with plenty of taste

Awesome. Love this place. Great food, great cocktails. Family friendly. Very knowledgeable about coeliac. Highly recommend 👌

We had a few dining places to choose from in Eyemouth and so glad we decided to chose Oblo. Lovely bar/restaurant inside and out. Staff friendly and helpful. Good choice of drinks/cocktails. All our meals were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Our teenage son is a fussy eater but he enjoyed his chicken and bacon nachos so much he ordered another portion!! Reasonably priced food and drink and one of the best meals we’ve had in a while.

Service was excellent and the atmosphere is very nice. The food is ok but I would say woow. Yet I would still come again and try other items. Their Halloween drink menu is funny and worth a try too. The dessert ordered was the ginger pudding and it is to die for 😍🥰

A fairly decent choice of food, with mexican, scottish, italian influences. We had lunch outside on a balcony with a view on the moored boats. Very friendly and efficient service.

Visiting Eyemouth area and dined here twice. We tried several menu options - all good! Really helpful and friendly staff. Would recommend.

I had a really great meal, I have allergies and intolerance. I always worry a bit about what I am going to be able to eat. They put my mind at rest, made a note of what causes a problem, spoke to chef and with a few tweaks I had a lovely meal. Really recommend.

We went for dinner and checked for gluten free options which were marked on menu. Friend ordered GF lemon and rosemary chicken. Waitress checked if gluten free or Coeliac and advised chips were not GF but they could do roast potatoes. However, the following day friend was glutened, most likely cross contamination. I had carbonara which was good although quite oily. Having said all that, staff were friendly, decor good and great location. Shame food wasn't up to scratch and despite seeming knowledgeable about Coeliac think more could be done.

Visited whilst on holiday in Eyemouth. Sat upstairs, friendly staff. Ordered pizzas which were good. Coleslaw was disappointing at £2.50 as it wasn't homemade but shop bought! Had a lovely outside terrace.

We’ve spent last weekend on the East Coast to celebrate my husband’s birthday and the weather was so great on Sunday that we arrived back from the beach later than planned but still hoped to go out for a birthday meal. A quick google search suggested Oblo in Eyemouth, it had good ratings and the photos looked great so my husband phoned to book a table for 7:30pm. The girl on the phone was lovely and she informed us that kitchen closes at 7:30 so if we could please make it in before then, which we managed to do. A very friendly waiter greeted us and showed us to a lovely table in the corner behind the bar, great ambience surrounded by shelves packed with lovely pantry goods you can also buy. We got the menus, were offered tap water for the table (that came in a lovely glass bottle) and a few minutes later he took our drinks order while having a wee banter with the kids. Drinks arrived in a blink and he kindly gave us amother few minutes to choose the food. We ordered calzones for the adults, kids pizza and mac and cheese for the kids. The food took no time at all to arrive and it was the best calzone I have ever had. My daughter practically inhaled the mac and cheese and gave it 10 stars. She’s a bit of an expert when it comes to rating mac and cheese! The kids pizza was just as good judging by how quickly it disappeared! We even had some mocktails (virgin pina coladas) which were gorgeously presented and delicious and the kids had room for a scoop of Giacopazzi’s lovely local ice cream. Our waiter kindly offered to take a wee family photo for us too. He’s been really nice throughout having a wee chat and a laugh with us every time he came to the table, without being intrusive. All the other staff members were really lovely too, the atmosphere was great and you could tell by the staff’s general demeanour that they actually enjoy their work and like each other, it was such a nice change from many places I’ve been to recently, to see that the customer isn’t a chore, the staff isn’t clock watching, they know how to do their job well and they make you feel genuinely welcome. To sum it up: excellent service, exceptional food, great atmosphere. Highly recommend this gem of a place and we will be back every time we visit the area! Thank you for a lovely dining experience!

We visited as a family and immediately noticed the place was swarming with midges inside. My husband and daughter have an allergic reaction to bites so we nearly left. To say the meal wasn’t relaxed was an understatement. The food was OK, there was nothing wrong with it but we were just a bit underwhelmed. It is in a harbour, we expected the best seafood and it was very average. Stuff I could have easily got from my supermarket at home.

We ordered four 'small plates' and a side of proper chips, which made a good lunch for two. Paprika-marinated herring -- the best fancy roll-mops we've ever had: succulent, just sweet enough, tasty, and thoroughly moreish. Crayfish: dressed just right with mayonnaise and dill pickles, and likewise thoroughly moreish. Haddock & black pudding fishcakes: an idea I'll copy, though I fancy a touch more piquancy, perhaps. Hot-smoked salmon: toothache, and very nicely dressed. And the chips we're decent ones, too. :-) Helpful service and nice ambience, too: clean modern décor, not overbearing. Pleasant first-floor location by the harbour, and there's an icecream parlour next door that's part of the same set-up. Great place to eat if you're in the area, and worth heading a couple of miles off the A1 if you're en route and peckish.

Lovely breakfast set ! Food was great and service stuff were attentive

Heerlijk gegeten, vooral de club sandwich. Heel veel gerechten op de kaart zijn ook als glutenvrij te bestellen

We enjoyed a wonderful seafood dinner at Oblo this evening. Everything about the venue was excellent. Customer service. ambience and importantly the quality of the food and service. Thank you to the Team

This is the first time I've ever been out for a meal and left feeling totally dissatisfied. The food was tasteless if I'd been blind folded I could not have said what I was eating the food was bland, tasteless and quite honestly looked like it came out of a box. I wish I'd actually been honest enough to say whilst in the restaurant. We were in and out within 40 minutes which really sums it up.

