Bad food. Under seasoned. Under cooked. Multiple visits. I'm done. Service is fine. Restaurant needs to constrain the menu and focus on putting out quality food. read more

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

This restaurant is a great place for all kinds of occasions. It is really close to our house and we enjoy going there. The food is fresh and well prepared, the wine menu is well stocked, desserts are great and the view is unbeatable. It is especially beautiful on the deck around 8:30pm, except it can get a little chilly so bring a light jacket. I have had great service and I have had some not so great service, but that's normal. Another great thing is since the parking is small and the restaurant gets packed at times, they offer complementary valet parking. read more

This was our first time there but decided it was a safe bet with so many great reviews. Add one more to the list. We made reservations and were glad we did. The food is great, the staff is friendly and attentive and the price is very reasonable for what you get. Not to mention, it's on the lake so it's perfect for a nice romantic night out with your significant other. We had the crab cakes and they were delicious. We were only caught off guard by one thing- due to the growing popularity of this place they don't have enough parking although they have hired valet service to take care of that. Don't forget to bring cash to tip them. They are great. This was our first time but it will definitely not be our last. read more

Emory's On Silver Lake - One of the best crab cakes I've had. The perfect appetizer. - Steakhouses Near Me - Everett, Washington

Great place for some nearby grub. Only 4 stars due to the limited steak selections...

Meh... Way overpriced for nothing special. Having Valet parking does not make an establishment better or worth paying more for a really mediocre meal. Our server was great but that was the only positive experience we had. read more

Was my boyfriends birthday so we thought we would give this place a shot. Waitress left us waiting after ordering drinks and appetizers/entrees. She later came by to inform us she forgot to order our appetizers and asked us if we stilled wanted it. Had to wait to have our drinks refilled while the large party next to use was waited on at every moment. We got our appetizers and entrees and found this place to be extremely subpar and agreed never to return. First $0 tip I have ever left. read more

Super great food and a lot of it- we were full afterward! Loved our server Jennifer and the evening was beautiful. Definitely will come again. read more

My family loves Emory's. We live close and it's always delicious. They are popular and almost always busy which means service is a little slow...but it has never stopped us from coming back. Parking can be tricky on a busy night, it they do have valet service ! read more

My Wife and I are deaf and hard of hearing and without asking they wrote things out to make are we understood, Food was awesome... it was our 20th year anniversary dinner, A young man Name Michael was the best and should be praised a hundred times over (Thank you Michael) read more

Good vibe. Neighborhoody and lively. Awesome for Happy Hour. Great wine list and good apps - tuna poke, hummus and crab cakes - all good munchies. Dinner however was very bland. The Chilean cheeks, fish tacos, and burger were not our faves. Some of the dishes were cooked differently and it was all in the same order! Don't want to hate as I really like the feeling of this spot. Will try for another round the next time I'm up north. Would be amazing in the summer. Bands on Friday nite! Get a reso - it's super packed. read more

Gonna go ahead and be real here... The only thing worth while about this place is the scenery. After seeing high reviews and positive feedback I decided to go with my husband, but after arriving and sitting at our table I knew it was a mistake. I would say we were "served" water by a young gentleman with blonde hair, but it was more like he slammed down the glasses said nothing and walked away. We then had our waiter (I think his name is Bryant?) Say hello to us and then walk away without offering us drinks or asking if we were ready to order. His attitude was innapropriate and made me feel like he just wanted us to hurry up and leave. The menu had a large variety of options but the prices were ridiculously high for what (in my opinion) you could have got at any local restaurant, such as an Applebee's etc. Would not recommend and Will not be going back, but gave it 2 stars for the view. read more

Always good food, nice view, and sometimes decent service. The crabcakes and seafood risotto are very nice. The deck is great when the weather's cooperative. The service can be hit n miss, but it's generally pretty good. read more

Just spent a lovely two hours on the deck enjoying beautiful weather and view. We shared several items from the happy hour menu along with a delicious pineapple coconut margarita. Everything was really good and the service was excellent. read more

Great food and AMAZING Christmas decor. Very Charming. Quite the winter wonderland. A bit pricey, but worth it!

