Great deck over looking the lake. Food was delicious and service was good. We had calamari to start then salmon and steamed clams for dinner. We will definitely return!! read more

Great cocktails, wine list, food and service. The views are incredible. We also loved the cheesecake- wow, seriously the best we'd ever tasted! Bought a gift card to send to a friend to share the experience! read more

Nice decor and great view of the lake. Service was slow. Waitress said she'd bring out water, brought water THEN came back to get our drink order. Food was decent, but nothing special, not worth the price. Steak was ordered medium, almost no pink at al, pretty much well done. By the time waitress came back to check, we didn't want to wait for another. Sockeye salmon was also overcooked and not much flavor. Peach salsa was tasty Thick cut pork chop was served in a bowl (?). Which makes it difficult to cut. Overall not the dining experience we expected for the price. read more

My husband and I dined here for dinner with a few friends. My friend was able to make reservations that same day and we were seated right away upon arriving at our designated time. The first thing to mention is the parking lot can get completely full during peak times and you might not find a spot. We were lucky to find one behind the restaurant near the dumpster. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant is classic PNW style and classy. It has a gorgeous view of Silver Lake and sunsets are fun to watch from their lake view tables. They do have an outdoor seating area which would be nice during summer lunch hours. Unfortunately, service was very slow. We were out of the restaurant 2 hours after our reservation time. We can't complain because we were quite enjoying our time with our friends. Just don't expect a quick dining experience. My husband ordered the large chicken salad which he thought was overpriced for what it was. I ordered the Salmon entree which I thought was very delicious but the portion size was smaller than expected for the cost. For dessert we ordered the crème brûlée which was excellent. Overall, we'd return for the gorgeous sunset view over the lake and to try other yummy seafood options off the menu. read more

I really wish this was better Number one Emorys on Silver Lake has taken away their bar menu..... bad idea. Next, as we were being seated, the person at the next table was so loud and full of herself that it was ridiculous, they were not full, and we should have been seated away from that situation. If we continue to frequent this establishment, we will be picky about every nuance of it. Not my go to anymore read more

First restaurant on my visit to Washington. It was exactly what I needed after my long day of flying & adjusting to a different time zone. Their drink menu is unlike anything I've ever seen, so I picked the pineapple coconut margarita. One word: dangerous! You can't taste any of the alcohol, but I promise it's in there & it's delicious! I obviously had to give their famous clam chowder a try. It was delicious! Absolutely a 10/10 from my South Carolina tastebuds. I also partnered my chowder with the Kalbi beef bites. Ugh! Cuts like butter!!! These bites are on the starters menu, but they're definitely entree worthy. Finished off the night with their crème brûlée!! I'd visit this restaurant every night for dinner if I was staying in this state longer! read more

Everything was great! We had reservations for 830 but we sat down @8. Food came out pretty darn fast and everyone was very nice. Not a complaint but the server we had, it was her 3rd day, she rambled a lot (seemed nervous & a little scrambled) & spilled some water and ice on the table but everyone has first days! We tipped her good for doing her best and let her know she's excellent for working hard!

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

We have gone to Emory's many times and never had a bad experience so holding a catering event there was a no brainer. From the management, to kitchen staff, to service, everything was exceptional. Scott and crew, I can't thank you enough. read more

The Good: I'm getting hungry thinking about this meal and I've just ate! Service, atmosphere, and food are excellent. Due to COVID19 restrictions, all seating is on the patio but that's the best part. Emory's has always been known for their patio dining due to the views of beautiful Silver Lake. With a huge fireplace and countless heatlamps, you'll be super comfortable. I opted for the 8oz filet mignon ($44) medium rare, and I can honestly say it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Accompanied by garlic mash potatoes and broccolini, it was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I also asked them to add melted blue cheese to my steak which that happily did (Just $2 extra). Meal also comes accompanied with rolls and oil, also delicious. The Bad: There is none! Emory's isn't taking reservations at the moment so be sure to plan accordingly considering less seating availability. read more

