Just another Anthony's... My partner and I eat here on special occasions. We visited right before the change of ownership and again the other night for our anniversary. The food was expensive and just "okay". When you think of Emory's you think of a fine dining establishment. It is no longer that. We're in our very early forties so not oldies by any means but the loud thumping music of today's hip hop 100 (rather than soft rock or instrumental), the much smaller menu, the brutally slow service, the subpar drinks, the clam shell and balls of flour in what used to be award winning clam chowder (guessing Emory's took their recipe as this is not the same chowder from the past), my partner's overcooked steak, and my very obviously pre-frozen fish and chips (the breading was chewy and the fish itself was gummy instead of flaky) showed us that unfortunately Emory's is now just another Anthony's... We will not be going back for our special occasions anymore - which is a bummer as the restaurant is within walking distance of our home. I will say our server was a champ and did her best but she just could not get anything from the kitchen or bar in a timely manner. Time to find another establishment to make memories. read more

We have tried and tried to like this place, as it's in a gorgeous location with what looks to be an amazing menu, but no matter what we've ordered, it's been severely disappointing! We've gone 3-4 times and ordered different dishes each time to see if we can find something good, but it's just been awful. The fish is consistently overcooked; the last time we got their special brussel sprouts, which were black and burned to an inch of its life (we had to send it back); and the linguine had most of the pasta water in the bowl that didn't drain. Most of the dishes we got had little seasoning, like they were out of salt in the kitchen or the cooks don't have tastebuds or something. Just so disappointing. read more

Terrible. Except holly or server. Clams had so much sand in them we couldn't finish the clams. I ordered a French dip that tasted so salty and the meat was grissly and full of fat. Potstickers are delicious. But the lake house burger was burnt. We can't afford to go out to eat often so this was a huge disappointment. Before the fire the food was too die for. Now it's not good. My husband works for Boeing and has heard terrible things about Emorys from employees from Boeing. But we wanted to try and went on our date night. We were so disappointed. And got stuck with a 88. 00 dollar bill. Sad date night and terrible food. I'm seriously disappointed. I guess my husband will be adding our name to the board of rotten restaurants and Emorys being on of the top. read more

Emory's On Silver Lake - Steakhouses Near Me - Everett, Washington

Came in on a Sunday. Restaurant and bar was more than half full (there was a Seahawks game on), but there was only one server. He did the best he could, but he did miss a few things that we had to flag the busser a few times. We ordered the Calamari Fritti and Crab, Artichoke and Cheese Dip. Their dip is really good - always our favorite. For our entrees, we ordered the Braised Australian Lamb Shank (braised with onions, celery, carrots, garlic and rosemary served with garlic mashed potatoes and veggies) - so tender!I had the Seafood Risotto - holy wow... sautéed prawns, scallops, clams, mussels, salmon, mushrooms and spinach topped with crispy panko, parmesan and cheddar cheese. I love this dish... perfectly cooked risotto. Food never disappoints at Emory's. read more

The pizza is tasty . The cocktails are worth a short. The Christmas ambience is right on. Food is little pricy but It's a great place to go out with family to set some festive mood. read more

So we wanted to go get a steak but come to find out you have to order from the pub menus from 1-4 pm... The food was NOT good... We ordered fish n chips... Poor quality of fish... Steak salad which was okay but not great.... Pot stickers, sliders and clam chowder... The sliders were like hockey pucks.. clam chowder was okay... Bill was REALLY expensive... We will not be returning... This is the third time we have gone there in the last few years.. not going back read more

UPDATE: Went for happy hour and to sit on the deck. Even though the sun was NOT cooperating (forgot my shades) the experience was really good. Food was bomb service was great happy hour menu had a good variety. In retrospect, most reviews are happy hour or relaxed environment. Maybe that's the deal for this place. Which is fine! It's was nice. We will go back read more

Emory's On Silver Lake - I'm sure the sand was because of the shells not being cleaned sufficiently - Steakhouses Near Me - Everett, Washington

Loved this gem! We came to the area to check out silver lake to paddle board and decided to have happy hour here. The patio was so comfortable with a huge fireplace in the covered section. The prices were very reasonable at happy hour and the servings were large. We tried the buffalo cauliflower, garlic cheese bread, and clams. All were great. The service was fabulous and the place was cozy and clean. We plan to come back many times! read more

The food was great but the highlight of the evening was our waitress Lisa. She went above and beyond and made a great night into a fantastic night! Lisa, thank you for being amazin and making all of us smile. read more

Everyone here was incredibly friendly. Nick was our server and I must say he was the nicest server I have had in a long time (if not ever). The food was also delicious, I would highly recommend. read more