It was a limited menu the night we went, only pizza, so I can't speak for the full menu. The thin-crust pizzas were just acceptable, like a frozen pizza you could bake at home. The crust had no stretch to it. The service was excellent (fast and attentive) but that couldn't make up for the food. There were also quite a few flies and fruit flies inside that bothered us the entire time.

Fantastic meal. Fresh, excellent flavours and brilliant value for money, however the best thing by a clear mile was the staff. Friendly, full of good humour and enthusiasm. Well done to all!

Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and good value for money. Definitely worth a visit.

We went both for a evening meal and breakfast before we traveled home, the food is lovely. I would recommend pre booking a table as it can get very busy during the peak season. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

As a regular customer to this restaurant, up until now we loved the consistency, friendly customer service, ambience, I felt I could trust the continuity of the quality and amount of food served. I visited this morning for breakfast too find the menu for breakfast...

Great selection of food and drink. Welcoming for a nice celebration in Eyemouth.

Well priced a lovely view and lots of seating. Was served by a lovely girl called Shannon who made the experience 10 times better!

Popped in for a quick lunch time pizza, Mama Oblo a personable favourite, friendly and efficient service, Jordan always looks after us well, thank you.

Booked this table a few months ago , got a call to say it was only a pizza evening from 3-7 pm . Ok we like pizza ,wish they’d have told me this before I booked. We had the restaurant to ourselves so service was...

Delicious beef and haggis sandwich sat outside in the sunshine. Great, friendly service and reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit if you are popping to Scotland for lunch.

Went for breakfast, got a breakfast roll with square sausage and haggis, it tasted lovely although the menu states £4.00 for a square sausage roll (2 slices) and £3.00 for an extra 2 slices of haggis. Which is reasonably priced, although when my roll arrived...

We visited after coming here last year as a big group as we had a fantastic meal. This year however what a disappointment. We ordered starters of mushrooms stuffed with dolcelatte blue cheese, what we got was 3 small closed cup mushrooms with so little...

Two of our party ordered fish and chips only to be told that peas where not included and would be charged at an additional price of £2.25 per person and house wine was 20 odd pounds for the most watery red I've had in along...

Friendly, obliging staff, good food, lovely setting.

Popped in for lunch after looking at menu outside. £9.95 for a burger seemed a reasonable price, only to be told chips were an additional £5!!! Always assumed if you ordered a burger in a restaurant it came with chips? My daughter had a small...

Came in for drinks and some food which was advertised outside with a full menu - quite an unfriendly vibe as soon as we entered. Was told by the barmaid that they had no food so we ordered drinks only but was overall very unwelcoming environment and felt quite cliquey which is strange for a touristy town. When we were sat down having drinks we witnessed someone else ordering food so was then very clear that they just didn't want to serve us. Disappointing and not somewhere I'd recommend if you're not actually from Eyemouth

Absolutely fantastic service, so friendly and had time to chat and make recommendations. The food was excellent, very tasty and cooked beautifully. Highly recommended stopping for the pub quiz and half price pizza too! Well done Oblo. We'll be back.

Stopped by for lunch, the food was so good we came back for dinner, Lunch (Oblo Club Sandwich , Cray Fish Ciabatta Sandwich, Vanilla and Spice Gingerbread Latte's), Dinner (Smoked Haddock with Potatoes and Peas, Shin of Beef with Pastry and Thick Cut Chips, followed by Caramel Flapjack and Yoghurt Topped Flapjack), we literally needed a wheel barrow to cart us out!, the service was top notch too!, 10 out of 10😀👍

Absolutely delicious breakfast with friendly staff and a lovely location. Definitely the best place in Eyemouth to eat and drink.

Oblo has a lovely ambience and gorgeous outside terrace, we had been before, decided to revisit and had a mid afternoon drink on a sunny warm day after a lovely long walk along the coast. Our experience this time round was disappointing. The overflated prices...

All fur coat and no knickers. We arrived for my birthday meal with High expectations. My husband and I are nurses and had planned a nostalgic trip back to Eyemouth. Our starters and main course arrived at same time. He explained that they had been...

Fantastic food, fantastic staff and a wonderful selection of goodies to take home or buy as gifts!

The staff were great, the food a very big disappointment, I ordered the Italian Burger, it was slightly dry, the salad, a few limp leaves, not what I expected. In the past, the burger was moist, and it came with a nice lush salad...very disappointed. I will not be going back. Enjoyed the pub quiz, though!☹️

Had the fish and chips for lunch. Highly recommend.

Charged £72 for two bottles of wine that you can buy for £10 each. A pity because the food was good, atmosphere was relaxed and the staff efficient and friendly. Won’t be returning.

Very good food and pleasant environment. Nice coffee and desserts. Staff very attentive. Reasonable prices. Recommended.

Highly recommend this restraunt. It’s never let us down. Always excellent service, great food and a well stocked bar. Pizzas are beautiful !

Love this gem of a place. Delicious food and a fine array of drinks. Friendly, happy staff.

I've been a few times with friends, good is good and it's a nice atmosphere

Great looking venue. Very helpful staff. Great seafood spicy pasta. Lovely creamy dessert. We really enjoyed our evening.

Just had a Scottish border breakfast well cooked and great value for money. Nice to have leafed tea. Staff were friendly and professional Came back for dinner great staff and food was excellent. Sad that more customers are not using it for dinner

Lovely food and waiting staff. Really friendly and warm service, the atmosphere is great and the place is clearly loved by the locals. Look at the generous portions! That's after eating a bit and remembering to take a photo!! Can't wait to go again and get stuffed!!

Visited Oblo on Friday and Saturday and our party enjoyed delicious food both times. The shin of beef was fantastic. I've had the seafood platter a few times but seen it was up from £40 to £60, which is a bit pricey I'd say. Other...

Lovely food. Fresh fish, crispy batter and delicious ice cream served by lovely people.
