Gift Horse Oyster Bar
Gift Horse
An oyster bar run by the Oberlin team that serves only Rhode Island oysters, with Korean-inspired dishes and a quirky, fun atmosphere.
Opened by a team led by Oberlin chef Benjamin Sukle on Westminster Street downtown, Gift Horse sources its oysters exclusively from Rhode Island's growing areas. The Slack Tide seafood tower includes littleneck clams, mussels, smoked fish sauce with seaweed crisps, sashimi, and oysters with kimchi vinegar sauce, and The Infatuation lists it as a must-order. Other dishes include caviar on fried dough, seafood bap, and seafood pancakes. The cocktails focus on lower-alcohol drinks and classic variations. The bar area can get crowded, and oyster happy hour begins at 4:00 PM. The average spend per person is about $50–80.
