Owner and local shell fisherman Perry Raso's Matunuck Oyster Bar features an incredible local-friendly atmosphere. The restaurant is open year-round and has outdoor seating overlooking Potter's Pond during the warmer months.
Though the restaurant serves a variety of customers, there is no dress code and the atmosphere is casual. The restaurant does not accept reservations so come early and plan on staying awhile in their cocktail area. The restaurant sports a full bar to complement their food and raw bar selections.
