The Hungry Parrot

To all my valued customers and friends of the "Parrot". After nearly 22 months of continuous delays and false promises from the property owners. I am sorry to inform you that the Hungry Parrot has closed permanently. You can image my frustration as I watched a small local family friendly business begin to soar to new heights each month after only a couple of short years, due mainly to your continued support, to see it all come to an end because of the lack of concern and unethical hiring of incompetent workers by the property owners, and to then refuse to accept responsibility for their actions is way beyond my level of tolerance. To expand even further on the corruption of these "Owners", they released the property to another individual without first formally terminating our lease, and are refusing to give us all of our equipment, furniture, dishes, pictures, utensils etc... Either the new tenant is totally ignorant of the situation, or he/she is an opportunist hoping to capitalize on the situation. In either case the current situation will not stand and is soon be rectfied as we have filed a formal law suit and I believe the truth and the law are both on our side. Well, that's the situation as it stands right now. Again, I would personally like to thank each of you for you support, and express my heart felt appreciation for allowing us to serve you, and for the opportunity to get to know many of you not only as customers, but as friends .May God continue to bless you and your families. See you around toiwn :0)

Wow. After 18 solid months of nothing but constant frustration between the property owners and the attorneys it appears The Hungry parrot may be reopening in the very near future. So I need to pose a question to the 1100+ followers of this website. Would you all continue to support this restaurant if we were to make the move to re-open it? Please reply with your comment so that we may get an idea if it would be worth it for us pursue this venture once again Thank you once again for your previous patronage and I look forward to your comments and suggestions. We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.

BREAKING NEWS: Due to the incompetence and continued failures of our so called property owners and property maintenance company, and their continued lack of response to a critical roof issue we have been experiencing for well over a year now, we unfortunately are forced to temporally close to allow for exterior and interior roof and ceiling repairs due to flooding. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience or disruptions this may cause our valued customers, and please rest assured we are working diligently with the proper agencies and personnel to rectify and expedite the needed repairs. We will keep you posted on the progress. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to serving you all in the NEAR future. Happy Father's Day!!!
