The Red Parrot was our last stop before heading home, and we almost skipped it because we were short on time... I'm SO glad we didn't! The historic building is so neat and beautiful, and the service was amazing. They were super quick, and the drink menu was easily the best we found in town! The food was just as good, with such a diverse menu that there's truly something for everyone. It was the perfect way to end our trip! read more

The food was fine, nothing special. The staff was ok. The prices were WAY TOO HIGH. There is a hidden 20% mandatory tip and a 3% credit card fee! We were 3 people... so there is no reason the "party of 6" rule should have applied. Only reason it's not getting a 1 star is the that the ambiance and layout is nice. 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

Been here before, the place was busy but it was early enough, so no problem getting a table. We got a couple of appetizers the crab Rangoon awesome, the chicken wing were ok. My friend loved her crab cake burger. I enjoyed my salmon just which it had a little more seasoning. Drinks were good. The place is has great atmosphere. read more

Great restaurant! I loved the decor and stained glass accents and lighting. Our server Jerusha was very friendly and did a great job with recommendations and service! I had the lobster and shrimp pasta she recommended and I loved it. The basic lobster bisque was a little disappointing - not a strong lobster flavor, mostly creamy. However, my cosmopolitan martini was very good and my friends loved their entrees and cocktails too. Overall, this was one of the best meals of our weekend trip!! read more

Ambience pretty good . Three stories ! Hard to find parking nearby that is not paid. We were able to get right in without a wait . Clam chowder was okay taste with the smallest clams pieces ever ! Maybe we got the end of the batch ? My friends soda tasted like plastic . They replaced it and same issue - very odd and off putting :/ service was good for most part but wouldn't come back based on the weird tasting soda . read more

A 5 star review to The Red Parrot in Newport. Our bartender/wait staff both Jacqueline "JQ" and Nate gave us delicious dinner and dessert recommendations. The Clam Chowder and Lobster Bisque soup were superb. Flank steak sandwich was shareable for two. The restaurant atmosphere was welcoming and had a clean modern setting. A 2nd shout out to JQ and their blue cheese dressing is to die for. Red Parrot is a Newport favorite for us. read more

I have to say i love this locations. I ordered tge steak and noodles. Its a seasonal item but very delicious. Also we ordered calamari. Veey tasty. Our server Jean was incredible from start to finish. From the service and the timing to check on us throughout the whole meal. She never skipped a beat and had a great frie day presence and knew her items from tge menu when hearing her talk to other tables. The food is always consistent and full of flavor and fills you up. Its great for couples and groups. It was busy tonight but we got right in. They have 3 foors and we're on the top floor which was nice. 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

We ate here twice while in Newport because it was within walking distance of the place where we were staying. The first time, we had calamari and steamer clams. Both were excellent and our server was attentive and friendly. But...the second time, we had a male server that ruined the experience for me. Someone needs to tell him not to put his face 2 inches in front of the diners' faces. At one point, when he bent over to take my order and pronounced something with a "p" in it, I was startled to feel a wet puff of air in my eye and face! Then, when he was bending over to take an order from the people next to us, I had his butt in my face. Neither experience was pleasant! The food the second night was excellent, though. I ordered the lobster bisque with the extra lobster, and it had huge pieces of lobster in it. The soup itself was very creamy, rich, and flavorful--and there was a huge bowl of it, more than enough for a meal. Probably one of my best meals in Newport. My husband got the sesame encrusted tuna bowl and said it was very good. Again, a big bowl, and he took part of it back with us. The restaurant was crowded and a bit loud, but not loud enough that we couldn't talk. The atmosphere was pleasant and the decor was nice. I would have given this restaurant more stars if it had not been for the second server. Hopefully, someone will tell him how unpleasant it is to have him blow in someone's face (or even just get too close!) or stick his backside in their face. Additional information: big steps to get in, but, as long as you have someone with you to alert them that you need to get in, they will take you in through the kitchen door, just around the corner. read more

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

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

The food here was absolutely amazing. The coconut chicken and lobster fries were an amazing start to our meal, and the portions were huge. The burger was also very flavorful, and the chowder was the best we've ever had. Our server Joe was very friendly and helped us select our food choices. To end on a great note we had the banana Francesca dessert, and it was phenomenal. It was recommended by our server and it did not disappoint! It was such a rich and spiced banana dessert and it hit the spot. read more

Fantastic! Service was great Those lobster nachos were so damn good!

It's too good to be hidden behind bread and tomatoes Love! 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

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

Really good food. Huge portions and the service is perfection. Highly recommend! A+! Love the history behind the place as well...

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

This restaurant is a staple of Newport for many reasons. They're known for their large menu, but also for their exceptional culinary achievements. People sometimes say that if a restaurant's menu is too big, the food might not be good, but this place defies that line of thought. Beautiful ambience, dutiful waitstaff and amazing food are in store for you if you come here. This time I started out with their shrimp and scallop scampi. Seafood was all high quality and excellently cooked. The sauce has changed since I've been here last; very heavy on the wine flavor and less garlicky. Also, they're heavy handed with the butter, but you can't taste it right away because the strong wine flavor masks it. It's very delicious, but keep in mind that the amount of butter may weigh heavy on your stomach. Later on I got the Rasta Pasta, which is one of their more popular dishes and it's easy to see why. Absolutely amazingly balanced and delicious. Chicken and shrimp were great, sun dried tomatoes made the dish very savory, the cheese sauce was bold and flavorful without being too heavy. The bell peppers made the dish taste almost like pizza in pasta form. Even with all the bold flavors, this dish was surprisingly light on my stomach in comparison to the scampi. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Consistently high quality food from people who definitely know their way around a kitchen. This establishment is one of the kings of Newport for great eating. Long may it reign. read more

We were fortunate to snag a table by the front window, it was perfect. The windows were wide open letting the breeze to flow nicely in as we watched the people walk by, it was very relaxing. This place has the greatest cocktail menu I have ever seen. I wanted to have them all. I chose the chocolate monkey and it was fabulous. Could drink these all day it was like a grownup milkshake My husband and I are not big eaters so we shared the crab cakes, they were a little spicy but loaded with crabmeat. Then I had the lobster salad which was a nice mound of fancy greens surrounded with a good portion of strawberries oranges and avocados topped with a generous portion of lobster salad. The strawberry vinaigrette was delicious. It was a beautiful large salad. My husband had the lobster roll served hot with lots of butter and sweet potato waffle fries. Everything was delicious. Unfortunately the generous portions didn't leave room for dessert so we missed out on their fantastic dessert menu 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

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.

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
