What a wonderful dining experience! We were in town and stopped in for lunch one day. We were greeted very warmly upon our arrival. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and their amazing beer list (he was also a lot of fun). We had the fried green tomato appetizer. OMG! It was amazing. A unique presentation with lump crab meat & shitake mushrooms. I had the risotto which was perfectly cooked! My husband had the andouille crusted redfish and he loved it. They really do have an amazing beer list and we enjoyed everything we had. Can't wait to go back to the Purple Carrot Cafe next time I'm in the area.

There is nothing but great things going on with this place. I feel like everything from the Corn and Crab Bisque, Sea Scallops & Veal Tenderloin to the White Chocolate Bread Pudding made me want more and more! If I could eat here every night I would.

I've only been here for brunch - frankly because that's what we could afford! LOL. This place is pricey - but worth every penny! I went to 206 the day before for brunch, and left completely underwhelmed and overcharged. We went here the day after for brunch and was blown away! First, they bring out a basket of the most delectable biscuits I've tasted. Some were traditional, some were spiced cajun style, and there were even a couple mini sweet potato muffins. We ordered fried green tomatoes as a starter - and it was divine! Covered in crab meat and mushrooms and a sauce that was to die for! I ordered the eggs benedict again, and it was cooked to perfecton! The right amount of hollandaise, and to boot it came with yummy cheese grits and fresh fruit. YUMMMM!!! I highly reccommend this place if you're looking for good brunch in Hattiesburg. There really isn't any other great places to speak of in the area. I love all things Robert St John, basically! He is a genius!

I really enjoyed my two hour, four course lunch here today. My server, Rachel, was very good. She was knowledgeable, friendly, patient and attentive. Her service was perfect to be honest. The hostess was very nice as well. I had the corn and crab bisque, the duck spring rolls, andouille crusted redfish and the ginger infused creme brûlée, along with a couple of glasses of Pinot noir and a delicious cup of coffee. All of the food was perfectly seasoned and prepared. I would have the redfish over and over again! This is the type of place that there are no salt and pepper shakers to be seen, because you don't need them. Oh, and the bread and butter were divine! The bar and lounge area looked like a very comfortable, fun and trendy place to have a drink and app after work. I will be back when I am in the area.

So now that menu has changed, I need to update my review to reflect that. I get what they're trying to do, but it's just not working. Minimal selections with repetitive ingredients and nothing that really stands out. The pork belly stands out, but not in a good way...super disappointing dish. It sucks because PP was our go-to restaurant for out of town visitors. Still worth a visit for the ambiance, but the menu is meh.

Quite possibly the worst service I have experienced in several years. I have been to Hattiesburg several times to visit my mother and I have been very interested in Sunday Brunch at Purple Parrot. We called early morning to make a reservation. The number listed on the website did not connect me to anyone so we waited until the restaurant opened and headed in. The hostess asked if we had a reservation and I explained to her that I wasn't able to make one. She disputed my phone number mishap ensuring that the number was correct. She then called her manager, Robert who again told me that there were no seats available and that the number listed on the website was valid after hours...even though I know it wasn't available when I called.He sent us next door where he said there was seating. We went next door to Crescent city Grill where Robert again showed up just to make sure he reminded me that the number listed on the website connected to the restaurant. He obviously didn't understand my point. Instead of offering any kind of positive solution to our irritating visit...he suggested we visit his restaurant on another day....after we left stunned, unhappy and still hungry he followed us out into the parking lot where all of a sudden there was a table available for a now comped meal at Purple Parrot. Sorry Robert....much too little too late.

We were hoping to give them another chance. This use to be one of our favorite places. We moved from the New Orleans are and found this place to actually have really good food for special occasions and great service which was rare in the Hattiesburg area. It was unique. Our last 2 visits were disappointing. They use to offer great bread service with a variety of choices but this has switched to a plain ciabatta bread. They also took the filet off the menu which was our go to choice for a good steak. Well tonight was a complete disappointment. We were excited to hear their menu changed but unfortunately it was not for the better. Their menu lacked any options so I was stuck with the chicken and my husband the pork shoulder. I literally received half of a whole baked chicken that lacked flavor and was extremely dry. Poor taste, portion, and presentation. I would have been happier with a much cheaper rotisserie chicken from Corner Market. The sweet potatoes were the only good thing I had ordered. My husbands pork shoulder was ok. My daughter's order was something we could have gotten next door from Crescent City, so nothing special there. This will be our last time going here. This is the only restaurant that has continuously gotten worse with their food in the 5 years we have lived here. Server was very apologetic but it wasn't her fault. She provided great service.

Great place. I love local, well crafted food in small towns like this one. Easily in the top 5-10 joints I've tried in Mississippi.

