The Parrot And Grill - Naples

I can't rate them fairly on their food and service because they no longer allow dogs on their patio. We went there specifically because Yelp said the restaurant was dog friendly, but it's not. I'm only putting this review out there so others don't drive 20-30 minutes to eat at The Parrot Bar and Grill with their dog along with them.

Perfect spot for a beer or cocktail late at night after they roll up the sidewalks in downtown Naples. Diverse crowd. Music. Loud but not rowdy. Friendly, hardworking bar staff. Nice selection of spirits, a few craft beers and the usual mega industrial soulless American beers... I went twice in my 4 nights at a nearby hotel with no bar. Overlooks the backs of some powerboats in the covered marina slips. I'd go back!

Went here based on the yelp reviews, but I can only give it three stars at best. Place was very understaffed with only two guys acting as both thevservers and the bartender. It's also a stretch to say this sits on waterfront because it is really boat slip front dining and currently there is major construction going on right outside the restaurant/boat slip area so it is quite unsightly. I had the blackened grouper sandwich with a side of slaw for dinner. Grouper was flavorful but did not come with a side of tartar sauce as I requested and I never did end up getting the tartar sauce because flagging down one of a two person staff was almost impossible. This place is really more of a bar and is a bit grungy. Much better places in town for both food and drink.

Came here because of the view, no view unless you liked to look at a new wall. And make sure if you want good service to avoid Mike at all cost.

Late post: Came here back in December of 2019. Service was good. The drinks were good. My tater tots were glued together by the cheese. It didn't affect the taste (they were delicious). It was just annoying to have breaking tater tots. LOL. I sat outside and the view was beautiful and relaxing. It was a great dining experience.
