Fantastic! Service was great Those lobster nachos were so damn good! I couldn't even be the cute girl on a date pretending I only pick at my food...I went innnnnnn Crab cake Sandwich was fire but I just took the patty out and oooooooweeeeee that shit slaps!!! It's too good to be hidden behind bread and tomatoes Love! read more

The lobster mac and cheese was overwhelmed with sriracha, the clam chowder had a strong flour taste, and the onion soup was so salty and slightly bitter. The burger was comparable to fast food. Overall, I've had better-tasting food from fast food places or even supermarket products. Very disappointing for Newport--I wouldn't come back. read more

The Red Parrot Restaurant - American Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Rip off. Welll. We should have asked the price of the bucket of steamers. But $40 freaking dollars? For a bucket of clams. Lots were broken shells also. My partner had the Lobster pasta dish. Red sauce. There was no discernible lobster. Little specs of red meat I suppose. A couple of small shrimp. $220.00 WIth tip. Won't be back. read more

We enjoyed scallops wrapped in bacon, sticky pork ribs, swordfish and the petite fillet. Loved them all. Staff service was friendly and efficient. Drinks were a French 75 and a Raspberry Colada. Both were delicious. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

The drinks were so good, I'd go back for those alone. The ambiance is what you'd expect for a place on Thames St. Our server was friendly and attentive. The only thing that kept me from giving this a higher rating is the fact that one person in our party cannot eat seafood due to allergies. There were very few options for folks who don't eat seafood. I also wasn't super hungry but they have basically no small plates. I asked the server for recommendations and he gave me two: ahi tuna and swordfish. I ended up ordering the swordfish and only ate about half of it. The asparagus also had no flavor. The portions were huge and I appreciated that, but it was too much for me. I'd go back for the drinks and maybe to split a plate with someone. I felt bad wasting half my plate. Also, minus a star because they charge 3% for credit cards. It's a cost of doing business and they can either absorb the cost or raise their prices by 3% to account for the credit card fee. It's pretty frustrating that businesses are trying to operate on a cash basis to avoid paying taxes. read more

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. read more

Red Parrot is always a must top for me while in Newport. It is usually where I have lunch each time I am in town. The Strawberry Balsamic dressing alone is something I look forward to, so I always get a side salad. We stared our meal with the Thai Spring rolls, which were ok but nothing special. Honestly tasted like any frozen spring roll you would buy. Then we ordered the Calamari Caesar Salad and the Mussel Soup. The salad was a large portion with crispy calamari. The Mussel soup was a very generous portion of mussels, clams and shrimp in a tomato broth. This was very flavorful and had a ton of seafood. The restaurant is large as is the menu, but it is a Newport staple. I would recommend trying this on your next trip. read more

Four of us went to the Red Parrot for dinner last night. It wasn't my first visit, and as usual, it didn't disappoint! The service was good despite the food coming out slow, but they kept checking in and let us know it was on its way. The food is just excellent. We started with the lobster quesadillas as an app and it was really loaded up with meat, the clam chowder was also a big hit. I had a blackened salmon on top of a mixed green salad that was one of the best prepared pieces of fish I've had in quite awhile! My husband had the mussels in white wine pasta dish, also a 10. Pictures of these two dishes attached. The other two orders at our table were lobster tacos and the tuna bowl, both were prepared fabulously. Overall we were super happy and looking forward to coming back to this great Newport tradition! read more

We really wanted to love this place after hearing such great reviews. Unfortunately, service was extremely slow, which didn't bother us because we understand being understaffed. Sadly though, our waiter just kind of abandoned us. We ended up giving back one of our dishes because it was not good. Thankfully they took it off the bill because it wasn't hardly eaten. The pizza we got was about a 3.5/5. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing, because people seem to absolutely rave about this place. Will love to give them another chance on our next visit. Unfortunately this time was just not it. read more

