I can vouch for that "wrong region" statement.

In the RI listings, under "Washington County" is a location in Tiverton, RI - which is in Newport County and over 20 miles away. (Narragansett Bay is between the 2 counties.) However, if you look for that restaurant under "Newport County", you will not find it listed at all!

It has been listed that way for a long time. I guess idine or the restaurant doesn't care.