Emory's On Silver Lake - 8oz filet mignon with melted blue cheese; loaded mashed potatoes, and broccolini (yum!). - Steakhouses Near Me - Everett, Washington

Nice location, friendly staff, parking is horrible and the prices are too much. It is no longer a reasonable place to go and enjoy. read more

This place came highly recommended and quite honestly didn't live up to the hype. Was it good, yes, but it was far from great. Several things make up a great restaurant experience and here is a sampling. Great Food, Fast Friendly Service, Reasonable Pricing, and a Comfortable Stay. Emory's had none of this, so allow me to break down our stay. First was parking. There were two other cars trying to find a spot in this cramped lot. We had to execute 4 point turns just to get out of the dead end we found ourselves in. As it turns out. During this turn, we spotted someone leaving and got a great spot, but the lot was packed and even though they have a secondary lot, for the prices charged, they need valet service on peak hours to make guests feel valued and welcome. We had reservations and much to my surprise, they were ready to seat us right away. Too a while for the server to show, he took drink orders. He returned with drinks and left again. When he returned minutes later, he asked us about "Small Plates". We responded by advising we're hungry and wanted big plates. Why are you trying to pace my meal. It's busy, we're hungry, get us in and out. He took our order and advised he'd be back with bread. Bread? We've been here 15 minutes and you are just talking about bread, WE'RE HUNGRY! He came back 5 minutes later, empty handed, I asked about the bread and he told us it was still coming. And it did come about 5 minutes later, the bread was really good, but not worth the extended wait. When the food came, it was decent, but certainly over prices. I had the $25 room temp French Dip. The beef was tender, but the combination of the weak, lukewarm au jus and stale fries just made me feel like I heated up Arby's. One friend had the fish and chips, he liked it, but he is also Mikey, he eats everything. Another friend had the Palmera pizza, which came highly recommended by our server. He was not at all impressed. At no point was anybody rude, everybody was pleasant, but the service was really slow, the food was not served hot or fresh and the portion did not compliment the price. In the end, I have paid considerably less for pleasingly more. This place must be the only game in town, because I wouldn't be open to returning. I think we could have done much better at the Keg in Lynwood or even alternative spot in Bellevue or Seattle. This place was not foot forward. read more

Emory's is always a wonderful experience! We've been here twice now, both times for our anniversary which is the one time a year we splurge on a really good dining experience. Both visits to Emory's have been top notch. From the hostess stand to the bill pay, the customer service is incredible! Everyone is smiling and personable! Our waiter even took time to take some pictures for us! I love the ambiance here! It's warm, cozy, welcoming. Tonight is particularly cold but the temperature inside was perfect (we even had a conversation about it). The fireplaces add a lodge aesthetic and it feels like the perfect little escape. Factor in the gorgeous view and it's just lovely! The food- impeccable! Tonight my husband had a New York steak, medium rare and it was seared to perfection! The vegetable mix was so colorful and full of flavor. I had the saltimbocca- perfect! Creamy with the perfect amount of seasoning! For dessert we shared the Huckleberry Sundae and it was dangerously good! Not too sweet, not too tart- just right! read more

I have very mixed reviews on Emory'. The seating time was good, order time good, and order serve time good. Then it was time to get our bill and we sat for 22 minutes waiting for our server to cash us out. I have never seen that before. As for the restaurant itself, the view is amazing and the decor is nice. It did feel like we were eating in a retirement home as everyone in the place is 60+ and white. They try to sell it as fine dining but then they pump loud elevator music in so everyone is shouting over each other. Then they turn the lights down so low that at almost every table I saw people using their phone light to read the bill. Food was cooked beautifully but I did not understand the Brussels sprout, cauliflower, whole peppers medley. Very strange mix... Every dessert is made with huckleberry so if you do not like huckleberry then you don't eat dessert I guess. great clam chowder though. A little overpriced but not bad until you read the bills fine print. This is one of the places that adds a surcharge now for the employees. A $56 steak and $36 risotto is already on the high end so the surcharge is off putting. Overall, I'll pass on this place. It has potential but they really can't make up their mind on if they want to be fine dining or a tap house. It just felt all over the place to me. read more