While in Newport we were looking for a place near the water to eat. While this restaurant didn't have as great a view as we hoped, we still enjoyed our time and meal. We came in early April, so it wasn't too busy yet, but the restaurant has three floors to accommodate guests. Our server did an excellent job and we were very satisfied with service. I had the fish and chips and it was delicious. It came with so much food I was able to take some home to enjoy later. My aunt got the clam chowder and couldn't stop talking about how creamy it was. Would recommend if you are in the area. The parrot decor also made it a fun vibe read more

Everything was amazing. lobster roll was absolutely amazing we got it hot with a side of butter to drizzle on and the fries and coleslaw were so good the perfect combo. We also got the oysters and clams (not pictured) but the freshest i've had so so good. For drinks we got the bloody mary, it wasn't the best but the toppings couldn't have been beat. And then for "dessert" we got the smore's martini it was sweet but nothing crazy, it also was pretty strong which is always nice. I was visiting from Newport Beach, California and I definitely would love to make another trip back here in the summer and would love to try this place out again! read more

Friendly vibe at this seafood restaurant with an extensive menu. Their RI style calamari and New England clam chowder to start were delish. Our server was very attentive and food came out hot. Our entrees were huge but not as tasty as the apps. They didn't skimp on the scallop and shrimps. Didn't have space in our tummy to try any desserts. Tip: 3% charge if you pay with credit card so try to bring enough cash if you can. read more

my group of 4 and I are from out of town and we were excited to get some seafood while visiting Newport. This restaurant stood out because it came up as a really popular and more budget friendly option in our search online. we came around 3pm and were immediately seated on the second floor. the restaurant is three floors and it was pretty full so we were looking forward to a great experience. the wait staff was friendly and attentive however unfortunately the food was very subpar. i ordered the shrimp and scallop scampi and it was extremely bland- the scallops and shrimps were not seasoned whatsoever and the sauce was also very bland- i had to add extra salt to it to try to add some semblance of flavor profile. you can see in the photo i included that the shrimps and scallops look as though they were boiled and not seasoned at all. my friends who ordered the coconut shrimp wrap and lobster roll were also very disappointed with their meals, saying they were very dry and also unseasoned. my friend who ordered the mussels and clams said the seafood didn't taste very fresh. the lobster bisque was very lacking in actual lobster. the calamari was probably the best thing we had- it was your average fried calamari but compared to the other dishes, it was well seasoned. we were really looking forward to this meal during our visit so it's really unfortunate that it ended up being a subpar experience. read more

The menu is as extensive as what you'd find at a Greek diner so expect not everything to be all that good. The Nashville chicken we tried had zero spice or kick. We wondered whether we had gotten the wrong item. The full rack of baby back ribs was priced right at $26 but it was actually a half rack. Beer, wine, and cocktail prices were not on the menu. Come on. Our server was Curtis and he was good read more

We stopped on for dinner and were not too sure what to expect. Both were pleasantly surprised. The food was great, waiter was polite and kind and the ambiance was nice as well.

Clean restaurant, fresh food always perfect from the petit filet mignon to lobster fries, blackened salmon. Had a blackened mahi taco that was the special, all outstanding. We are very picky, and make many finer meals at home and Red Parrot earns our respect. Servers are professional , prompt, attentive, Preston was great. Desserts next time. Portions are huge, don't over order. Went with a family and sat on second floor and were very comfortable. Also have at at tables near bar which can get loud and busy but service was top notch. An underrated gem in Newport. Cheers to the Red Parrot! read more

The food was very Newport authentic and Jean was an amazing waitress!! You was even well versed in gluten free dining.

Visiting from California and we jut got to town and walked here to eat. First off, this town is so cute! We sat and the distaff was super friendly. I asked for a gluten free menu because I have celiac disease. Our server brought me one. More choices than I am used to, which I appreciate! (The regular menu is huge!) I ate the GF baby back ribs and the server triple checked to make sure the BBQ sauce was gf. They were delicious! My mother in law had the Thai spring rolls (?) and clam chowder (which she liked better than the rolls) . My husband had the lobster tacos and enjoyed his food too. I appreciated the freshly brewed iced tea too! We all said we will come back here if we visit again or have a hard time finding gluten free meals for me, on this trip. read more
