Decent place to go in the north Mill Creek area. My wife and I have been here a handful of times; generally the service is pretty decent and the food is okay. Specifics of the food I've tried Ahi Poke Tower- unbelievably good- get it! Sliders-mediocre, skip it Crab cakes- I don't personally care for deep fried crab cakes, if you don't mind that then they may be okay Pizza- I didn't like the pizza, the dough was overly hard and crunchy and lacked any kind of depth or chewy-ness Burgers- decent, they can actually cook a medium rare burger here. I had one that was amazing and then another where it was cooked perfectly but the bun was hard from a heat lamp and the sweet potato fries were soggy Lettuce wraps- okay...they have rice noodles which is different and not really my thing Crab dip-meh, not awesome, heavy on mayo flavor and not a stand out Drinks are actually pretty good although I don't like that they are using Burnetts for drinks they are charging $7-$9 for. That price point demands at least Smirnoff, Kuhl or Svedka. They have great beer selection of about 25 handles. Killer deck and view too! read more

A beautiful dinner. They are a bit heavy on the garlic or would have been 5 stars. Very nice setting and atmosphere. Service was on point. We were here on a rainy Tuesday evening. The seafood risotto was amazing but once again a little heavy on garlic after starting with the fabulous bread with a garlic herb dipping oil. The wine selection was extensive and good. We will be back read more

Emory's On Silver Lake - best day at Emorys - Steakhouses Near Me - Everett, Washington

Jessica, the bar manager I believe, was absolutely amazing! When we arrived she was solo bar tending but she didn't act like it, she was incredibly attentive and had amazing suggestions! Her drink making skills are unmatched in my book and took the cake for the highlight of our night. Not to mention watching her work was incredible, she never skipped a beat with starting a new order or helping out her colleagues when they needed her. Absolutely recommend anything she would would!! We will be back solely for her drinks and wonderful conversation read more

The staff and food is perfect every time. Yes it is a bit pricey but you are in the PNW where the fish and other meat is the freshest. I order the clams every time and they do not disappoint. The back deck is perfect and the staff makes you feel like part of their family. read more

My husband and I live near-ish by, and we are also building a home in the Silver Lake area, but had never been to Emory's - oh the shame! This past Friday, we decided to finally hit them up for Happy Hour. We arrived around 5pm, and as I am sure is normal during the summer here, their parking lot was PACKED. We drove past their complimentary valet to park our own vehicle, and got lucky with a spot right out front of the restaurant. When we entered Emory's, the restaurant didn't look nearly as busy as the parking lot would indicate, but due to the gorgeous weather the patio WAS packed. We (shockingly) had no problem getting a patio table closest to Silver Lake. The hostess seated us with menus and immediately brought us water, which was genuinely appreciated. Our server, Chris, came to greet us soon after to take our drink orders. We decided to stick to the happy hour menu each ordering a well drink. We ended up having two (whiskey & 7up), because at $4.50, the drinks were strong and excellent! We pondered the menu and I decided to have the chicken potstickers and fried green beans. My hubby, who was in the middle of some dental work, opted to start with a bowl of their chowder. The appies came within about 15-20 minutes, which allowed us just enough time to sip and enjoy our cocktails and keenly anticipate our food. The potstickers, which I can only assume to be commercially made, were good. There were 6-8 of them on a plate, garnished with baby greens and a sweet-and-tangy sesame-flecked sauce. The green beans were served in a cute "deep fryer" basket with a side of spicy mayo. Both appies were surprisingly satisfying, but the potstickers were definitely the better deal. My husband enjoyed his bowl of chowder, which at $5.50 was a very good price. It was chock-full of seafood and had a unique tang to it - do they use buttermilk? I'm not sure, but it was good. Chris was kind enough to remind us of "last call" for Happy Hour, so we ordered 1 more drink each and a final appy of calamari. Unfortunately, the calamari didn't excite either of us as much as our original starters. While there was a plentiful supply of the calamari, it was swimming in oil. The batter was not sticking to the calamari, and it was leaning toward the chewy side of things. We didn't complain simply because we wouldn't have wanted a replacement anyways. That said, I am going to dock 1 star from this review because the calamari just wasn't up to snuff. When we were ready for our tab, Chris was prompt to process the transaction - and also gave us an Emory's card ($25 GC for every $250 spent) to get points on for each visit we have. Would I be back? Definitely. I would come early like we did this past Friday, and probably avoid the calamari. read more