Had an amazing night tonite on the deck enjoying the lake, the weather and company. Our waitress was slammed but so courteous and fun! Ran a nice tab up and enjoyed ourselves! They are pressing Rhubarb highlights right now and am a big fan! I tried the Rhubarb slump however I was a little Disappointed. Their Rhubarb mix in this "slump" is amazing though there is definitely NOT enough of it...too much "cobbler" Style topping and ice cream. I would ask Mgnt to increase the allowance of Rhubarb mix because it's just that good and probably won't break the bank to add more:) Spanish coffee was delicious! read more

Happy hour and appetizers were good. Service was great and will go again. I absolutely love this restaurant in the summer to sit outside on the patio with the lake view. It's also so close to home! read more

Sunsets are always great overlooking the lake!! This is a go to spot for my wife and I to relax after a long day working!!

We went to dinner hoping it would be similar to the old Emory's. Always loved this place for the nice view and selective dinner menu. We had just been to Anthony's at the harbor a week prior and they were not good either. I was hoping the menu would be different. We were hugely disappointed with Emory's. The fish and chips tasted like something out of the freezer very wet and flavorless. The pizza was crumbly and tasteless. Spinach salad was fresh but had stale hard bacon from a bag taste. We came at 6 pm on a Saturday night thinking it would be busy, they were very slow which is a clear sign it's not doing so well. Very disappointing and won't be going back. read more

One of my fav go to's in the area! Whether it's a special occasion, HH w/ friends or dining with the hubby this place is great! New owners have changed things up slightly, stays open later, opens earlier! Great menu choices and staff is friendly! Sitting in the patio is a must if it's nice outside! The view is everything and the experience makes dinner that much more inviting! read more

WOW, What a nice surprise, we accidentally found this place and had a wonderful dinner on the deck overlooking the lake in the Sunset. The service is excellent. We started with the clams which were the best clams we've ever had along with the hot rolls and garlic d sauce. Also had the northwest salad which is a salad with shrimp and crab that was fantastic and very large portions in the bistro steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus all prepared perfectly and served along the water's edge. read more

We went for early bird dinners. NOT impressed. "Shrimp cocktail " had 8 shrimp and a dish of greens. Stale crackers for clam chowder. Entree was ok. Chicken Marsala tasted like a frozen chicken breast. Quite flavorless Not impressed. read more

Well a year has went by and I went to dinner at Emory's, not my choice and my wife would not let me say anything to our friends. - Service was Sloooow - I almost ran to the store for drinks. - Appetizers were greasy and again served with the entre. -I wanted to order Pizza but wife would not let me. :) I was going to have pizza hut deliver LOL -Again the wine was the star of the show. Nothing changed in a year. Good News - our friends had the same opinion. Our turn in a couple weeks, we will not be going back. I have to wonder about the over the top reviews, they seem to come in bunches after bad reviews. People that I do know only go to Emory's for the pizza not for a nice sit down dinner. read more

Not good quality of food it really shouldn't be called Emorys the food is nothing at all like it was when Emory owned

Well everyone has an off night and tonight was Emorys turn to be sub par. I can say that because if you have read any other reviews I've given Emorys they set the bar for quality pretty high. Tonight though, my medium rib eye didn't have a trace of pink and was somewhere between medium well and well. The artichoke dip appetizer which usually comes with a nice soft bread had been replaced with a very unappealing, thin and crunchy pizza crust and the seared duck breast while tasty surprised the wife by how small the serving was. Contrasted by a very generous side serving of rice made it appear to be a rice dish with just a side of meat and not duck with rice on the side. The chicken penne was everything we expected. So not a 10 tonight but still recommend them, see my reviews from previous visits for their normal ratings. read more

