Wir kamen zu fünft und wurden schon recht pampig begrüßt. Außer uns waren nur drei andere Gäste da. Die Bedienungen waren sehr ruppig und haben keine einladende Atmosphäre geschaffen. Das Essen war ok aber auch nichts besonderes. Für uns kein zweiter Besuch wert

My wife and I had a fantastic lunch the Bar Rio, my wife had the God Father pizza which described as one of the best pizzas she has ever had, I had the Buttermilk Chicken Burger which actually melted in my mouth, fantastic!!! I have to say that the service was also excellent, a very friendly experience.

I was drawn in by the lunchtime soup and sandwich offer of £8.95 clearly advertised outside on chalkboard and in window (see picture). Food was nice enough, however when the bill arrived the waitress explained that offer was now actually £10.95, as price had changed recently, albeit this was not reflected in adverts outside. Felt a bit cheated and won’t be returning to this location sadly.

Was in for dinner this evening with my partner at around 5pm, the restaurant was empty besides my partner and I. The waitress and the service was good but the food was a massive let down. We both had the chicken burger which Is usually amazing but tonight was the polar opposite the chicken was 3 tiny thin pieces of dried out batter essentially it was borderline inedible this was especially disappointing because we waited almost 30 minutes for our meal We usually love bar rio but tonight was a massive let down

Siano entrati in questo ristorante che prometteva anche pizza e un menù maggiormente mediterraneo Abbiamo iniziato con una caprese non male e proseguito con spaghetti alla bolognese Devo dire non male rispetto al timore che sempre un italiano prova all'estero aspettandosi la pasta della mamma o della nonna.Troppo abbondante il ragù (per i nostri standard) che di sapore era buono. Il servizio :gentile e spiritoso il cameriere gentile ma maldestra la cameriera Locale a vocazione raffinata Costo nella media

What a nice dinner! The menu is quite varied, but as we had had a late lunch, we decided on sharing a huge fish (haddock) and chips dinner. The fish was delicate and perfectly cooked and the fries were the best we've had in Scotland. But even better was the service from Trisha (drinks) and Sandy (food)! Even though it was a busy night, we always felt they were aware of our needs. Great job!

J'ai commandé un burger en pensant ne pas prendre de risque... Très mauvaise surprise lors du service, un steak surgelé 1er prix dégoûtant, idem pour la feuille de laitue iceberg et la tranche de tomate. Les pizzas avaient également l'air d'être surgelées. J'ai compris pourquoi ce restaurant n'était pas complet contrairement aux autres. Serveuse peu avenante. Je déconseille vivement à moins d'être à la recherche de sensations fortes aux toilettes. J'aurais aimé voir l'état des cuisines.

We got a table here at short notice when we were let down by restaurant we had booked with. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the best experience. I think, like everywhere in tourist spots, they are really struggling for staff and most of the staff they had were not that great.

Food made us all sick the day after as it tasted like microwaved garbage that had been sitting around for weeks. However this wasn’t even the worst thing about this place as the waitresses were on another level of abysmal. Blonde woman that waited for us was very cold upon arrival almost robotic like. We weren’t shown to our table and when she came over to take our order she was very short with us. The cutlery was launched at us like a magic act throwing darts at a rotating subject. Once the food finally arrived it was delivered in what can only be described as a human buffet table. The food was not served but instead we had to reach over to the waitress’s poorly extended arms to serve our own food. There were no words exchanged at this point she just stared blankly. It felt like we were waitressing for her. We asked for garlic Mayo which arrived over top of the table just hovering there like a ufo. Again, we had to serve it ourselves. Safe to say we won’t be back here. It’s the first time we have not left a tip and felt no guilt. I am convinced rude behaviour and bad conversational skills are part of their training.

Arrived in Oban on a very wet Thursday night after a long day travelling. Decided to eat in the hotel as too tired to go any farther that night. Had a very tasty meal in Bar Rio . The highlight was the home made steak pie which was of enormous proportions and of very good quality. Also tried the king prawn penne pasta which was very tasty but could have been a wee bit warmer. Overall-a good meal and very good value for money.

We decided we wanted pizza for dinner before we found out the restaurant we wanted to dine at was booked up. We decided we still wanted pizza so came to Bar Rio.The restaurant lives up to its name as it feels more like a bar with seating than a restaurant. The decor is uninspiring and the tv's were showing music videos of club music.We ordered two pizzas and two side salads, everything was just ok. The pizzas were greasy and thin and the salads were inconsistent. One salad had far more capsicum and tomato than the other.I've given an average score because the price was quite cheap but you may be able to get better pizza for the same price elsewhere in Oban.