My husband and I only had drinks in the bar at Emory's, so my review is based solely on this limited experience. We arrived at about 8:30 on a Friday night, and there were a few high-top tables open in the bar area and several seats at the bar available as well. A band started playing music shortly after we arrived; at times it was too loud to converse at a typical level, but it was pleasant most of the time and added a nice ambience. Service was attentive and the prices for wine and beer seemed comparable to other establishments. The beer glasses appeared slightly smaller than standard, however. We contemplated getting an appetizer, but since we were there outside of happy hour, the prices seemed expensive and not worth it to us. I can't help but note that their calzones are possessive on the menu ("calzone's")... apostrophe abuse makes me a sad panda. Overall, we had a nice time. I would like to return to try out the food, either in the bar during happy hour or for a full meal. Hopefully in summer to take advantage of the patio and lake-front location. read more

Cool-looking place with a nice view of the lake. The atmosphere is somewhat tainted by lite jazz, however. Also, our waitress had the demeanor of a shy 14-year old who is forced to be nice to the relatives. Three of our party of five, including me, had the filet mignon, cooked medium. All three steaks were slightly undercooked. Also, they place the meat on a crostini, which is soggy by bite two. The demi-glace tasted fine, but actually could have been teriyaki sauce. The baked potato was perfectly-cooked, but instead of leaving the sour cream, bacon bits, and chives at the table, the waitress awkwardly garnishes your tater for you. So get it right. The plate also includes asparagus and broccolini, which was the best part of the ensemble. By the way, the 14-year old never came back to check on how the steaks were cooked. Grandpa had the crab cakes (with shredded coconut) and said they were good. Kid had a plain burger, and said the same. Lots of fries. Add to that one glass of wine and a cup of coffee (we were water drinkers on a hot day), and it came to $106 before tip. read more

We had the halibut and salmon entrees from the gf menu. Both were cooked perfectly! I have celiac so, to find a restaurant that offers a gluten free menu can be a challenge. It's an even bigger issue finding one that's delicious! Emory's does both! read more

Emory's is great for trivia nights. The wine and beer lists are extensive and something for everyone. My current fave is Guardian Cellars' Newsprint Cab Franc...bottle is a much better value compared to per glass price ;) I've been several times in recent months specifically for trivia and it's always surprising they don't start Happy Hour at 8 when trivia starts (despite advertising specials during Trivia). I've been with different groups of people and we've all asked knowing other restaurants often shift this to coincide with their events. The servers are all firm but friendly about it each visit but are always promptly at the tables at 830 to get orders. I did notice too that some things you might as well just order at the regular price to get it sooner if only saving a couple bucks max. Minor critique though as we really do enjoy Emory's and the location is awesome. If you like chicken wings and all the acommpaniments try the Buffalo Chicken pizza as it will satisfy that craving in a less messy manner. I lucked out last night that one was made in error and it coincides with my awesome server putting in my order...fastest turn around from ordering to receiving! This is a solid place for date night or a girls' night as it is sure to please. read more

Emory's On Silver Lake - The bottle speaks for itself and Buffalo Chicken pizza in the foreground! - Steakhouses Near Me - Everett, Washington

This is a great restaurant for Silverlake/Everett. I'm sort of surprised by the three stars. There really isn't a classy restaurant in this part of town, unless you go to Mill Creek. To me, Mill Creek is a class of it's own. I never dined here prior to the fire, but I am thinking they really took advantage of their situation and made the new restaurant fantastic. It's lodgy theme is great but not too cheesey. Just little touches. The colors are warm and seating is great. They were moving a Piano into the bar area when we dined here. I treated my little cousin for lunch and the sandwiches were very good. Service was excellent. Our table was bussed promptly and drinks were always full. I will absolutely be returning here, I look forward to a dinner to see what it looks like at night time and hopefully enjoy in a bit of live music. read more

We have been here twice now and I have to say, I'm a fan and we'll be back again and again. Everything has been great! The service is good, we are always seated quickly, treated well, and given great recommendations. The views and the atmosphere are unbeatable in the area. Pricing is amazingly fair. Parking is easy with or without the free valet service on the weekend (or at least there was one Friday we came in). Eat the tenderloin of beef bourguignon or the creamy seafood risotto. Yum. The reason I'm at 4 stars instead of 5 is that they need to do a little work on their burgers. Burgers can be soooooo good - don't settle for okay! read more

We came here for a double date and it was nothing short of delicious. I had the parmesan crusted cod with asparagus and I loved it. Everyone we were with loved their dishes as well. There was quite a wait in the dining area but the bar area is where we ended up. read more

