Waypoint Restaurant in Argyll & Bute

very nice staff, good food and chilling vibe with a view on the bay - just what sailors need after a day on the water ☺️

We enjoyed a very good meal of mussels, black pudding bonbons followed by two rib steaks.

We took our bikes over to Kerrera for the day. We cycled towards the marina end of the island & the Waypoint was a well earned rest stop for a bite to eat! The seafood was very fresh & amazing. The spot is beautiful looking back towards Oban! We will be back!

Lovely restaurant at the Marina. The staff were great and friendly and the food was delicious (would recommend the black pudding and cheese bon bons).

We had a lovely family meal at the Waypoint whilst staying on the island of Kerrera. The fish and chips were beautiful, and whilst there wasn't a specific children's menu, they offered to do smaller portions for any meal. The deserts and cocktails were also delicious and the place had a really friendly atmosphere with a mix of locals and visitors!

Booked over the phone 3 days ago to make a restaurant reservation for 5pm today, Friday the 28th of August, for 2 people for dinner. On the phone we enquired with regards to the menu, to be informed the menu changes daily, but that there would be a vegetarian option, a fish option and a meat option of mains to choose from. We were informed that it was based on what fish were caught and what meat could be sourced from the local farm; which made our choice of restaurant more appealing! In anticipation, we took the 16.15pm ferry over. We arrived and were presented with the handwritten menu as seen in photos. There were no starters, only 4 choices of mains that were a burger, moules, pizza, or cockles and prawns. There was no fish only shellfish, which my friend really wanted but as she is allergic to shellfish, this was no option for her to choose. Dessert was ice cream only. I assumed that this must have been the specials menu. Unfortunately, it turned out that this was the whole menu. When we asked why it was so limited and why there were no starters etc, we were informed it was because they had a wedding there tomorrow that the restaurant was catering for. We were disappointed, to say the least as we both had only eaten a small amount in prep for our dinner at the restaurant. We were debating to get the next ferry back to oban and go and eat somewhere else. However, when we enquired, we were told it wasn't until 6pm. We ordered Aperol spritz cocktails. We were hungry, so we ordered; my friend ordered pizza prosciutto and mushroom for £12. I ordered Moules and Fries, as there was no option of a starter. I asked if I could have some bread and butter. We also ordered a bottle of Prosecco. Our mains arrived, to my friends surprise it was a child's size less than 9 inch size pizza with 1 mushroom cut into pieces as seen in photos. My friend is only 5 feet, so has very small hands, so the scale to hand to pizza size really shows how small it was for £12. My moules and fries were average starter size, approx 15 mussels and they were warm not hot. We were both so disappointed. We only didn't send back as we were really hungry as we had waited for this. The server took away our our plates and asked how it was. I mentioned all of the above to her and she apologised. We told the waitress we were not made aware prior, that there would be a limited menu due to the wedding tomorrow when we booked, she replied maybe there not aware of it at the time of the booking..... Surely they knew they had a wedding booked there when we booked 3 days before. We received the bill, no discount, even charged for the bread and butter, we paid it as we we needed to run to catch the 6pm Ferry. We generally always tip, but we didn't this time at this restaurant. We won't be returning. It would have been better for customers had they just closed the restaurant today as they had very little food to serve the dinners, or at the very least informed us, and we would have made other arrangements. We got back to Oben and headed straight to the fish and chip shop. The male barman was lovely and polite. The ferry was a fabulous service that served us very well with a smile. Views at the restaurant were lovely also. Aperol spritz and prosecco were lovely.

Great place to hang out and see Oban from a different perspective. Pizza & Burgers and a good selection of beers & wines. Unless you've a yacht you'll need to buy water taxi tickets £2.50 pp each way and meet the boat on the old market pier next to Piazza Restaurant. Tonight we enjoyed live music but book well ahead and follow Kerrera Marina Facebook or web 🕸️

Food was excellent. I mean, really good. Really good food ethos with local produce taking front and center. What tremendous local produce as well. Sublime. But more than that, the staff were absolutely astounding. Couldn't do more for us. We have a nervous dog and she was accommodated to the enth degree. Stupendous hospitality and we will be back.

Being a seafood connoisseur Keith’s (the fabulous chef) food and hospitality blew my mind. Awesome flavours! If you appreciate shellfish this is the place to be.

Visited Kerrera island for a short walk while staying in Oban. The ferry from north pier to the marina (£2.50 per person each way) was really easy, without having to get the bus out of town to the main ferry. We walked up to Hutchinson Monument (quite boggy), and then in the opposite direction past the farmshop and back to the marina. The Waypoint restaurant has a little honesty box based "coffee-and-cake" corner which is available even when the restaurant is not yet open. This is a lovely place to sit and relax while waiting for the return ferry - out of the elements, with great views. All staff (the ferry boat drivers, restaurant staff etc) are all very friendly and welcoming. You can book your ferry ride on the website, or just turn up.

