went for lunch here last week and it was very tasty, the lady serving us with the long stripy socks on (sorry i didn’t get your name) was very friendly and attentive. nice portion size, but limited menu with many of the different choices having the same toppings, limited choice for vegetarians, especially if you don’t like goats cheese as the bagels and panini’s both are with that.

A small slice of Americana across the pond! A quick, kid friendly, relaxed place with wholesome down to earth food! Would recommend the bake (jacket) potato :). Will have to come back and try something else on the extensive menu.

At least they were open. Few options in Dunoon on a Sunday evening. Ordered two small Quattro Stagione pizzas from a smiling helpful waiter. They delivered two large, (family size?), pizzas. The pizzas were only partially cut and the table knives could not handle the job. After tearing away for a while we were disappointed to find that they had very little seasoning. Although we were only charged for the small size, the sight of the twisted, congealing pizza meant that we managed only a couple of slices. At least they were open.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Decor, as expected, is Americana. This and the unobtrusive music lends to a great atmosphere.

Food was good and reasonably priced, we were £56 for 1 starter 3 mains, 3 drinks and 2 shakes. Food was tasty and portions were large, we didn't eat dinner after having lunch here, booths were spacious and the service was good. Only reason I dropped a star is that it is not dog friendly.