Used complimentary valet parking...it was really crowded. Nice fireplace in the wait area. On this night, there was live music. The band sounded fine. We were seated away from the band which was really nice and we didn't even have to make this a request..it was automatic. Ordered the steamed clams and asian lettuce wraps. The clams were meh...not enough garlic. The Asian lettuce wraps were really tasty. It would be better if the served lettuce was not ripped when having to use them as wraps. Ordered the hot seafood salad for $19 and the coho salmon for $26. The hot seafood was great...there was a lot of salmon and white fish meat...it skimped on the calamari and scallops...very tiny and looked shredded. The taste of the salad though was wonderful. There were clams, 2 prawns, and mussels along with the fish. The coho salmon was served on a bed of risotto. It was good. The salmon was very tasty and nicely portioned. For dessert, we shared the mud pie. The dessert was delicous. There was this nice layer of chocolate ganache. The part I really feel bad on is the valet parking. I was not expecting to use any valet parking. However, this place was packed!! And at 8:30pm on a Friday! The valets flagged us down and parked our car for us when there was no apparent spots available. After dinner, we realized we had no cash on hand for tip...Ashamedly we joked about it...however!! When we exited the restaurant, the valets took our ticket and went to get the car...the poor guys were RUNNING!! down the block where they parked the car...Literally, after we got our vehicle and pulled out and turned down the street, a valet was running behind our car, down the block, to get another vehicle. GAWD!! I felt so bad!! Next time, we double down for you guys!! read more

Super cool place with a great view, cool bar, and awesome patio. Food is hit or miss though. Garlic cheese bread was phenomenal. Crab cakes were good. Scallops were bad - real bad. Overall - the atmosphere is awesome and the place is super nice inside and out. I definitely plan to return. read more

When I wrote my bad review, I immediately received a response from Emory (the owner). He apologized and offered to send a gift card so I can give Emory's another try. I took him up on the offer and had a much better experience! Chris, our waiter, was great! He was prompt, friendly, and attentive! The drinks were stiff, just how I like them. The nachos and the tempura buffalo chicken strips were a hit! I'm definitely a fan (again) and might even have to hit up Trivia there tonight! :) read more

Came here on Christmas Eve. Will definitely come back! Great service, very attentive and amazing food and drinks!

This is a wonderful place for Brunch. It over looks Silver Lake. It's a cozy environment, good music in the background. Carina is an amazing server! The food was absolutely delicious! I'll be back often. Highly recommended. read more

Great views and service! Holly was an amazing waitress. Great attitude and got everything right. She was patient when we changed our mind when ordering and was very knowledgeable with the food and drinks. A+! read more

I've been dying to try Emory's since I moved to WA. My bf and I drive by it all the time on our way to Costco/Winco hehe. We dropped by around 630pm on a Tuesday night - the place was pretty empty. The hostess asked if we wanted indoor or patio seating and if it wasn't so windy that day I totally would have done outdoor patio! The restaurant itself is really cute and large. The food wasn't amazing and pretty expensive for the Everett area :(. Bf had the french dip and we thought it was alright, $16 for maybe 10 inches of a sandwich and fries. I liked the au jus sauce though. I had the capellini with prawns and scallops ($25) which was alright. I had 4 prawns total in the pasta and, although they were large, I wish there was a few more. I didn't really care for the scallops in my dish. Overall I liked Emory's and but would come back for happy hour only. read more

Went for dinner with a friend, Micah was our server and was fantastic! We had reservations at 5, arrived a little early to grab a table outside on the deck, and were seated almost immediately. Micah shared some great options for appetizers and dinner, loved the spicy cauliflower... Looking forward to a future visit. read more

I had made a reservation for 5:15 yesterday (Wednesday). I arrived early - there was plenty of parking and I was seated outside immediately. Staff was pleasant and attentive- my appetizer arrived very quickly and I would highly recommend the spicy cauliflower! Micah was my server- he accurately described the items on the menu and guided us to delicious selections. Micah was personable and clear, and was wearing his mask appropriately over his mouth and nose!! Micah made me feel like I was his only customer. I had some reservations about Emory's given the recent reviews, and I realize my experience may be dependent on the time and day I visited, but I was very happy with my experience. Thank you, Micah- you made this visit a great one!! read more