Great restaurant. Cosy atmosphere with amazing food! Would cross the bay just for it. Highly recommended. Just had what is probably the best burger I have ever eaten here. Delicious island beef.

Had a perfectly fine evening and food from a very small menu with 3 choices - burger, pizza or a great seafood boil. It was Saturday so I suppose keeping it simple as busy BUT overheard the next door table offered scallops, lobster and steak 😲 which we had hoped for. So - ask for the secret specials 😁

Had a lovely day in Kerrera for our daughter's birthday. Food was delicious and service was very friendly and efficient - loved it and would highly recommend for a great day out 👍👍

Fantastic seafood mix, loved it! 🤩👍

Very nice restaurant with views of the beautiful countryside of Oban Harbour. Very tasty and excellent Scottish food and drink at a reasonable price (see photos, Island Boil was amazing!!!) Friendly and informative staff. It's so relaxing to have lunch at the outdoor table. If you visit this restaurant in 2022 for good food, you can take the ferry here from Oban for free.

I really wish I’d taken a picture of the food. Sadly I was captivated with the dog and hungry -demolished the food as soon as the plate touched the table. Great quality food and friendly service from all staff. We had the beef brisket a bottle of red, and shared a desert. Good serving size/price/quality. Delilah the dog is one lucky thing to live on this beautiful island wish a friendly, and efficient bunch of people.

Lovely atmosphere. Excellent food!

Had the best afternoon visiting Waypoint Restaurant, it was such a fabulous experience. Our lovely waitress went above and beyond considering it was super busy. So looking forward to going back, it's a wee hidden treasure. Veronica xxx

Great place to unwind in a peaceful and tranquil setting

Excellent food, an undiscovered gem within a 10 minute boat ride from Oban. Relaxed atmosphere, we will definitely be back. If you are in Oban and looking for something a bit different this is well worth a try.

Great restaurant located at Kerrera Marina, a short cruise across the bay from Oban. Excellent food, reasonably priced, with decent service.

nice place to eat, ordinary food, good beer

We enjoyed our lovely little boat ride over to the island of Kerrera for some lunch at the Waypoint Restaurant & Bar and a great hike around the island. Our small lunch was GREAT and perfect for what we were planning for the day. Our service was perfect and helpful - they gave us a hiking map with a key - that actually helped us quite a bit. The fish and chips were great and our views of the marina as well. Nice having bathrooms available as well and there were showers too ~ Definitely a keeper and a hidden gem.

A must visit when in Oban. Simply the best. 😎😗🚴😬

A nice taxi ferry across the bay to the waypoint restaurant, now with draught beer.

Great little trip across the bay, would highly recommend the whole experience. The ferry runs every hour until late and the owners are very kind and helpful. Food is also particularly good, and a beautiful view of Oban in the evenings.

Great staff and wonderful food. Had an amazing time.

Very pleasant restaurant on the other side of Oban Bay, boat required to get there, very good dishes including Balmoral chicken

Wonderful food and excellent service.

Its view toward the Oban is perfect 👌.

Nice atmosphere and service. Flags and sailing memorabilia on the walls. a Hadnch and the food was good.

Nice restaurant with fantastic views of Oban. We ordered different plates and all of them was lovely, but Balmoral chicken and rib eye steak was OMG. Vamos, que estaba todo muy bueno.

Friendly service, great food, cold beer!

Unless you’re already moored in the marina (we weren’t), a short ferry ride (booked separately from Oban harbour) to this marina-side restaurant is the start of this lovely evening out. The establishment is a simple wooden building, and the kitchen a separate ‘shed’ next door. This adds to, rather from detracts from the setting. The restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere, friendly welcome and spectacular views back to the mainland. The menu is short, but the food is excellent and well presented. (There’s one veggie option, and several seafood choices). We were able to sit in the restaurant, and because it was excellent weather, the doors were wide open allowing us a spectacular view across Oban harbour and all its activity. There was even a friendly reminder from the staff, about half an hour before the last ferry back to the mainland, the journey on which, with a beautiful sunset, topped off the evening. I’d fully recommend this as a venue to visit for a simple but lovely evening out.

Quite and lovely restaurant with beautiful scenery of the Oban harbor. Excellent Scottish food and drinks for reasonable price. Friendly and informative staff. It is so relaxing to have a lunch at outdoor table. In 2015, if you visit this restaurant for great food, you could take the ferry from Oban to here for free.

Pleasant and helpful staff. Good good.

Lovely food and very friendly staff. Plus it's nice and cosy after a day on the water and there are great views across the bay to Oban, so you can see all the boats and ferries coming and going.

Really nice food and a wonderful evening was had by all. Highly recommended people go. Views. Are stunning as well. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
