Reviews for The Red Parrot Restaurant in Newport, RI
Stopped for lunch and drinks and sat at the bar. Neat atmosphere good location. Our bartender JB was very good. Drinks were... delicious! Food was pretty good. Lobster nachos, seared scallops (needed more flavor) clam chow (also needed more seasoning).Seems to be a big tourist stop. Read more

I have been going to Newport for years, today was my first time here. We got a late start and we're ready for lunch as soon as... we parked in Newport. As soon as we entered the Parrot, we were promptly met by a friendly hostess. We were directed to thesecond floor and we were quickly seated. Our waiter was professional and was good at his job. The place was busy and not oncewas I concerned about service. The chowder was good and the burgers perfect. I'll soon get back to the Parrot. Read more
Our first night in Newport and we decided to have dinner at The Red Parrot. Good thing we went early the place filled up quick.... We were seated on the second floor and had a nice view of the water. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We started with theCalamari Risqué and some New England clam chowder. They were both delicious but the Calamari was definitely the favorite. Ifyou like like spice you can't go wrong with it. For entrées we had the classic lobster roll and grilled swordfish. The lobsterroll was packed with lobster and the sweet potatoes fries were outstanding along with the Caribbean sauce. The grilled swordfishhit the spot. It was fresh, served with scallops, shrimp, rice and asparagus. It was all seasoned to perfection. It was aperfect night out. Great place for families as well as a night out with a date or significant other. Read more
The menu is 18 pages long. Lots of delicious options to choose from. The vibe was amazing, the music was great. I actually tried... oysters here for the first time. It was so good. We ate upstairs (2 dining floors). The clam chowder was excellent and so wasthe calamari. There are multiple ways to have the calamari done. I enjoyed the spicy tossed calamari. Read more
Really great experience here. Service was great for the price point and the food was really good, but not great. I tried the... oysters, clam chowder, the lobster nachos, and the New York Strip. Oysters were mostly fresh, the clam chowder was good, the NYstrip was cooked perfectly, but lacked a bit of seasoning. Had to try the lobster nachos; you will definitely get gloriouspieces of lump lobster meat in your nachos. However, I found this dish a bit on the bland too. Really good experience overallat this price point, I definitely recommend you check it out. Read more
Spent my evening dining at The Red Parrot in Newport. Though I didn?t make a reservation the host had no problem seating me. I... first ordered a strawberry daiquiri, which was absolutely gorgeous. Made up with whipped cream and a cherry! A little sour, butpretty good strawberry flavor . Then I ordered the lobster bisque soup which was good tasting but no lobster in it and croutonswere soggy so i took them out. I then had to wait a bit for the server to come back. It wasn?t busy, she was just missing. Ifinally got to order and decided on the sunset strip burger. That was actually very good. Cooked perfectly medium, greatportions, and came with everything I asked for. Ordered dessert to go and it was all upside down when i got it, but stilldelicious. Food good, service eh. I?d go again, just would need a different waitress. Read more
Stopped by for a quick dinner while out in Newport and I must say it was great to be able to find a seat around 7pm and the... hosting staff was kind! It did take a little bit to get served, but after that the staff was lovely. If you want a light dinnerand are thinking about the nachos to split with two people that is enough for a meal, it is a very large amount! Sadly thelobster Mac and cheese was a bit disappointing. I would still go back! Read more
