Here is the Swampie buzz on the Parrot
My family and I had a great dinner there tonight on the deck. Great atmosphere and great food. The waitress was extremely nice (I have a hard time hearing but I think she said her name was either Brea or Brook). The ocean views are spectacular and the bar looked awesome. My family complained about it being cold but they should’ve dressed warmer.
The staff was amazing as they spoiled my dad on his Birthday….pre cracked his lobster, attentive staff made sure all beverages and table was served often and the food fabulous. Kyle and Jess and staff do a great job!
I have to say that their Mussels were some of the best I have ever had. Fresh, sweet and what a sauce. Mary was a wonderful server and we wish her good things!!!! Hope to be back soon as we live out of state.
Excellent service and food. Sitting on the outside deck today (mid 70s in October) and enjoying the view. Beer was cold and the burger was hot. Jen was tremendous. Up and down the stairs. I never waited for anything. As always, I will be back
Honey and I decided to stay local. At The Parrot in Hull. Monday night, not to busy. But lots of surfers out there. Great night to be by the ocean. Honey and I started with chips and salsa. Nice. ( I have to apologize because we dug in as soon as everything came. ) honey got the chicken parm, a special, $15. He loved it. I got the baked haddock, with roasted potatoes, and roasted veggies, carrots and brussel sprouts. Delicious! And to add to the festivities, I had a marvelous Cosmo, and honey had an Untold beer.
And the background music is great. Late 50s early 60s. Just our genre
Wonderful dinner and drinks tonight, highly recommend The Parrot 5 stars for sure the view is spectacular!
Just had a great dinner at The Parrot in Hull. Excellent mussels, yummy pan seared scallops and risotto, and powerful pina coladas! Dined on the upper deck with gorgeous views and an awesome sea breeze!
Then on to the Parrot in Hull for dinner. Started with a dozen oysters. They’re having a special until the end of this week. 1.00 an oyster. Oysters are from Duxbury. Very good.
I had the beef short ribs. Came with mashed and assorted veggies. Asparagus, brussel sprouts, and a few others. It was very tasty.
Honey had the fish and chips which he enjoyed.
We sat at the bar and we both had a Blue Comet beer from Widowmaker brewery. Service was good and you can’t beat the view. ( Nantasket Beach ).
The top deck has great energy and unparalleled views. Perfect spot to gather with friends. My waiter was super personable and efficient. I always get the fish tacos but there are lots of great selections on the menu and my friends and family are never disappointed.
The view of the ocean is amazing. Indoor or outdoor seating. Servers were very attentive and friendly. Food was super hot, fresh and yummy…we got carnitas from the brunch menu
Driving up to the beach we spotted the Parrot restaurant’s upstairs deck. It was a 100 degree day. We popped over around 6:30 for drinks. We loved the menu, vine and cool breeze off the water. The service and food were outstanding. We ordered the quinoa salad and pan seared haddock. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. We ordered a cocktail Blue Hullwain. Great location and upstairs deck is much cooler than downstairs.
Our family (teens and parents) came here on a whim and we left really happy. The restaurant has a lovely upstairs area with amazing views over the Nantasket Beach. The food was great (we ate burgers, the shrimp & grits and carnitas tacos) and we had a super friendly and helpful server who really made us feel at home. We ate three desserts as well (lava cake x 2 and key lime pie) which were also very nicely prepared. We were happy that the portions were reasonable so that we had room for dessert as well!
Went here as it was close to our the Nantasket beach resort . The dining room was open and we had a table next to the window to see Nantasket beach. Our waitress was pleasant without being pushy and she was training a new girl who was also very nice. Our food came quickly and even our young grandson devoured his food. Very nice dinner.
