Here in Rhode Island we pride ourselves on knowing all the great restaurants right? And there are MANY of them here, from Providence to Westerly and everywhere in between. However, the eatery named as one of the Top 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in America (By the Open Table app), is one that's not even on my radar. My wife and I tend to research a lot of restaurants when we plan a big occasion like a birthday or anniversary, so I thought I had a pretty good handle on the places with a great reputation...but I must say that I had never heard of this one. Bouchard Restaurant and Inn - Newport, RI ranks as one of the best places for a romantic dinner. Reading the reviews on Open Table, the place has a mix of charming atmosphere and great food. Hmph. If you've been there, please let me know what you think and email me at: bill@b101.com.
