Five and a half weeks after a fire ravaged the Matunuck Oyster Bar, the popular South Kingstown restaurant reopened Monday thanks to a revision of Rhode Island’s outdoor dining law.
Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee signed legislation Monday morning at a ceremony in South Kingstown amending the state’s outdoor dining law, allowing the Matunuck Oyster Bar to offer outdoor dining this summer after a May 20 fire shut down the restaurant.