This place doesn't have any regular vegetarian options. They have a nice wine list and knowledgable staff that can recommend something for your taste. The pineapple vodka tastes like it is soaked in taaka. Aside from this their specialty drinks are always perfectly mixed! The starter bread basket includes various types of breads. I am not a bread person but I always enjoy the special treats here. We cut each piece into smaller pieces so everyone can have a taste of each bread. The menu is ever evolving and each time I go I hope to see a vegetarian option but am disappointed. The past 3 years I have eaten a Christmas dinner here with my roommates from college. Each year I special order a vegetarian dish. It's nice that they will make something for me. However, the past 4 years I have had a vegetarian risotto. I'm surprised that through all of Robert St. Johns travels he hasn't decided to share the rest of the worlds vegetarian like ways with south ms. The risotto is perfectly creamy and is topped withe crisp and fresh vegetables. I do enjoy this dish but would like a change up. You can never go wrong here with the dessert. We each order a different dessert and share. I usually end up loving something I usually would never order. If the place wasn't so fancy I might lick the bread pudding bowl. :)

Quiet and upscale, this was a delight. Interesting dishes that were not heavily seasoned. Unique mixes of veggies and greens. The corn and crab bisque is a must. Duck spring rolls may not be on the menu, ask for them anyway. Topped it all off with coffee and a sweet potato blondie with praline sauce. Staff was very attentive and helpful.

I admit to having approached dining in Hattiesburg with no small amount of derision, given the overwhelming abundance of generic chains and fast food joints perpetually packed with giant pickups and SUVs stuffed with lumbering land-beasts waddling off toward that day's food trough. But the first step to overcoming prejudice is to admit that it exists. So I admit it, and having eaten at Purple Parrot I concede that I was wrong. There is good food in Hattiesburg. My lunch of snapper filet on a succotash of fresh butter beans, corn and house-smoked tasso was light and fresh with a straight forward presentation. You could see that the corn had just been cut from the cob and the beans tasted as if they had never even heard of a freezer -- a great hat-tip to the abundance of fine local Mississippi produce available (and makes you wonder why other places don't take similar advantage). Fine work. The waiter was well-trained and professional. The meal could not even be spoiled by the gentleman telling the racist joke at the table next to ours ("I bees what I bees! Guffaw guffaw!" Seriously, guy? Jim Crow wants his sense of humor back. You make my wife sitting 5 feet away from you very happy not to be white.) Anyway, I'm pleased that Purple Parrot freed me of my own prejudice against dining in Hattiesburg -- we'll surely be back during our next visit. 3.5 stars rounded up.

What a surprise to find fine dining dropped in the middle of the fast food capital of Ms.. Best corn muffins I ever had...Very expensive dinner for 6 with tip $350

Being from California, I was told to come here when i was out visiting. Well my friends took me and and wow! everything i had was amazing. I am no fan of tomatoes, but they did something with the fried green tomatoes that were so good. I wish i was closer so i can go back time and time again, but i guess i'll just have to wait until i go visit again.

I had the pleasure of dining here today for a business lunch! I tried the fried oyster Caesar salad and it was excellent! The restaurant offers a lovely atmosphere that was perfect for discussing ideas with a client! I appreciated the white linen tablecloths and the non-intrusive server! I will certainly go there again when I am in town.

This place is not as great as the staff thinks it is. Snobby atmosphere and outdated menu. Meal was ok. Service was mediocre at best. Nothing special. Ceiling tiles are badly stained and need replaced. In the restaurant industry the details are what matters. Clearly management needs a reality check on what's important when running and "upscale" dining experience. I'll not be returning.
(1)Alan J.
Food was okay, but not particularly exciting. Service was excellent, but the prices were a bit high for what we were getting.

The best of Hattiesburg. This is the only place you can go in town and get true fine dining. The food is consistently great, wine selection is exceptional, cocktails couldn't be any better, and Dusty is a world class gift to Hattiesburg and the restaurant industry.

Disappointing. We have wanted to dine here for some time. We finally did. It started at the very beginning and only got worse. Online reservations indicated no tables available at 6pm. I happened to call to be told no problem. We arrived to find only two other tables occupied! The waitress "assumed" we would not want wine and removed the wine list. Judgemental! For starters we all three choose a different soup or gumbo. All three of us were sadly disappointed. The entrees, again all different, we're all bland. It was really frustrating that it took ten minutes to get some lemon to help doctor up my fish. Remember there were two other tables occupied, glad there weren't more or I might never gotten service. Yes, we should have been finished. We did. Yes, ordered dessert. The white bread pudding was served warm , and I must say, was tasty. The second dessert was not what we ordered and it took another ten minutes to deliver the correct dessert. The third dessert was so bland, I don't remember what I had. Did we dare order coffee? Well, it was not offered. Took forever to flag down a waiter or waitress, any one would have done. After forever, coffee finally made it. I guess when it takes that long you just have to accept cold coffee, the way it was served. We waited a long time to get to try this restaurant. It will be a very long time before I go back.

A great place to dine! Staff is attentive and polite. The music is perfect for the atmosphere. The watermelon amuse bouche starts the evening and opens the palate. This restaurant is a hidden jewel.

One of the few upscale places in Hattiesburg. We used to go here for the Sunday brunch. Loved the Eggs Benedict. They have unlimited mimosas with brunch. Ain't nothing like a cool mimosa in the sweltering Mississippi heat. Reservations recommended during holiday season and for dinner.

What's to like? It's a nice restaurant with very few options. I've been there two or three times. There's almost nothing for vegetarians. They've brought me bread, which was OK but not great, and I had Pasta Alfredo once and Pasta Primavera once. Both were boring, bland, and lacking in any originality. I'm not impressed. The only reason I ever went back was because I was invited to dinner and parties there. In those situations, like my father-in-law's retirement party, I had to go whether I liked the food or not. So --- even when the food is free, I don't consider it worth eating.
(2)Penny S.
Really, really good and really really expensive. We can only afford one dinner per year at these prices. But go back we will! The service and surroundings are wonderful.