Emory's has become our go to for happy hour because of their craft cocktails, delicious food and top notch service. Our experience is made even better when we are able to sit in Melody's section. She has always made us feel welcome and well taken care of, no matter how crazy busy it may be. read more

I was here for the first time on Wednesday with a friend and I had a great experience. I got the 8oz. filet and it was phenomenal. Definitely one of the better steaks I've had. My friend ordered the french onion burger dip and I couldn't stop stealing bites off her plate haha. My server was a young lady named Victoria and she helped make this experience so great. She was so polite and went above and beyond. Very sweet girl. I will definitely be coming back to Emorys and I will be asking to be seated in her section again. read more

We were at Emory's last night for my husband bday. We arrived at 6:30 it was busy but not to bad. It took 2 hour to get done. The service was very marginal,the food was awful. The steak was so tuff, risotto was not eatable,fish was saggy that was breaded, the mashed potatoes were bad as well. There only thing that was decent were the Brussels sprouts. I was with 2 kiddo that eat more bread then food. Due to longer then normal wait time. The food came out not even that warm. It was a big disappointment. read more

Outstanding dinner and SERVICE. We had brussels sprouts and some salads to start. All were amazing. Even the bread with the olive oil dipping bowl was amazing. Our main courses were the top sirloin and the penne and they could not have been better. I recommend this restaurant highly. read more

We have been going to Emory's for 20 years have been real happy until recently when they changed the menu. They did away with the French onion soup but it looks like they now have it back. Thank you! Recently tried a arugala salad that looks real good on the menu but There was barely any ingredients in the salad except for a ton of a arugala. Way too strong in flavor. I understand having some and I love it but it needs more variety of greens and please add to it what it states on the menu not just 1 or 2 of each of the ingredients. read more

Everett can leave you wanting when it comes to quality restaurants with a finer dining feel. Emory's does this pretty well without being pretentious. I appreciated having this location on silver lake to celebrate my husbands birthday. The service was good, as was the food! There wasn't quite that wow factor with the food but overall it was a good experience. read more

My wife had been here before, but I'd only heard about it, and I've always heard good things. We decided to have a day-date and try out the happy hour at Emory's. We were there for a late lunch, so it wasn't very busy when we arrived. We opted to sit out on the deck. The deck is completely covered and the ceiling is practically made of heat lamps. We were thrilled to be completely comfortable outside even in 50 degree weather. We ordered the ahi poke tower, chicken & balsamic lettuce wraps, and fried calamari. It was ALL delicious. The calamari was cooked perfectly, and the flavor infusion of all of the dishes was excellent. The lettuce wrapped chicken was a little difficult to eat cleanly since it was "build it yourself", but it is worth getting sticky fingers over. I'll look forward to going here again, but probably just for happy hour. It looks pretty pricey for regular meals. read more

Enjoyed our dinner very much. First time in a long time. Lamb shank over polenta with brocollini

We had the BEST dinner and service tonight! My husband had the cod dinner for the third time and I had the crab cakes for the first time. Our best dinner ever! Becca ( our server) was the best! Thanks for a great evening! read more

It was a great experience. Right on the water of Silver lake. Great atmosphere and service. Food was delicious, everything sooo tasty. Great dinner for our anniversary. Thank you, Lisa , our server for making our night special. read more

Living by this place we always thought yeah one day we'll eat there. We finally decided to try it out and we couldn't have been happier. We ordered the creamy seafood risotto and wow was it delicious! The only thing that I would say is that it's a bit pricey but for what you get and the view of the lake it was worth it. Especially at night. read more

Some of your best customer service in a restaurant can be found here! Yesterday was our first visit as drop-ins after a visit with the best chiropractor, Dr. Gross. We were greeted with friendly smiles and asked our preference for seating. Water and menus were immediately given to us. As we perused the menu, a very nice waitress came to check on us to explain the menu and asked if we wanted to join the e-dining club. We did! And as a result, we got to order two of their sunset dinners. Fabulous! Three courses ( which you choose from a menu) for $25 per person. The linguine I ordered was not bad. Seafood could've been fresher. The salad was very fresh and large. The cheesecake was comparable to something from Applebee's. Overall, our first visit was pleasant. We shall return! read more

Came here recently for a wedding and it was a beautiful location. The salad was very tasty. They were very accommodating since I am vegetarian they were able to make me a pasta dish with plenty of veggies right away. The cheesecake for dessert was also very delicious. The service was awesome and very attentive and making sure everything was good. Being vegetarian there are just enough options for me to be able to definitely come back. read more

