The Parrot Patio Bar & Grill

So the spinach and artichoke and the buffalo chicken dip for some of the more flavorful dishes that we had the Creole chicken nachos needed more Creole sauce the coconut shrimp we're good but not the best that we've had here in Sarasota and the chicken corn chowder that has lots of phrases it's missing make sure you get butter and you add some salt. With that said the manager was very gracious and helping us find parking because it's horrendous. With two big bars one inside and one outside there's not enough spots for the restaurant. If you park in on reserve parking for this restaurant you will be

Family friendly, dog friendly, live music, clean restrooms, pleasant staff, decent bar food, draft beer selection, lots of liquor, fun decor, only thing that would have been better is if it were located on the water! ????????????????

Great drinks, surprisingly good food. I sat at the bar and the bartender (Kelly) was very prompt and attentive. My lemon drop martini (with extra sugar on the rim) was perfect. I ordered the Parrot chicken sandwich, not expecting much because bar food usually isn't all that great. But the sandwich was excellent and I ate the whole thing, along with some tater tots. I have found my new favorite local place.
