    Old Fashioned Berry Shortcake
    Chris R.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We stopped in on a quiet Thursday night, thinking they wouldn't be very busy... Boy were we wrong![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We asked for a table outside, the wait wasn't long at all surprisingly. Shortly after being seated, Rio showed up with water and asked if we had any questions about the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you haven't had dinner on "The Deck" on a beautiful Pacific Northwest evening, then you are missing out![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Rio thoughtfully offered to bring us bread while we wait for the Calamari. Calamari that was done very well! Lightly breaded, perfectly seasoned. The dipping sauces were tasty too! I want to apologize in advance for not taking pictures of our entrees, but they looked sooo f'n good we just started murdering them! My Queens steak was a perfect medium rare, and my seafood fettuccine was loaded with deliciousness. We both made sure to leave some room for dessert, which was also done very well. We enjoyed the berry sorbet and the old fashioned berry shortcake. Both were absolutely amazing! Between the stunning view, the great service from Rio and the passionately prepared dishes the talented kitchen was preparing, tonight was an experience worth returning for, Thank you Emory's

    Made an online reservation and waited about 7 minutes to be seated. We ordered two appetizers, soup, and a salad. The spicy buffalo cauliflower was overcooked and overly sauced, and the calamari was mostly small pieces rather than the larger rings I expected. The salad was good, though I didn't expect raw mushrooms. I had planned to order a cocktail with Empress gin from the online menu, but it was no longer available in the restaurant. The cocktail I ordered instead was a bit too sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really liked the atmosphere, but the food was the part I was least satisfied with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Margherita Pizza

    My first visit to Emory's left something to be desired. My boyfriend and I decided to stop in for their happy hour, which has a decently sized food and drink menu with reasonable prices. I started with a peach hard lemonade, which was sweet and tangy with an $8.50 price tag. The food, on the other hand, was just alright. Our Woodstone pizzas were tasty, but the crust was underwhelming. This is a seafood restaurant, so the pizza isn't their priority. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We dined on the patio, which was pretty toasty on a 70° day. The shades were closed, so we missed out on the lake views[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, we had a decent visit, and enjoyed the atmosphere, but won't be rushing back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Cheesecake with strawberries

    Food was spectacular. I had a Shrimp Louie salad. I ate everything in this fresh salad, it had eggs, avocados, tomatoes, radishes, olives, orange peppers, tons of delicious shrimp in a very tasty thousand island dressing. Great warm bread with whipped butter. Hubby had steak n shrimp with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Cooked to order and perfect. Laura our beautiful wait staff was terrific. We had for dessert the strawberry cheesecake with strawberries and crème brûlée topping. What a taste sensation!! Go! I wish we had a place like this near where we live. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Then we took a walk around the lake behind the restaurant. Full of ducks and fishermen hanging around. Silver Lake is just breathtaking![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Emory's was the choice for tonight's birthday dinner! July 14th sun shining, water still, a few people out on paddle boards, and life as we know it happening! We had an amazing dinner with not one disappointed face. We started with Calamari Fritti and Steamed Clams. The calamari was crispy, with small rings and a really good dipping sauce. The boyfriend and daughter pretty much devoured the clams--they were sitting in the most flavorful lemon-butter sauce, which they both practically wanted to drink. Drinks: Ginger ale and Jameson Berry Berry Drop (beyond delicious) Shirley Temple My daughter had the Garlic Cheese French Dip. It was her first time trying a French dip and she said it was tasty and she enjoyed it. My boyfriend ordered the Creamy Seafood Risotto. Nothing but positive things came out of his mouth with every single bite! He even had enough to take home for lunch tomorrow. I did the 3 for $33 option: Caesar Salad - easily the most delicious and flavorful Caesar I've had in a long time. Plenty of cheese and dressing. Double R Ranch Top Sirloin with mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies - ordered medium well and it came out perfect. Flavorful, well-seasoned, and you could cut it like butter. The mashed potatoes were fluffy and seasoned just right. The veggie was peas not my cup of tea, but they looked fresh and my daughter liked them! Dessert: Orange Crème Brûlée. My boyfriend and daughter shared it and loved it! We'll definitely be back for more tasty food!