I visit for the trivia and happy hour here. The reason they are missing a star is because they advertise "happy hour during trivia" however they make you wait an additional 30 minutes beyond the start of trivia (8pm) until happy hour starts (8:30). This wouldn't be the biggest deal except that we would love to order appetizers to snack on during trivia with our drinks, but waiting the extra 30minutes pushes the food out to past 9. I would love it if they would align their events to make it a little more convenient for those of us specifically here for trivia + happy hour. Otherwise, the service is great and the food and beverages are mostly great (except the Greek pizza has such dry chicken last time it was practically inedible). Try the crab dip and the buffalo pizza - those are delicious! read more

This place is amazing. The seafood risotto is absolutely delicious! I come here for all my birthdays and my family's birthdays, we all love it here and will continue recommending this restaurant to all our friends. Great service! read more

We had dinner at Emory's last night and it was excellent, as usual. The chefs' side dish of choice was butternut squash risotto and let me tell you...it was delectable! I have had Emeril Lagasse's risotto and Emory's was every bit as good. My husband and I were fighting over the leftovers at lunch today!! We are new to the Silver Lake neighborhood and could not be more pleased to have one of the Pacific Northwests' very best restaurants in our backyard! read more

I am usually satisfied with the level of service that I receive here; however, through my last experience I was not so pleased. It was my boyfriends' and my date night out, and we decided to go to emory's. Everything seemed to go great, but after ordering my food, the server comes back and tells me that the item is no longer being served on the menu... Well if it's not being served anymore then why is it still on the menu? So I ended up changing my order to something else, to only again have the server come back to tell me that the item was no longer on the menu. At this point I'm a little irritated... For a restaurant of this stature then why can they not keep up with the items on the menu or change their menu's if something is no longer being served? No one should have to go to a restaurant and order THREE different times! Other wise, the server was very nice. (Hence the 3 star) read more

I'm kind of mystified by many of the negative reviews here - I've been to Emory's twice now and both times were very satisfying. The first time I had the Lake House Bistro Steak and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. This time I had one of the specials, the Almond-Parmesan Crusted Red Rockfish - "served with coconut rice and a mango papaya salsa; finished with a mango butter sauce." It was excellent, and I had a glass of White Zinfandel that paired with it nicely. I've only had wine in the alcohol department, but the mixed drinks seem have a generous amount of alcohol. I sipped my partner's "Dark and Stormy", one of the ginger beer drinks, and it had a nice bite of ginger. Some of the other cocktails sound really good, and I'd love to try the Pomegranate Peach Martini or Hibiskus Bubbles one of these days. The view of the lake is nice (though calling it a lake is a bit of a stretch, it's really more of a large pond). Probably the only negative (and it's a small one) is that the tables are very close together and it can be difficult to maneuver around them when going to the restroom. As a nice bonus, Emory's has a free rewards card, which gives you a $25 credit for every $250 you spend. read more

I just attended a graduation celebration brunch and I was quite pleased at the food and the service. The brunch was pretty early (11am) so there wasn't a need to use the complimentary valet service. All the servers were always ready to refill drinks and whatnot so I'm not sure if it was in direct response to some of the recent comments on yelp or not. We had a buffet of veggie pasta in cream sauce, chicken skewers, potstickers, salmon, and a platter of various bite-size desserts. The salmon was a bit dry but my brother kept commenting that if you mixed the salmon with the pasta dish, you had a pretty yummy seafood pasta. The chicken skewers were good but a little on the dry side as well. I wasn't a big fan of the potstickers. The desserts were yummy and I have to say that I really liked the tiramisu. This is a big thing for me as I typically don't like tiramisu at all! If just judged on the food...I'd probably would have given Emory's 3 stars but the service, location, and view bumped it up to 4. read more

Here's what I LOVE about Emory's: locally owned, SnoCo family operated. High quality ingredients, stellar service, aesthetically modern NW atmosphere with views. What I don't like: Is the Friday nite live music. I'm a regular patron and a on one visit my husband noticed an advertisement for live music, in the bar. We decided to come back the following week to partake. The music was so loud coming from the bar, even though we were seated in the regular (family) portion of the restaurant. I developed an awful headache during the dinner and couldn't enjoy my spirits, as I needed to take pain medicine. I left a tad disappointed that one night only, but happily carried my Emory's tinfoil duck home with leftovers to enjoy the next day. read more

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

Second time here, first time was better, but still pleased.... Went for happy hour after numerous recommendations. The food was extremely high quality and priced better than expected. Do have: The teriyaki beef satay, the garlic cheese bread, the potstickers, the sliders, the thai chicken. Presentation was full of effort and worthy of commendation! The only thing stopping five stars is that our waitress slipped a mojito on our bill that we didn't order, admitted she hit the "wrong key", and only changed it because we saw it on the bill. Pretty bush league move... I still will return because of the care put into the menu and the fact that they aren't racing to get something on the plates. They really seem to care about the quality and sightlines of their food. Go and try it! read more