There ended up being some miscommunication when we were re-seated and had to wait a long time to be served. We didn't mind because the restaurant was super packed, but it was getting a bit late. It was for my Birthday dinner and the manager Tori ended up coming over and personally apologizing, as well as giving us our meal on the house and doing her very best to make things right. Outstanding customer service, and our server Katelyn was phenomenal! They were so kind and made my Birthday extra special. The staff, food, and environment there is great, I highly recommend Emory's on Silver Lake. :-) read more

The idea of location sounds romantic and everything, but food sucks. We came because of all the 5 stars ratings. It's a big disappointment. If you think you want to come for a celebration, come and try before the actual occasion, then decide. Food look okay in pictures, but they didn't taste good. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants. Great food, friendly staff. We've here for date nights, and stopped by for lunch and a glass of wine. read more

Executive Chef Peter... Happened to be running through the bar when I asked about a dish (apparently was a special... Not on menu any longer) Chef is currently whipping it up for us in the back! My HERO for the day! Amazing customer service and I will recommend Emory's to all! What a great first meal this trip to Seattle!! A++!!! read more

Emory's On Silver Lake - This was AMAZING!! Thank you Emory's and Chef!!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Everett, Washington

Maybe, my expectation was too high! The quality of the entrees was not meet my expectations at all. our medium steaks were all dried up in the middle of the dinner which means it was overcooked and Rockfish and Scallops has no scallop (maybe it was hidden, but I couldn't find it). The service was great. I was uncomfortable when the actual bill came out with a 20% tip already chosen for me and an unexplained 3% surcharge. It was a good occasion for my family and I didn't ruin the evening by making a scene at the restaurant. Revisit? unlikely Recommendation to my friends - Nope read more

3 stars because the restaurant itself looks beautiful with the water view. I dropped in for happy hour in the bar and ordered the calamari. It had zero flavor other than flour. Fried flour! I was really hungry too so normally that would make it a bit better but no... Maybe it was just what I ordered. read more

The staff addressed this issue. I have since revised my star rating. Great customer help here. The restaurant is great: wonderful view, wonderful wait staff, great food. BUT the valet attendants are terrible. When I pulled in, I did not see the "don't turn right sign", the attendant with a Dr. Who hat was quick to come over to my car treat me like an idiot. Why did you turn right? Didn't you see the sign?! Etc, etc. This "might" have been acceptable if they had been busy, but they weren't, so I don't get his attitude. I spent my whole meal bothered by this person's behaviour, thankfully the staff inside is wonderful and made me remember why I had chosen this restaurant in the first place. read more

The host and waitress were extremely kind. I can honestly say that they were the most professional and nice people we've encountered in a restaurant, in quite some time. The filet mignon was okay...great quality, but not enough flavor. The mashed potatoes seemed to be more "creamy" that potatoey (not a word, lol). My husband enjoyed the clam chowder (it has bacon in it). The entire family enjoyed the chocolate mousse. And finally, THE VIEW was beautiful! Sitting on the lake was very relaxing. read more

Family visited the restaurant last night. A bit rainy but fine. Parking could be better. Very tight spaces but we managed a stall right in front. First time there but were seated right away. We did have reservations which is good idea. Service staff are top drawer. Food also was super. I had the seared Ahi rolled in tempura. Yum! One had the NY steak. Perfect! Others had the Halibut, also the seafood with Risotto which also looked yummy. Great place to hang out and have a drink and super food! Love it!!!!! read more

Great meal at Emory's today! We've eaten here a few times a year - for years. Usually have pretty good service and an enjoyable meal. Today - in the middle of the busy holiday season, they hit it out of the ballpark! The place is well decorated for the holidays, which sets a lovely tone. Our server was very pleasant and did a great job. But the meal - it was perfect. Everyone loved their meal, but my seafood risotto was one of the best I've ever had in a restaurant. At least Four or five types of seafood, lots of mushrooms, creamy and very flavorful, with a little crispy buttered crumbs on top, and cooked to al dente perfection. I know its hard to do a good risotto in a restaurant, but they sure did it right today. Every bite was different and delicious. My only problem was between the salad, warm bread with that wonderful seasoned olive oil, and eating my entire risotto, I didn't leave room for dessert! Ok, next time... read more

We wen there on Monday night that was great not too busy . We got a clam chowder , salad , salmon , pork chop and dessert were cheesecake and chocolate moose . They were soooooo good . Our service is good she was Lynsey ( I think ) she was nice and friendly . We would love to go back and try another dish again ^__^ read more

