Emc Seafood Raw - Oxnard

Made a reservation online for a special occasion and confirmed the reservation with “Mel.” Online confirmed EMC was open till 11. We were on time for our 8:45 reservation only to find the restaurant “closing early” at the direction of the bar manager. The owner of this EMC franchise should wonder why his staff is closing his restaurant early, when the rest of the mall is open late, packed with hungry patrons. Am enclosing a picture of the online EMC hours showing open till 11 on thursdays. No one at EMC even bothered to apologize, blaming it on a former Manager. One employee claimed she called 2x and left messages the restraturant was closing early which is false. No messages received from EMC. Skip this dump and go to a real restaurant that cares about its patrons, putting service before the whims of its staff.

Service was slow. Food was OK but for the price I expected more.

I've been with emc for 5 years since they opened up, and I can say that I'm happy every time.

Clean fun atmosphere. Staff was friendly helpful. I enjoyed my cocktail, tasty food, but they are way overpriced.

While the service was friendly, it was lacking in attention and speed. One of our four meals arrived about 10 minutes before the rest of our table was served, which was a bit frustrating. Additionally, our drinks were not refilled in a timely manner. As for the food, it was simply average.