Food came out hot, full of flavour and we didn’t wait long either. Service was fantastic, our waiter Stephen always had a smile on his face from the minute we walked through the door, nothing was a problem, he was friendly and easy to chat away to. 5 star to him!

Nos alojamos en el hotel en el que se encuentra este restaurante. Al principio parecía extraño, como si estuviera luchando por su propia identidad. El menú variaba desde comida de bar estándar, hasta pizzas italianas, pastas, luego una página aleatoria de curry en la parte posterior. Mi compañero y yo pedimos la única mitad de pizza, mitad de pasta como nunca habíamos visto antes. Fue muy sabroso y una alternativa encantadora a todos los impresionantes mariscos que se ofrecen en Oban. El personal fue muy amable y servicial. Una comida barata y alegre, volveremos.

Esta es una muy buena adición al Hotel Columba desde la última vez que estuvimos allí. Comimos en Bar Rio la primera noche de nuestra estancia, y en general fue muy bueno. Hay una gran selección en el menú y la comida y el servicio fueron excelentes. No somos fanáticos de los deportes, por lo que la pantalla masiva y una pequeña en nuestra mesa de comedor fueron más bien una distracción, pero reconocemos que esto es lo que muchas personas quieren hoy en día.Mi marido tenía tres platos: Bruschetta, un postre Bellatoni Pizza y Chocolate Fondant para terminar, una pinta de cerveza y dos vasos de vino tinto de 250 ml. Todos los platos eran geniales.Solo tenía lo que era una ensalada César excelente y una botella de agua con gas. Los dos estábamos realmente sorprendidos al descubrir por nuestra factura que mi agua costaba la friolera de 4. 20) Ese cargo exorbitante empeoró aún más por el hecho de que mi plato principal costaba solo 7. 95) La pinta de Heverlee fue solo 3. 60 y los vinos de 250 ml fueron solo 5. 25 por amor de Dios.Definitivamente recomiendo la comida, el servicio y la ubicación, pero elija sabiamente sus bebidas si desea una buena relación calidad-precio.

This restaurant is part of the St Columba's Hotel near a harbour. We ordered a pasta dish - Al Forno - however it was awful and so much so we both left the bulk of the meal. Waiter who was behind the bar asked if we enjoyed our meal. Told him "no". Paid our bill and left. The plates would have told their own story as to how we felt about the meal The question "Is this restaurant good for lunch" - As I am basing this on our own experience and one visit only I cannot answer this question .

There were sweet potato chips also. They did leave off my salad though. The service is very nice and it didn’t take long. I was there a little before noon, so it may get busier later into lunchtime. People had started to arrive by the time I was leaving. Overall it was lovely so if this is the kind of food you’re after you will be fine here.

Thanks to the chef for making it spicy for me! My husband had a half and half pizza and pasta which is a great idea! The orange sorbet for dessert was also exquisite.

After looking at a few restaurants we settled on Bar Rio and we’re glad we did. Fabulous place. Lovely greeting when we entered, given an option of tables (there were 7 of us) and an offer of high chair without having to ask. Drinks order was promptly taken and we were given time to peruse the menu. Great selection of food. Mainly Italian but also has a curry menu. Our younger children were offered paper and crayons which was a nice touch. We ordered pizzas and pasta dishes and I feel waiting time was in line with the time it takes in preparing and cooking a fresh dish. One of the best pizzas I have had, absolutely delicious. My husband was impressed with his pasta and our children loved their dishes. We will definitely return.

Went to the restaurant and was greeted by a very nice blond hostess. Ordered drinks and food. The service from the bald bartender was horrible. He did not care what we ordered, and just made drinks and gave them to us. Did not follow instructions charged us 11.00 pounds for a drink. Ordered a single shot of vodka and another drink arrived. I complained and he said I should have sent them back. We diddent want to have a bad time so we just delt with it. I mentioned the issue to him and he said to me it's only 25 pounds. This is typical of a bartender who does not like tourists and will over charge them whenever he can. I will not return.

Then when the food came it was missing chips so I reminded the waitress. 5 mins later they appeared piping hot so they had obviously been forgotten and had to be made after I reminded her! Once I can understand but everyone we r there the food takes far too long!

Vine aquí con mi familia a cenar en una visita a Oban. El personal era amable y un buen servicio. Un montón de opciones para todos los gustos y un menú para niños. Todos teníamos pizza, hamburguesas y el curry y todos estábamos contentos con lo que conseguimos. Lo único que no me gustó fue el MTV en el fondo que mis hijos miraban constantemente, pero aparte de eso, un pulgar hacia arriba

We ate here while staying at the Columba hotel. The food was very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Recommended.

We both opted for a pizza and weren’t disappointed. They were both delicious with plenty of topping. The young people serving were very approachable and checked we were happy with our meals.