We just ate dinner there. We enjoyed our meal and drinks. It did seem to take longer than usual to get our drink order, but they were delicious. I had a strawberry mojito- a specialty starting today (June 21). We started with the calamari. It was light and crispy. I had the seafood risotto without spinach. It was delicious. It had a bit of seafood, but there was only one scallop. I wish the shrimp had the tail/shell removed; I didn't like putting my fingers into the risotto/shrimp to get the shell off. The halibut, pasta were delicious and cooked well. The seasonal salmon was okay (according to the eater). It was copper river sockeye, which tends to be leaner than king, so not as tasty. I took half of the risotto home- it was a huge portion! We ordered a creme brûlée and strawberry shortcakes to go. I'm not sure how good they are because we're still full from dinner. My only complaint on service has to do with the bread plate. I was asked if I wanted a new plate after eating the calamari, said yes, a new plate was given. About 2 minutes later, dinner arrived, and everyone's bread plate was removed as well as that yummy olive oil dip! I'm glad I asked for my plate back, but later, I'd wished the oil was still there since we didn't have any butter either. Only last thing, it would be nice if the bread was warmed slightly. Eating a cool roll isn't very pleasant. Would I return? Absolutely based on this meal and service. read more

On the positive side of things, the clam linguini was good. The bread was good. The clam chowder was salty, cold and as for that one piece of clam I found in my soup, I was not sure if it was actually a clam or a piece of rubber that had broken off from something in the kitchen. The Caesar Salad should not have been called a Caesar Salad but rather "The Salad That Time forgot."The dressing was not worth even calling dressing. The dry Martini was neither dry nor even close to what a Martini should be. It was pretty much something someone who may have read about a martini once in passing while thumbing through books at Half Price Books would think a martini is. The service was pretty underwhelming or the four tables our server had were overwhelming, not sure which as we did not see the server very often ourselves. I will say it was nice of her to notice that I barely touched the chowder and she did take it off the bill. But, even that was an ordeal because apparently in order to void an item, one needs manager approval. Of course, one would think that if a manager has been made aware of an issue with an item that results in reversing the charge on the check, said manager would come by the table to at least offer condolences or maybe to see if we are crackpots. Yeah but not so much. The location and ambiance are all good and that but Anthony's Restaurants are where good restaurants go to die. Too bad, Emory's was great. Now, it is Anthony's and it is everything one would expect from Anthony's, overpriced and underwhelming with just a hint of bad service. read more

We dine at Emory's on Silver Lake, driving from east of Vancouver BC approximately 6 times a year. The fish is always fresh (from the Anthony's supply) and prepared wonderfully. The staff is warm and skilled, the room is enjoyable. To advance to 5 stars, I wish Emory's would offer the flatbread that is served at Anthony's Hearthfire on Bellingham Bay -- where we dine about 10 times annually... which merits 5 stars. read more

We found Emory's to be a bit of a mix. Nice setting on a small lake. Sort of a NW lodge feel. The menu is good-sized Our server Shalynn, was warm, prompt and professional. The hit/miss was the drinks and the food. The Coco Rocco cocktail had no discernible alcohol in it. It tasted mostly of seltzer. Beet salad was well prepared with good flavor and the rockfish was pretty good. The Dungeness Chicken dish had issues. Chicken was good and the crab on the top was OK, but the snap peas on the side were left with the stems on and mixed in so you ended up with an unchewable mass in your mouth unless you went through and cut all of the stems off the peas. The kitchen should take the stems off prior to plating the vegetables. For the price, the food and drinks should have been better. read more

We came here for the $50 unlimited feast on Dungeness crab. The quality was good. They provided crab crackers and a little fork. Most of the crab claws were pre-cracked. The staff came by periodically to check if we wanted more crab. All you can eat crab, table side service... catch it while you can! read more

My family and I used to live in Washington. This would be one of our go-to restaurants for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Food is fantastic, and the staff is friendly. Beautiful interior and stunning view of the lake. A great place for celebrations and gatherings. They give complementary dessert if you tell them you're celebrating a birthday :) read more