Lisa was a rediculously rad server! Totally recommend her if you come to this restaurant! Had the seared sesame crusted ahi tuna. Excellently prepared can't say enough good about our experience! read more

This is such a great place to have nearby that is on the nicer side of the restaurant scale for the area. I've never actually gone during normal dinner times, but I definitely take advantage of their happy hour menu prices. It's a great way to get good food but no paying a fortune. The restaurant is pricey so I tend to only go during happy hour. They have different events going on throughout the week: trivia, bingo, stand up comedians, live bands etc. bingo and trivia is free if you're sitting in the bar (both during happy hour) bingo is fun you win prizes such as gift cards to Emory, or whichever alcoholic company rep is there, so you win their merch-t shirts, glasses, shots, growlers, sun glasses, etc. bingo is fun and so is the announcer. It's a much younger crowd than your average bingo goers. Trivia was so hard it was embarrassing for our team lol. But if trivia is your thing-go for it. The restaurant is on the lake, and if you're able to catch the sunset there it's gorgeous. There is out door seating with a fireplace that's great for summertime. read more

Decided to try this place out with the missus. Best clams around and an atmosphere you can't beat.

Congratulations Emory's! I think you all did a fantastic job on a very busy Christmas Eve! Having spent time managing fine dining restaurants myself, I know how stressful holidays can be. From what I could see and from my own experience last night, you were running like a well oiled machine! Here is my take: reservations were being honored very close to on time (no small feat with almost three full turns), front desk staff was cool and collected, servers had a positive attitude, service was efficient and timely - extra runners noted, large selection of entrée choices on the holiday menu, the food was all nicely presented and tasted great (the kitchen was even able to accommodate my special request of cutting up my guests prime rib into bite size pieces as he wasn't able to wield a knife himself), guests were not being rushed, the holiday decorations were lovely and the restrooms were clean. Awesome teamwork! We appreciated the free valet parking. The only improvement to our experience would have been a covered/tented area to load and unload passengers. It was quite rainy and we noted that many of your guests last night, including mine, were elderly with mobility issues. I don't generally go out to eat on holidays because so often the experience is disappointing when a restaurant is pushed to its limits but I was very impressed with everything I saw and tasted! read more

This is our last time to "Emory's on Silver Lake," as long as Gary is the manager! My review that I posted on their page.... We've had many good times at Emory's, but the last two times have been very maddening. Months ago, we witnessed the manager "Gary" screaming at a band in anger, out on the floor of the restaurant/lounge. I can't imagine a professional acting out this way in front of customers and staff. Last night we made reservations for eight in the restaurant and made no mention of listening to music. We really wanted to enjoy dinner and conversation with our friends, but we were seated next to the stage. It was hardly quiet enough for conversation. We tried to make 7:30 reservations, but couldn't get in until 8:15. All good until we got our bills and noticed that each person had a $4 cover charge. We brought this to our servers attention and she said she would remove the cover charges from our bills. Instead of correcting the bills, the manager came to our table to explain that there is a sign by the door that tells about the cover charge. The sign said "Cover in the lounge." Then he told us that "we" had requested to be close to the band. We informed him that we had "not" requested to be close to band. He told us he could show us the reservation book, so basically he was calling us liars. We did not make that request. Is it right that a paying customer have a cover charge crammed down their throat? We don't think so. (And we did pay a hefty bill.) This manager rules the restaurant, the staff, and the customers with an iron fist. I'm sure that the staff walks on egg shells and fear for their jobs while working around Gary. Ourselves and many friends will be staying away until there is new management. read more

I don't mind paying $18 for a salad, but please make it worth my while... A few years back I came to Emorys and was treated with respect, each member of the staff was smiling and friendly. I am beyond disappointed to say that this is no longer the case. About 10 minutes after we sat down a woman slid 2 glasses of water down our table without a word and stormed off. As time passed I came to the conclusion that nobody would be coming to tend to us, as my husband and I started to get up from the table our waitress FINALLY showed up. No apology, drab personality, just a real shell of a waitress. After ordering our food she mentioned she would bring us some warm bread, 7 minutes later... here is some more water... oh and I'll bring some bread... another round of oh I'll get the bread. THEN SERIOUSLY, the lady from earlier who slid our glasses of water like a bartender from a reality TV show pops in with a some bread... and YEP you guessed it, SLAM then SLIDE. The woman should really look into joining a shuffleboard league. This was a bad experience to say the least, you could not pay me to come back. - I forgot to mention that my husband asked for no bean sprouts in his salad. Well that didn't happen. I apparently FORGOT to ask for no broken shells tossed in with my clams, haha lucky for me I didn't chip a tooth. read more

