The food was absolutely incredible, staff was terrific and the whole theme was very unexpected to see in Dunoon. We had ordered a Calzone (with a side of chips) and the Cajun Chicken with chips, both of which came with a wee portion of coleslaw. The chicken melted in your mouth and was seasoned beautifully. The calzone was baked instead of fried and was the BEST calzone I have ever had. The chips were perfect and even the coleslaw was delicious (and I don't even like coleslaw!). We spoke to who we believe is the owner and he was very friendly and approachable and our server was a woman who could not have been better. Her service was as perfect as our meals. We highly recommend The 51st State Bar & Grill and will definitely be back next time we are in Dunoon.

After having my fill of seafood, my husband and I decided to give Piazza a try. I was very pleased…read moreboth with the quantity and quality of my food. I ordered the bolognese pizza and the mixed greens salad with shaved parmesan. The pizza was hot and very flavorful. Contrary to other reviews, I thought the 12 inch size was perfect.

He wished for more layers and more ricotta, but said it tasted good. With a lovely water view and attentive wait staff, I rate this place 5 of 5.

The menu is huge, with lots of sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, pastas and even curry. I asked about gluten free options and the waitress seemed really irritated with me and kept sighing and going to check with the kitchen. Really not sure why she was being so unpleasant since I asked about a specific dish and had a back up plan if that one was a problem (and it was.) I got a bunless chesseburger and chips. My partner ordered a mushroom pizza. The food was average, not bad but nothing to write home about. The burger was cheese coated and really greasy, chips were okay. My partner said his pizza wasn't very good. Really, this rating is based on the sour waitress who couldn't be bothered. Everyone else in there seemed perfectly pleasant, so I think we were just unlucky. If you find yourself starving and on this pier, there's an Italian restaurant just at the end that was fab, and while I didn't try it this trip, there's also a seafood restaurant on the pier that is supposed to be outstanding. Either would be better options than this one.

I've been to the oban bay fish & chip shop on a few occasions but usually of peak season where you can only order to take out. It surprising that there are now three chip shops on this street and spaced not far from each other business here must be cutthroat. There is usually a specials board where you can buy a two course meal for £5.95 or in the summer £9.95 but none of the specials where fish as l expected that it would have. You can still buy good fish & chips here some of the other items on the menu l would expect have been bought in pre prepared.

We had some really good local beer (Jarl - Fyne Ales), a baked potato to go with and mussels. The mussels were really good - fresh and nicely sized. Beer - as mentioned - really good with almost fruity flavours. The potatoe was not that great. Pretty plain and lacking any flavours and spice. Ok, was just a snack on the side, but still. But all in all a nice little place. It felt good to sit outside in the sun and enjoy some mussels and a cold beer.

The service here is really good; polite, helpful staff that don't intrude but do take the time to make sure you are enjoying your meal. I have visited maybe half a dozen times and have never left feeling anything other than really satisfied. Portions are quite generous. The restaurant is actually part of an old church building and little has changed inside other than the seating. This may put a few folk off, add to the appeal for others but in any case, if you are in the area you can find some reasonably priced, filling and tasty food here.