Very expensive and the food is not as good as it used to be. The main reason for my review today is because of how my husband was treated as he tried to wheel my infant out of the restaurant in his stroller. The area behind the bar is family friendly but has absolutely no walkway. People can barely walk in between the tables there, much less a stroller. I'm guessing the area is probably against fire code as well. In order to get the stroller and my baby out of the restaurant my husband rolled through the bar area and was immediately stopped by a staff member letting him know he wasn't allowed to be there with the baby. Well, duh! He wasn't planning on having a seat and ordering a drink, there was no safe way to exist the building except for walking through the bar Our server was great but they really need to work on either making walkways that align with the cities fire code, or having the staff be less rude about wheeling the stroller out of the restaurant. read more

Visited on 12/7/24. One star because the food was surprisingly poor. The seafood risotto had undercooked rice, very overcooked little lumps of various seafood, and wasn't seasoned, lacking salt. My husband's shrimp louie had the same overcooked shrimp and an avocado that wasn't ripe and was hard. It's almost like they precook all the seafood and just toss it onto whatever dish calls for seafood. We won't return. read more

I was really hesitant to dine here because of the low reviews recently. However we had a great experience. I booked online through OpenTable for a Wed night dinner with my mom and sister who were visiting. We were seated right away outside on the deck. Our server was very nice and attentive. We ordered calamari, crab dip, chicken penne, clam chowder, spinach salad and Caesar salad. The view is beautiful and the food was good. I only had the appetizers but everyone else said the food was delicious. I wish the crab dip came with chips instead of the flatbread though. My boyfriend wants to come again because of the views and how much he liked his pasta. We live 10 min away so we will be back soon. read more

Loved the place, people are well distancing especially on the outdoor seating. The patio is great with a nice views on the lake. The food was good, we had the asian sea bass with mango sauce, it really tasted good, beef sliders were tasty, the chicken pizza was ok but not something i would order again. Overall thats a nice place that I would definitely want to go again especially on nice weathers where you can sit at patio. Staff was super nice and friendly. read more

Excellent spot to sit outside and watch the boat races. We ordered fried pickles ( they were sweet and not expected not sure I'd order again). The flat bread was also sorta lacking. The green bean fries were very tasty and is definitely get this again. We also got tomato soup and the salmon sandwich. Both very good. And both would re order. It was a very pleasant experience. The service was good even though it was busy. read more

The view of Silver Lake is outstanding! Our server was at the top of her game. She approached our table in minutes if of being seated. Drinks were at the table freaky fast! The sockeye salmon and the halibut were perfect! Great setting, great service, great food! What's not to like! read more

Food is ok, a little on the salty side. Service in the bar usually takes longer than I'd like, but everyone is very friendly.

Great restaurant with a view of the lake. Food was good. Very nice wine list! Room for large groups. Staff was very friendly, professional and helpful! Noise level is high so it's difficult to converse which is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars. It's obviously very popular, every table was filled and reservations are recommended. I'm sure that's why it's so noisy. read more

My parents wanted to go to Emory's to celebrate their 55th anniversary. I called ahead to give the staff a heads up that my Dad struggles with tinnitus and Alzheimer's and would appreciate a space without much distraction. We were originally pleased when they allowed us to sit in a quieter part of the restaurant. It was an early reservation (4pm) so not a lot of competition for seating. We received our food and shortly after were told there was a larger party coming in to the room we were seated in and we would need to move (?really?) That was more than confusing for dad, going out when you have Alzheimer's is hard enough - but having to move everything from our table including plates, food, silverware, drinks & the gifts they opened to a different and significantly louder location was REALLY unfortunate. Now for the food: I was shocked at the quality of what we were served, all three dinners literally looked like Swanson TV dinners and tasted the same. I'm positive the veg consisted of a bag of frozen mixed veggies that had been heated in the microwave and tossed on the plate. Absolutely disappointing in every way but the view. read more

Still one of my favorite happy hour places. Keep up the great work Emory's! read more