Classy atmosphere, and a great place to watch the Hawks game! Always excellent service and excellent food! read more

Came here for my 60th Birthday, I'd been driving by it for years. It's a nice venue with a lovely view of the lake. The service was professional and pleasant. Our server Cortez was attentive and knowledgable. Our drinks appears magically fast. The selection of food was impressive and i did the house steak with asparagus and mash potatoes with a Caesar salad to start it off. I asked for a medium and indeed the steak was a little pink inside, just the way I like it. Everything was savory and delicious. Dinner for two with a white russian chaser was $65 with a 15% tip. It's a lot more than we normally spend but hey, it was my birthday and they were treating us like royalty. We didn't spill the beans that it was my birthday. :) read more

We've been coming to Emory's for years (since about 2000). Long before the fire / remodel. We moved away from the area and don't get over to Emory's as often as we used to, so any time we do it's a treat and never disappoints. Today we stopped in for lunch before a Costco trip. The lunch menu offers less than the regular dinner menu but I'm sure you will find somethibg2for everyone in your party. The only downfall for us... no Coke Products (I love my diet coke). Only Pepsi. So... we had iced water and then each had a drink Me - HUCKLEBERRY KAMIKAZE (it was sweet and tangy and YUM!) Hubby had a - COCO-LIME RICKEY, which he said was really good. We also decided on an appetizer (we hadn't had breakfast so why not!?) SPICY BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER this was REALLY good. Neither of us had seen or heard of it but it intrigued us and we were so glad we ordered it!! For our main meal we chose the good ol' always yummy, never a let down GARLIC CHEESE FRENCH DIP. If you've not has this yet, definitely try it! How can ANYTHING with garlic cheese bread not be amazing!? We left with full bellys and a smile on our faces. The service was great and being able to see the rain come down on Silver Lake as the trees danced in the wind was very relaxing. Just what one needs before a trip to our next destination (which is always chaos!) read more

This restaurant has a terrific happy hour. The prosecco is not good, though-flat every time I've tried it. Tuna poke tower and chicken skewers are a favorite in the bar. The outside porch area has a great view and you can order happy hour items out there. The staff is friendly and helpful. Overall, one of my favorite places to go on a sunny day! read more

Just tried this place for the first time last night. My husband had been there a couple of times prior to their fire. It was a pretty slow night due to the Super Bowl and that was just fine with me. We were greeted right away when we came in and seated. The place is really nice. Our server was great and recommended his favorites on the menu as well as some wine selections. Now on to dinner. I had the stuffed chop and my husband had the Braised Beef Bouruignon. My chop was perfectly cooked and wonderful. Very tender. The only down side is I had asked the waiter if I could sub the sweet potato for a regular potato or mashed. He said he would check but he thought that they were out. How do you run out of potato's? My meal came with the sweet potato and he informed me that they were indeed out of potatoes. He could have came and asked me if I wanted mashed instead. My husbands meal was cooked to perfection and so tender. The sauce was amazing and you could taste the wine in it. The garlic mashed that came with his meal, were some of the best that I have ever had. We declined desert but did look at the menu. Will try it next time we go back. All in all a very nice place to eat with good food. read more

We really wanted to enjoy the entire experience but it was just average overall. The view was great, for Silver Lake. Wait staff was friendly, when they were around. Prime Rib was decent but very tough for a high end cut. There was nothing that was extraordinary which would make us come back. The food was overpriced and the service was slow. If I am paying $35/top, I shouldn't have to ask for water and iced tea refills. We received one lunch menu and one dinner menu. They whole experience was just very average. Unless you are unable to drive farther south than Silver Lake, I would highly recommend going to Seattle to pay this much for a meal. read more

We ate here shortly after they reopened after their fire and we weren't impressed. Someone suggested we try it again, so we did last week. It was better, but not worth the prices. Dinner for 4 including just two drinks and a salad upgrade from the potatoes for my husband and a tip was $100. My sons had pizzas and said they were really about on par with Mod Pizza which is 1/3 the price for about the same size pizza. Our food was good but we had a hard time getting over the prices - especially since dinner doesn't include a salad. What really bothers us is young adults dashing across busy and dark roads to retrieve cars for their complimentary valet parking. Vest or no vest, it's dangerous and my sons wondered how it's even legal. I like the food, but it's pricey so I'm not sure it will be on our list of regular places. read more