I've been to Emory's several times before, and it is usually uneventful, good or bad. Tonight will be my last time. Like John, I was very disappointed. I'll drive down the freeway if i ever want fine dining on a waterfront. Emory's only remaining quality is their property, without which Emory's would be unknown. Ill sum it up as briefly as possible...but it will be tough to be brief. 1. Slow and unhelpful service except for basics, waitress seemed friendly enough, but her repeated catch phrase was "no. I'm really sorry" 2. My wife's order was unavailable, and this was discovered 20 minutes after placing the order. (As it was being served at the next table) 3. No substitutions. "I'm really sorry, they won't let us" 4. Tiny side salad (paid extra due to #3) $8.00 to be exact, for a tiny side dinner salad, plus a baked potato that i didnt want. 5. Entrée was supposed to come with bread and olive oil. "I'm really sorry". 6. When the check came, I asked about cost of the tiny side salad, the waitress said...I'm really sorry, do you want to speak with the manager? She came back and said "sorry, the manager won't come over (!) and said we won't change the price on the tiny $8.00 salad. For the first time in my dining life, I did not leave a tip, and I'm not sorry. I've always been such a tip sucker, but tonight I realized it is not an entitlement it is a tip! Service is a team effort. Advocate for your customers, and just try a little. I regret the whole night and wish I had just saved my money. I'll never go back. read more

Wow, what a beautiful place. They have a beautiful cozy PNW wood interior, and great outdoor patio overlooking Silver Lake. Reservations are highly recommended as this place is beloved and busy. Emory's menu highlights local seafood and American dishes. They even have pasta and pizza options. This is a special place to come celebrate a special occasion. I came here with a group of friends to celebrate our friend's 40th birthday. When making the reservations we informed them of the celebration. Someone came to the table and took a complimentary group picture with a nice camera and provided a free print out. The staff were incredibly friendly. We enjoyed the clam starter and each of us ordered a different dish. Everyone was very happy with their food, and I loved my seafood crab salad. The seafood was fresh, and tasty. The wine selection was impressive and affordable. They had many local by the glass options, and had several priced at $7. Loved our time here. read more

Horrible came here for dinner and it took them 1 hour to come take our order and even longer to get our meal. The food was not good at all i ordered one of there signature steak dishes and the meat was really tough and had an unusual taste to it like its been frozen then thawed and refrozen again. I will not be coming here again ever. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for at least 15 years and loved the ambiance, wine tasting/jazz nights back in the day. However, I hope they restart that tradition. The food is excellent and service is nothing to complain about...I would recommend coming here to support the local economy and a beautful lake to gaze upon.... read more

I have never been to Emory's before, but had received a gift certificate to go there from a friend. My husband and I were really excited to try it out, but then it burned down. We called a few weeks ago and explained that we had a gift certificate that had expired during the closure. We were told that they would not honor it. I could not believe that they would not give us credit for it,,We were told that we should have used it before it expired.. Sorry, did they not listen, we received it the month before the fire, and it expired while they were closed. To me this is poor judgement on there part, as we now have no desire to even go there now. They should have offered to give us partial creidt for the certificate, but I guess they are really worried they might loose a dollar, but in all reality they have lost more then that, they have lost our life long business, and we are huge seafood fans. I wish Emory's all the best, but I will not go there. read more

I can't say that I go here a lot and order a variety of things to give you a really good idea of what its like to eat at this restaurant but I have been here enough to know how I feel about it. Emory's is right down the street from my parents house so whenever we don't ever feel like cooking dinner, we usually order food to go from Emory's and just go pick it up. Our usual order is the seasonal greens salad with salmon that comes with fresh fruit, nuts and creamy cheese. It is really delicious and refreshing. We almost always get things to go from Emory's and never really have a sit down dinner to get the full experience but we have before. The last time we actually went to Emory's for a sit down dinner was awhile ago though. The service was always a really good and the people were very friendly. Although I do remember a time that we placed an order to go and when we arrived the staff were not very nice and almost rude to us. They said the order would be ready in around 30 minutes and we arrived after about 45 minutes due to us running late. We did not think it was a problem since it was our food and it was on us to pick it up on time, it did not affect them whatsoever. But they were very rude and snobby, saying that they thought we weren't going to show up to pick our food because we were 15 minutes late... A little ridiculous. This actually happened another time that they were not as friendly as I remember when I was picking up an order... It was disappointing to get service like that in about 5 minutes. But overall wonderful food, beautiful views of the lake and nice atmosphere!! You must try it! Just maybe don't get takeout :) read more

