    Marshmallow martini and margarita
    Maria J L.

    Food/Drinks: This place is my favorite restaurant to eat at in Newport. They have such a variety of items to choose from on their menu, and I have yet to have something that I don't like. I am obsessed with the calamari pizza, and I don't think any other restaurant offers this. It's delicious, crunchy, and tasty. The loaded lobster nachos are to die for, and although I didn't include a picture, their coconut shrimp is also one of my favorite items on the menu. Food-wise, this place does it for me every single time, and their portions are shareable. Now, the drinks. Usually, a place will be great with food and lack with their alcoholic drink options..not this one. Their martinis are delicious and strong. Their margaritas are also just as strong and all worth the price. They have a variety of other drinks, and so far, every drink I've gotten has been delicious. Location: This location is in the heart of Newport. It's pretty casual; most people dress either business casual or casual, very popular, mainly in the summer. This location has lots of seating and is first come, first serve. It's perfect for any type of occasion or just to grab a meal with family and friends. The only downside of this location is the parking, as it does not offer valet or private parking. However, knowing the area, you can usually find street parking close by with a little walk. You won't have an issue finding a spot except on those crazy summer days when there's an event in Newport. Service: Service has always been great. I have not had any bad servers as of yet, and all my in person experiences have been positive. I will not take stars for this, but I must say that I have tried calling in to do takeout, and during certain seasons, they do not do takeout at all, even on weekdays when it's a bit slower. Although the servers in person are pretty nice, I have gotten rude servers over the phone. I won't take any stars away because, in general, I really do like this location. This is definitely a must-try in Newport!

    Scallops dinner plate
    Angie K.

    Came here with a work group and were seated up on the second floor. I got the scallops dinner plate and was very glad I did! There were a good number of scallops done just right served with spinach and rice, so I got my veggies in too! Several of the other people in the group were a bit less impressed with their food. The service was at best alright. I'm not sure if it was because we were a big group and I believe (though don't have the receipt in front of me) that gratuity was already included but it was rather a challenge to get the attention of anyone for drink refills and such. Even though there were multiple floors it didn't seem that busy. That said it was good for the group, they didn't have much trouble accommodating us and there is a very large menu. I'd go back to try more things. but perhaps with fewer people next time.

    Sticky boneless wings
    Stephen V.

    Come here whenever we go to Newport for the wings. Bone In or boneless. Boneless are huge. Best around. Always try to sit at the bar. Has three floors . Have only been at 1st Fl and 2nd Fl bar. Sticky wings have a unique sweet favor and sesame seeds.Boneless buffalo are insanely good.

    This place was exactly what we needed it to be:a hearty pub style restaurant with incredible food, service and history. I loved reading more about the history on the menu and the lobster bisque ($24) was so incredible it was one of the highlights of my visit.

    The food at this place is absolutely not good I honestly would rather go to Wendy's then eat here it had absolutely no flavor it's over priced bland food when I left I literally started to get nauseous and throwing up in my mouth 0/10 would not come back here.

    Fireplace channel on the bar TV
    Maria M.

    Stopped in from the cold to rest from lots of walking. We went to the 2nd floor bar because the 1st floor was full. We tried the Siamese Chicken Wings, and were very pleasantly surprised. Fried crispy very large chicken wings (I'm not usually a fan of the extra large wings, but these were cooked crispy so NO flappy soft chicken skin- yay!) The sauce was sweet and they were completely covered in sesame seeds...so much so that me and friend kept telling each other that we had sesame seeds stuck to our lips...very sticky. We couldn't finish the generous portion so we took the rest back to our hotel and ate them late night...and they were even good cold...like cold fried chicken. Highly recommend. The old fashion cocktail I ordered was below average...regular maraschino cherry, cubed ice, a little disappointed by the drink given the quality of the chicken wings. One throwback bit of ambience that I did enjoy, and that fit right in to the ambiance was the bar TVs were showing the "fireplace channel"...oddly it did make it feel more cozy.

    While visiting Newport, we wanted to sit and look out the Bay and have lunch. We went here on several locals recommending it. The Clam Chowder was good and the Libster Bisque was dismal at best (I can get better in STL) but the Fish and Chips were bland and had absolutely No Flavor. Prices were a bit steep as well. If we just would have walked a little further down the street we would have had the view we were looking for and the Food looked Amazing.

