My favorite fried chicken is Localz in portsmouth. Favorite fancy restaurant is Bouchard in Newport. Favorite fried seafood is Blount in Warren.

Fancy: Gracie’s.

Bouchard are elitist assholes who are out of touch with reality. Food is top notch and all, but the service and business model is utter dog shit. I’m never into being treated like crap and as a second class citizen as a paying customer.

Gracie’s food is as good if not better and the service and staff are always utterly amazing and engaging.

Huh, I have never tried Gracie's. Where is it? I have also never felt treated poorly at Bouchard, but I'm still always looking for good food.

It’s a high end in downtown prov. Try them. As good as the food is the service is even better.

The thing with Bouchard is I’ve gone a number of times and while the food is great. The attitude from servers. When making reservations. Just overall. Yeah no. I just can’t when you act like you are La Bernadin or TFL. You are in Newport. And treating someone like they aren’t worth your time on a random Wednesday evening in December just leaves such a sour taste it’s a perma “hell no” to me. YMMV