We rented out their party room and hosted a fabulous birthday dinner for my mother. The food was delicious and hot for everyone, and their service was over the top. You certainly can't beat the scenery here! We are so grateful to have this establishment in our area and the kind people who run it. read more

Great happy hour. The deck is really nice when it's warm out. Nice to have the live music.

We went to Emory's at dinner-time before going to a concert. We had the choice of ordering from the dinner menu or choosing appies and sharing. Two couples decided to go with the appetizers and drinks. We got the panang chicken lettuce wraps which were ok, albeit messy; I wouldn't order them again; they weren't that enticing to me. We also got nachos, which were overcooked...the cheese was hardened onto overbrowned chips; couldn't figure out how you ruin nachos; could do better at home. One of the guys got the kalbi beef satay; I didn't taste it, so don't know how it was, but he seemed to enjoy it. All-in-all, this was an average place in a beautiful setting on Silver Lake (we ate out on the back deck on a rare sunny warm evening, although we did face the parking lot!); for the prices and not-so-great food, I wouldn't go back. read more

I have been to Emory's about four times in the last nine months. What I noticed the most was the food was consistent and the staff was always around if I needed to order anything and also very friendly. Their steaks are done to perfection! I love med-rare and have always received this. Their drinks are also very good. I love their top-shelf margaritas. The view of the lake are very nice to look at after a hard day at work....very relaxing! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great steak and great drinks! Cheers! read more

Nice place with nice view. The service was great. I tried their plate which have many seafood combinations. It was delicious and rich. If you are seafood lover this should be your first choice. read more

Based on Emory's response to my comments, I'd like to lower the score. Those concerned enough about yelp to check reviews might take the opportunity to turn a less than stellar review around. Instead, the establishment has chosen to launch personal attacks. If ever I was on the fence about giving them another shot, the response put me squarely in the "never again" categroy. I'll be sure to tell family and friends in the area to steer clear as well. read more

Emory's is a great place for local eats, good drinks and patio dining by the lake! We have gone here several times and are never disappointed! read more

Very disappointed the restaurant was not able to accommodate a brunch reservation for a table of 8. I have eaten here a few times and have to say it is overpriced but was a great location for our family to meet. Oh well... Ivars here we come. read more

I will start with the good before I jump in to all the things that are wrong with this place. The restaurant was warm and inviting, the individual tables and lamps was a nice touch. The wait staff where courteous and pleasant, the view was really nice too. Parking was a little tight but they do offer valet parking which is a nice touch. With all that being said, The food was horrible, don't waste your time or money. Tasted like it came from a can, it was very bland and flavorless, the fact that they have the price point they do I expected to be wowed and was let down. The people that gave this place anything higher then a 2 star have to have really standards and must think that burger King makes a good burger. I for one will never return. read more

Great place for live music. Cozy atmosphere, friendly servers. Nice view. If a 6oz. glass of wine isn't enough for you, they offer a big, huge 9oz. glass for just a dollar or two more. Parking isn't a problem because when it fills up they have free valet service. My only suggestion is that they could make the coffee stronger. But of course, that's just my personal preference. :) read more

This is a fantastic restaurant for Northwest cuisine. I have eaten at this restaurant more than 50 times. While the previously place burned down, the new restaurant is better than ever. Great ambiance and wonderful views of the lake. The service is always great at Emory's. And the wine selection is one of the best in town. It is no wonder why this place is always packed full of people. . . it is a great place. The Seafood Ceasar is fantastic, as is the Crab dip. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. Despite eating here often, I have never had a bad meal. Really great spot whether it is for a romantic evening out or dinner with the family. read more
