Bouchard and Castle Hill are both great.

I just finished spending the last year living in RI(eating out almost everynight) and loved the local restaurant scene. Being from Ct I have been to RI many times but never spent much time eating there. Let me know if you agree or disagree. Here they are in order:

1. Chez Pascal
2. Castle Hill Inn
3. Bouchard
4. Alforno
5. Mill's Tavern
6. Trattoria Simpatico
7. Capital Grille
8. Gracie's
9. New River's
10. Ten Steak and Sushi

Best hamburger and fries: Red Stripe
Best Raw Bar: Hemmenway's
Best Pizza: Z Bar and Grille(I liked it better than alforno's pizza and half the price)
Favorite Casual Place to grab a bite: Cafe Noir

You might think how could i do a ri list without any restaurants on Federal Hill? I tried many but didn't find anything outstanding( i ate at sienna, old canteen, oyster bar, and zooma all average at best).
