TSK in Newport. They started serving their entrees a la carte and there is also a note on the menu that they're charging a 3% service fee on every check which goes directly to the kitchen staff.

It was about 1k and the incentive level at the time was 75% covered by program so I only paid 25% of the total cost. Incentives have changed. I think right now only 50% of total cost is covered. If you want to be prepared by next winter, you should call for an assessment asap. The energy assessment is no cost.

The article is behind a pay wall, but the link says 2020. Not sure how that would be relevant. Regardless, some Rhode Islanders are going to face eviction when they've used up their money to stay warm, and/or they're shivering in their homes to afford food, and the state is shrugging its shoulders. It's not an "everything sucks here" problem. It's a horrific situation for many people.
