Nice outdoor patio for waterside eating. Indoors at the Emmerson is kinda like an upscale country mall. Good for gifts. They have an open mic on Tuesdays still and the food is excellent, but honestly I miss it when they held the open mics at the other structure called the Catamont. Now the Catamont is only rented for events. Still worth the trip though.