Happy hour with a view! Excellent service, AMAZING seafood and great prices. I had the clams which were delicious! I will definitely be back! Only downfall is the parking...luckily valet is free! read more

Emory's On Silver Lake - Steakhouses Near Me - Everett, Washington

Had a very nice dinner there last night. The rockfish was wonderful, with a light sauce and sliced almonds. Came with loaded mashed potatoes that were very good! And also seasonal veggies. Everything was cooked perfectly. The two other guests had a surf and turf special with Wagu steak and scallops and those came with the same sides, they both said the dinner was delicious. Desert was just ok, creme brulee had no flavor, needed some vanilla bean and should be served warm. Cheese cake was also pretty blah. Service was very good and hostess was friendly to this time out which was a huge improvement on our last visit. Only downfall was it was very quiet and you could easily visit until happy hour in the bar kicked in to full gear. Then you couldn't even hear the people sitting at your table! Would be nice if a half wall or some sort of sound wall could be put between the bar and restaurant area. I love a good happy hour too and they do have a good one! But not when out for a quiet dinner. It's definitely worth a stop if you haven't been there before. Nice menu for both food and drinks. read more

My husband and I had, had a long week and thought it would be nice to go out and have a nice evening together. We had been to Emory's before and thought we would give them another try, since the last time there we sat in the bar. We didn't want to sit in the bar again, so I called ahead to make a reservation to sit by the window. The person I spoke with said no problem, took my name and the time I would be there. When we arrived, our name wasn't on the list, but the person we spoke with remembered us. There were 5 people at the front desk, 1 of which remembered our call but they said we didn't have a reservation and it would be 10 to 15 minutes for a table or we could sit outside under a heater. I'm not a heater person, so we decided to wait. To say the least, I was not happy but we decided to stay, that's where we made our first mistake. We did get seated by the window and was faster than we thought, ok we may be turning a corner to a nice evening. We ordered drinks, since I like sparkling wine I asked for a gentle pour so there would be bubbles when it arrived at our table. The drinks arrived and of course there were no bubbles in the glass, it was flat like a chardonnay. We asked for another glass, the server came back and said they were out of all sparkling wine unless we wanted to order a full bottle. Ok, never mind I'll take a lemon drop martini. Now remember my husband's drink is sitting there, getting warm while waiting for my drink to arrive (we always drink together). We have an appetizer, no drink, oh looks what's coming to our table, our dinner and no drink. Now it's time to ask for a manager. Mark comes to our table, says he'll look into where my drink is and explains, he can't keep the same staff, ouch for all of us. We're part way through our dinner and my drink finally arrives. Food is just ok, nothing great and we didn't finish our meals, just not that great. Mark has said he'll take care of everything, indicating our dinner would be taken care of. Our server in all of this mess, pretty much stays away from our table, which is a poor choice on her side. Now dinners over and it's time to leave, so what shows up a bill, which included everything but the drinks. It wasn't worth arguing about, just get us out of here and don't come back. Hey Mark, you need to have a group meeting and figure out what's not working for our restaurant. read more

Melody provided the best dining experience we have ever had. She knew when to ask how we were doing with the right amount of humor and attention to detail. She even let us know that the bar service was a bit behind at the moment and there would be a bit of a delay before she could get us our drinks. Her professionalism and dedication to her craft truly made for a wonderful evening, which happened to be our 4th wedding anniversary. Thank you Melody, for such an amazing experience. read more

One of my favorite places to do brunch on the weekends. We always make reservations since the restaurant can be extremely crowded. I like their brunch menu a lot. The choices from the food and drink menus are good and the prices are reasonable for brunch. I have not tried their lunch or dinner service but I hear it is really good too. If you are lucky you can enjoy your meal with a fantastic view of the lake and people watch as they stroll by along the walkway. Good views and a cozy atmosphere are enough to recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food at a reasonable price. read more

Went here for the first time for my birthday recently. The locale was the main draw initially, and that didn't disappoint. It was lovely right on the lake. The food was great too. However, the biggest pleasure was the service. A+ all around. My boyfriend let slip the birthday news right off the bat, completely incidentally/unintentionally, because we were both surprised when the hostess visited our table with a camera offering to take and print a picture of us. A little while later I took a pic of my glorious tiki cocktail with the lake as background, and uploaded it to Facebook, tagging the restaurant as my location. Next thing I know, "Emory's" is liking my post and wishing me a happy birthday in the comments! How cute is that? Last but not least, our server Josh put a candle in my chocolate mousse (AMAZING) and surprised me with that, as well. Freaking adorable. I will be back. read more
