Came on a Monday evening and had a nice meal at the bar. They have happy hour Monday through Thursday from 11:30 to close. Chef's choice oysters were $2 and did not disappoint. It had been awhile since I've had a properly cleaned oyster, so thank you for that 🙏 We tried the soft-shell crab sliders (crispy and flavorful), crab fried rice (the egg in it was seasoned - the rice needed a little something but it was good) and we had the tuna sashimi (so good!). I also ordered the Electric Verde cocktail, which had a subtle spice and smokiness. The bartender was friendly and service was quick. The place was clean, considering there is only outdoor seating. Parking was a bit rough if you're just going for food, so I'd recommend walking around for a little window shopping as well. Overall, a nice place to go for drinks and fish. We will be returning for oysters and to try the other dishes 😁

This place was great!! Went here for a late dinner with drinks. Everything we had was amazing! Between the salmon carpaccio and the albacore sashimi, I'm not sure which one was my favorite. The oysters were great too and came with a lemony cilantro sauce that was amazing! The brussel sprouts were super crispy and melt in your mouth. For cocktails I really liked one called The Gentlemen - I mean, how can you go wrong with gentleman jack?? The restaurant is mostly outdoors but there is a portion that is indoors as well. They do have heaters but on a cold night be sure to bundle up! The bartender told us this place gets packed when the weather warms up so be prepared for a wait. Overall I really enjoyed this place and would definitely come back again!!

Love this place! Fish and Asian fusion make for fantastic food. I always get the boonie pasta which has bits of uni in it. It ends up tasting almost like fish macaroni and cheese. And then I always get the jalapeno garlic chicken wings which are pretty delicious as well. My wife always gets the oysters and the oyster shooter. Delicious food and outdoors to boot. You will not be disappointed here.

Went to this place on a Friday in Lent. We sat outside on a slightly cold evening but there were burners out to keep us warm. There is a wide selection of alcohol here. The fried lobster here is very different. It was a little weird to deshell a breaded lobster but I really enjoyed the dish, it was tasty and had a great combinations of tastes and textures.

Had an an amazing time here still giving 5 stars even though they change for bread. Food was great. Pro tip you can get more seafood by ordering off individual items rather than paying for the seafood tower

One of the best seafood places for me. i drive 40 minutes just to get my favorite Uni pasta and oysters with seared salmon sashimi! It is worth it! Great place and atmosphere!

Some of the best oysters I've had in the neighboring area! Place was a little under staffed, but Amy got everything out in a decent time and it was all fresh. Downed a dozen of those buggers in no time. Great Happy Hour specials. Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a chill spot outside. Will return.

Oysters , Glass of wine, crab sliders, fish tacos ( not pictured)..you cannot go wrong with happy hour here . Oysters are always fresh and food is always well made.

Fresh oysters - delicious Uni pasta - so rich, uni infused sauce topped with uni. Garlic shrimp pasta - garlicky with tons of shrimp I mean, if you love seafood, what more can you ask for? Awesome knowledgeable staff, I would suggest sitting at the bar. This is a place you want to come back and try everything on their menu.

Had a lovely meal with celiac dining restrictions great and thoughtful service! Yellowtail collar was 10/10, and our server brought alternative sauces to be sure we had a safe meal

Very nice casual yet high end menu of seafood. Price of cocktails were a little high. Food was absolutely great. Very happy. Will go again.

Overall the experience was good, we have a good server tonight. She was very friendly and helpful also came by asking us how's the food. The chicken wings were delicious and the environment were good too.

Had a good first experience at EMC. It is not a traditional restaurant as it is mostly tables on the patio and a bar section. Cool vibe but not a quite sit down place if that's what you're looking for. Wife and I went for dinner and the food was great. Oysters were fresh and tasty, the ceviche was good, albacore sashimi was delicious and the clams (and noodle broth) were awesome. Our waitress "V" was really nice and made great suggestions. I think they may have been a bit short staffed when we went as V was covering a lot of tables and even seemed to be behind the bar a few times. A good experience nonetheless and we would definitely go back.

Cheap wine and great oysters makes for a perfect combination. Out of all of the generic and boring chains in the Village, this place is a hidden gem. Service is always attentive and polite, and the bar is a lot of fun and unpretentious. I recommend the uni pasta and any of the oysters. Updating my review. Service and food seem to be going downhill here. Came here on a Wednesday and was served 3 bad oysters out of 6. Service was really slow as well despite not being busy. This is the second visit in a row where the oysters weren't fresh. Crossing this place off my list unfortunately.

Nice location, good food. Took some time to get service, but once we had a waiter, all was good.

We ordered half a dozen of the fat bastards oystets, uni pasta and lobster roll (not shown). Service was pretty slow but when our food came, we basically inhaled everything in sight. The oysters came first pretty darn good. Then the uni pasta came next so creamy and tasty. Last but not least, the lobster roll, the bun was so buttery and flaky with fresh lobster pieces, so bomb. We dipped the lobster roll in the left over uni pasta sauce which made it even better than it already was. Finish the meal with warm sake and beer. Great meal, a bit pricey, totally worth it tho.

Cajun oysters were fine. Shrimp noodles were also just fine—a little over cooked but the portion was generous. Just not awesome, considering the price. Possibly an off night for the kitchen? Also, just FYI, it's entirely outdoor seating, and still fairly chilly despite the heat lamp.

Less of an Uni "Pasta" and more of a Soup. Extremely sauce heavy to the point that I didn't finish it. On top of that the dish felt like it was missing an element as far as texture. The noodles themselves were decent, otherwise it would be 1 star.

The seafood pasta was just not good at all. It tasted like they used a canned tomato sauce and added nothing else. I couldn’t finish it, I had to put it in the trash. Wasted my money with that one!