We sat in the lounge as it was on the tail-end of happy hour. Their $10 cocktails were a great way to start our evening. We started with their homemade Parker House rolls, which were insane. These were probably the best rolls I've ever had. The truffle butter was the icing on this bready cake. I'd come back just for these. We also had the truffle fries which were good as well. After some recommendations from our server, we decided on the associates board and the glazed carrot (we definitely felt like we needed a veggie dish). The associates board came with three cuts of steak, which included the filet, a wagyu tri-tip and a wagyu denver. The filet was the standout here, as well as the beef tallow butter it was served with. The other cuts were good, but didn't wow us. We ordered the steak medium rare, but it was more on the rare side. The steak was so tender that it really didn't matter at the end of the day. Overall, we had a great experience here. I think for the price, I was maybe expecting a little more, but I would definitely recommend checking out Rare Society for your next celebratory dinner.

This is where you get the super-nice meat and fish that supermarkets and big-box stores don't have. And their house-made fish dips are amazing. In long It's a little strip mall by the Speedway that would be kinda sleepy except for the drive-through coffee line constantly forming around the whole building. E&O have the end unit. You walk in to a shelf full of solid-value wines, mostly local, aimed to pair with whatever you might take home with you to cook. The ceilings are high, and the walls and floors are all spotless white. No decorations, very little merchandising, if any. There's a long butcher case on the left full of all kinds of crazy treats. Prawns the size of bratwursts. Steaks, roasts, different fish. They skip most of the stuff that supermarkets carry and focus only on more-specialty stuff. Their stock is either a nicer version or it's something that's unavailable elsewhere. You do pay for quality like this on some of the stuff, but if you're cooking a meal you're really looking forward to, the value makes it reasonable. Not everything is expensive, either. They had fresh lemons on the case for 40% less than the supermarket up the street. They had reds, whites, bubblies, and pinks in the wine section with every bottle under $20. And those fish dips, man. I'm surprised they don't sell out by afternoon every day. We had wild salmon and black cod dips before dinner last night, and both were fantastic. They're very well balanced, so maybe you could add hot sauce or fresh herbs to taste, but we've had them several times and never felt compelled to tune them up. The dudes behind the butcher case have decades of industry experience, and they couldn't be nicer, more patient, or more helpful. I love shopping here.

It packed a serious flavor punch and somehow made eating broccoli feel like an indulgence. Next came the spaghetti, and wow. The sauce was rich, velvety, and the kind that makes you question every jarred pasta sauce you've ever bought. The sweetness from the tomatoes and basil played perfectly with the salty cheese, creating a balance that had me strategically planning each bite to make it last longer. The bucatini was equally impressive. The cured egg added a wonderful richness and tied everything together beautifully. My only tiny critique is that I would have welcomed a few more chili flakes for an extra kick, but that's less a complaint and more me looking for excuses to order it again. For dessert, we had the dark chocolate panna cotta topped with peach and pistachio, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The chocolate was rich without being overwhelming, while the peach and pistachio kept everything balanced and bright. The only thing I might add is a sprinkle of flaky sea salt to really make those flavors sing. Beyond the food, the service was excellent, the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, and the entire experience felt effortlessly enjoyable.Overall: Great food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to linger just a little longer. If you're in the area, don't miss this local gem. I'll definitely be back, probably still thinking about that spaghetti on the drive over.

Back to my crushed dreams of a patio-lunch-in-the-sun... a party of 4 was seated at the large picnic table (1 body more than us, and both parties couldve split the table its that spacious), AND they pulled a table from the other side of the patio and put it in the sunny spot we asked to sit in towards the end of our time there. As a service industry person myself, I wouldnt be so quick to offer an inside table instead of being minutely inconvenienced (we offered to move the table ourselves as well to be helpful), with a couple of 2-tops outside and 2 inside - they were not busy.

It was served on a bed of rice with lots of veggies, sautéed nicely! Dinner was excellent and everyone in our party agreed their food was delicious. Atmosphere: Right on the water, can't get better than that! Nice views, it's got a cabin-y feeling inside. Rustic but without the smell of BEING rustic (you know what I'm talking about?). It's fancy enough for an intimate date, but not so much that it breaks the bank. Price: It is a little on the pricy side, but it depends on what you get. Steak, fish of the day, etc... it'll be more expensive. But you could get away with a 20$ plate. A decent meal will run you 40-50$ per person and then add in drinks. Do the math. Service: Our waiter was cool... he was the owner? Or co-owner? I don't remember what he said, but totally chill and gave us good recommendations. Overall: If I was going alone, I probably wouldn't come here, but with a group or a date it's a great place. A little on the pricy side, but... I always say, if it's worth it, I'll pay the price. I would come back if in the area!
