Matunuck Oyster Bar

The Matunuck Oyster Bar is working through an aftermath of a fire and operating under a tent, but you would never know that the tent was temporary. The atmosphere was lively, the interior of the tent was cozy and tastefully decorated, and the service was wonderful. My husband and I both started out with a stuffie, which we both agreed was the best stuffie we’ve ever had. There was a bit of a kick of heat, which we both appreciated. My husband had the blackened chicken sandwich, which was seasoned perfectly. I had the fish and chips - lightly battered, not greasy, and cooked perfectly. We split the chocolate torte for dessert, which was rich and delicious. From the valet team to the hostess to the food runners to our server, everyone was so kind and welcoming. Our server even took the t

Our first visit to Matunuck Oyster Bar was an absolute standout, and it showed us exactly why this place is so popular. Even with the rebuilding from the fire underway, the quality of the food and service hasn't missed a beat. The place was packed, which is always a great sign, and the vibe was energetic and fun. We were greeted warmly, and the hostesses were kind enough to accommodate our request to be seated earlier than our reservation time, which was a wonderful start to the evening. Our waiter, Cam, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot-on. The food was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. We started with a dozen of their signature Matunuck oysters, which were fresh and briny, and a cup of the classic clam

Very fresh oysters and great food overall. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable meal.

A very enjoyable afternoon under the Matunuck Oyster Bar tent! 🎪 Beautiful atmosphere - the tent is very pretty, nice furniture, 2 marble topped bars and floral decorations make it seem like a permanent restaurant. There is only valet parking right now and thankfully the young men know how to drive stick shift (to my surprise!). We started with some steamers and some Matunuck raw Oysters. The oysters were perfect without any toppings or sauce. Unfortunately they were out of the planko octopus 🐙 which I really wanted to try and also out of all cooked oysters on the appetizer menu. We opted for the fried oyster platter and a lobster roll. The fried oysters were so delicious...very plump, clean tasting and savory. The lobster roll was a very decent size for $29. Overall the prices were good.

What a spectacular example of making lemonade from lemons! A popular, delicious, and fun seafood restaurant burns to the ground and within weeks it is resurrected across the street in a parking lot with a food truck for a kitchen. The food, service, and atmosphere remain top notch. Congratulations to all. The diners are the lucky ones.
