An Iconic New England Oyster Bar Suffers Devastating Fire
A fire broke out at iconic New England destination Matunuck Oyster Bar in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, early on Tuesday, May 20, and caused massive damage to the award-winning restaurant. No injuries were reported, but the restaurant is closed and likely a total loss, according to NBC 10. The Providence Journal reports that a large amount of fire was coming from the two-and-a-half-story building when firefighters responded to calls before 3 a.m. Initially fueled by strong winds, the fire was under control in about an hour and a half, firefighters told the Journal . The cause of the devastating fire is unknown at this time. Owner Perry Rase said in a statement to local media that he is thankful for local support and is determined to get back to business soon. 'We are humbled and grateful for what Matunuck Oyster Bar represents to so many people,' Raso said. 'While we are heartbroken that our doors will be temporarily closed, we are committed to opening them back up and welcoming guests back to our tables as soon as possible.' A GoFundMe has been established to help employees bridge the gap while the restaurant is closed and to help with rebuilding. In April, USA Today named Matunuck Oyster Bar to its 25 Best Restaurants of 2025 list, writing that the restaurant, sitting on Potter Pond, offered the chance to watch oysters being harvested and shucked while dining. That experience of a seafood restaurant overlooking where much of what's on the tables is harvested is part of what makes Matunuck Oyster Bar so special. Kate Masury, executive director of the New England-based nonprofit Eating With the Ecosystem, tells Eater that the oyster bar epitomizes what it means to serve seafood straight from the source. 'They don't just use local ingredients, they celebrate them,' says Masury. 'From clams, oysters, and lobsters to Jonah crab, bay scallops, and Black Sea bass, the menu reflects the incredible diversity of our local waters.' Matunuck's specials often highlight underutilized species, such as monkfish, which helps to introduce hungry diners to new flavors and supports local harvesters. Raso has been a longtime advocate for sustainable aquaculture in New England, and the restaurant was built with pond-to-plate as its backbone. In 2002, Raso founded Matunuck Oyster Farm, a wading-depth aquaculture farm, and by 2008, the oyster farm was selling oysters across the country. He then purchased an old restaurant located on the pond, says David Dadekian of the culinary media group Eat Drink Rhode Island. At the time, there weren't a lot of people farming oysters in New England, according to Dadekian, and Raso had made a big splash with the farm. 'Perry figured the place would be seasonal – a little spot to sell some seafood – and he never saw himself running a restaurant,' Dadekian says. However, the restaurant was a hit and has become a dining destination for hundreds of thousands of people year-round. The New York Times named the restaurant's littlenecks and chouriço dish as one of the best meals tasted in the country in 2023, and it won numerous Wine Spectator awards over the years. Reservations are a must, even on Christmas Eve (an annual tradition for many, this writer included). Matunuck has many fans among Boston chefs, including Bistro du Midi and the Banks Seafood and Steak executive chef Robert Sisca. 'The Matunuck Oyster Bar was somewhere I went about three or four times a year,' Sisca tells Eater. 'I met my friend, who is a chef in Connecticut, there, and it was our halfway point. We love it there because it has the best quality and best value for a seafood restaurant. It is a really special place.' The restaurant also serves organic vegetables from its farm near the pond, has recently opened a shellfish hatchery, and offers educational, family-friendly oyster farm tours. While this summer won't be quite the same without Matunuck Oyster Bar, fans are eagerly awaiting its return. 'Knowing Perry's tenacity, resourcefulness, and business acumen, I would expect to dine at MOB again one day,' Dadekian says. 'Is there a shellfish equivalent to a phoenix?'