Great food, lovely waitress and an amazing atmosphere. I had the steak pie and my boyfriend had a burger which were both perfect. Will definitely be one to re-visit when we are back in the area.

Having heard a few stories from ex employees about the kitchen staff (chef's washing themselves in kitchen sinks, drying off with a tea towel then using said tea towel to wipe food residue off knives and then cutting food) we did not eat here.. it's a good meeting place as it's central in town. But that's as much as I can muster when it comes to a one star review.

Wandering around Oban with friends, trying to choose somewhere to eat, but there's always somebody not happy with each restaurant proposed. Luckily, we could all find something to eat from Rio's menu. Rio pizza in my case.

Arrivée tardive à Oban, et seul restaurant encore ouvert un samedi soir. Il était pleins donc nous étions confiant. Pas de place, on nous fait patienter au bar, nous prenons un verre (bière locale), pas décu. Endroit assez branché, musique assez forte, télé avec clip musicaux, aux vues du nombre de jeunes on se dit que c'est THE place to be. ON se mets à table, les burgers défilent sur les tables à coté, j'en commande un. Résultats : hyper déçu... pain artisanal excellent, frites bonnes, mais viande... immangeable... ce n'était pas un steack mais.. une reconstitution de viande pour en faire un steak haché, vraiment dommage car tout le reste était top! Rapport qualité-prix assez bon tout de même.

The lasagne, if that what you can call it was terrible. The first time it was cold in the centre, second time you can see in the photographs, was missing the pasta and looked like the dog had, had ago. My burger was OK, my eldest sons pizza was fine, and my youngest sons spaghetti bolognese was poor.

service was very good,although some of the staff seemed a bit lost at times and didn't seem to know what other staff were doing in relation to taking food and drinks orders.food was lovely,we both had the steak pie.the only criticism being the portion was a bit too big for me! Stephen was our waiter and was very attentive .

We booked here for our Christmas staff meal, we had off the Christmas 3 course menu. Well where do I start, we waited half an hour before we were even asked if we wanted any drinks. The place was freezing, when we finally got our drinks the lemonade was flat. All of our main courses were cold, the turkey was VERY dry and the beef looked like a piece of cardboard it was tough and dry. We sent most of our mains back for them to heat up in the microwave. The staff were slow on asking if we wanted any more drinks, did not ask at all how everything was at any point during or when leaving. The place wasn't even busy and no wonder as the service is poor, will NOT be coming back!

Spent two nights here in the Queen Victoria suite. Rooms were spotless, bed super comfy and the views from the bay window just stunning. Breakfast a little underwhelming, hence the four stars. Looking forward to our next visit in the very near future.

Revisé Rio hace 5/6 semanas y no fue mucho. Volvimos hoy, ya que somos visitantes regulares de Glasgow y me complace decir que fue mucho mejor. En cuanto a la comida, ambos fuimos por el pescado y las patatas fritas y fue hermoso. Bonita rebanada fresca de eglefino en una masa encantadora. Lo que sí quiero decir es que el personal fue brillante. Estaba muy ocupado, pero el señor que nos servía, creo que se llamaba Jim o Joe, nos encontró una mesa muy rápidamente y luego nos trasladó a otra que estaba disponible en la ventana. Después de eso él fue muy atento y rápido en tomar nuestra bebida y luego ordenar comida. Muchas gracias. Espero que la próxima vez que visitemos sea tan bueno como sea.

In our opinion not recommended The location is ok, right in the center. Some of the hotel's own parking spaces are in front of the door We didn't like anything else in this hotel. It was probably the worst hotel on our entire UK trip. We booked a better room with a view. I don't want to know what the standard rooms in this hotel are supposed to be like, but the room we got was dark, very worn and very dirty. Even though the relatively friendly manager at the reception assured us that it was the best room in the hotel, we don't want to believe him: firstly, because it would be a real shame for the entire hotel, and secondly, because it's not true: us We've already seen that there were rooms facing the sea in the same category, where it certainly wasn't as loud. And our room had a window facing the promenade with several bars and cafes, so it was very loud until late at night

Best part: rice is available Worst part: butter chicken tastes sweet, like coconut, like a pumpkin soup. With pieces of chicken floating in watery broth. As an asian tourist, i recommend you come here only if you need some rice in your system

Food was of a high standard and reasonably priced. The mussels were the biggest and plumpest I've had in a long time. Would definitely recommend although they do add a service charge on to the bill automatically, irrespective of the size of your party. It's a bit presumptuous, but i assume you can ask for it to be taken off.

Great ice-cream parlour! Lots to choose from! But it's overpriced for what it is frozen water and flavour can't be expensive! To make but it's alright I would recommend this place more than "vanilla" next door 🚪