    Calamari pizza
    Celina G.

    This was my last chance to have seafood before heading north and I'm glad we came to Red Parrot. Menu said the fish in the Fish and Chips was locally caught. It tasted fresh and was not breaded too heavily. It was served over a bed of fries, wait too many for me to finish. Though the cool dish at the table was the Calamari Pizza. It is a combo I don't think anybody knew we needed, expect for Rhode Islanders. I ate a few calamari off the pizza and it was the best calamari I think I've had because of how it was spiced. I would gladly return to Rhode Island for this culinary creation. Also at our table was the Clam Chowder and the Berry and Goat Cheese Salad. Both were also very good! I honestly did not what to expect since there are so many food options on Thames and you feel like you can walk into a tourist trap. Not at Red Parrot! Along with great food, we also got great service and a very casual environment to enjoy lunch.

    Finally came back to Red Parrot. This time I had the plain grilled swordfish; it was fresh but had no seasoning, so it was bland. BF had the fish tacos and enjoyed them. We also tried the clam chowder; this was unique, as it had caramelized onions. I liked it, but it's not the traditional clam chowder you'd normally get. I can describe the taste as creamy French onion soup with clams. Service was great. It was a nice, quiet late lunch on a Wednesday.

    You got a lot of food for your money. The place is huge and having to go upstairs to go to the bathroom every time was kind of a pain in the butt. But overall, the service was great, and you get a ton of food which you could share with others in your party if you want. We tried the lobster nachos, which I don't have no idea what was in them, but they were super delicious. They were unique that's for sure and there was a ton of them there. It's big enough that you could probably get in if you were hungry during dinner time and down on the shore area

    Chicken Popeyes sandwich
    Matthew A.

    This chicken sandwich is nothing short of a bomb of flavor and seasoned perfection. When I say there was nothing left on my plate, I mean it. Great portion of chicken, Gorgonzola and spinach pair extremely well and some freshly salted fries to go with. Overall: Fantastic and crave-worthy. If you're into sandwiches with character and a bit of bite 9.5/10. Dessert: There's no way to mess up ice cream, brown sugar, and cinnamon. No regrets.

    Chicken BBQ pizza
    Haley B.

    Everything about our experience at The Red Parrot was amazing. The hostess was friendly when greeting us. We were sat promptly. Our server, Gustavo, was such a delight. Hands down one of the best servers I've had. The food was better than we could have imagined. I would fly back to Newport just for another cup of French Onion soup. And the mushroom flatbread, oh my god it was amazing. The cheese pull alone was *chefs kiss*. The restaurant was cute and welcoming. 10/10 - I will be back for dinner.

    Shrimp & Scallop Scampi
    Srinithi R.

    I have always heard of this place being a staple in Newport so I wanted to check it out. The restaurant is very big with 3 floors. They can sit large and small groups. Their menu was extensive which made it so hard to choose from. I got the shrimp and scallop scampi and the lobster and seafood Alfredo. My favorite meal was the lobster and seafood Alfredo and I highly recommend it to anyone that goes there. The only downside was the service took forever to bring out a bottle of wine but the staff were very kind.

You walk upstairs (narrow stairway with high pitch, use the handrails) and enter the speakeasy. It was interesting in that most of the people there were families with kids - I can tell you as someone who seeks out speakeasys that this was unusual. We ordered our drinks - I ordered a Bourbon Beachcomber, and my wife ordered a Midnight Mocha, since that style of drinks is a specialty for The Copper Club. The bartender put on a good show when making the drinks, which were served in the correct glass with the correct garnish. The drink quality was solid. So why only 4 stars? This place is used for overflow seating for Wally's Weiners. That's fine, but it misses a market (and it wasn't even LISTED here on Yelp for other Yelp members to find) which is actually pretty hot right now. Maybe they need to benchmark eleven twenty two in Paso Robles, or Club Arcada in St Charles for some ideas of how to make this concept pop. Drink prices were in par for quality drinks. You can order all of Wally's menu items as well.

Huge shout out to the manager, Kristen, who makes every person feel so welcome when they walk in that front door! She couldn't have treated us more kindly and more genuinely.
