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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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 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

I'm really surprised this place is still open. It's been around a dozen years or so since I ate here my first time and I never came back. Brought a date here for like a late lunch if I remember correctly was not a premium busy time at all. The place was maybe 10% full. The service was crappy the food was barely cafeteria style institutional food at best, and for the price it was just an epic failure. I've driven by it a few times through the years usually early evenings and never really see a big crowd of cars there which is why I'm shocked that it's still open. There must be a big lack of decent restaurants in that Silver Lake area is all I can imagine which is hard to believe because just a little south of there is Mill Creek town Center that has quite a few places that have much better food and service than Emory's at the lake. read more

Thank you for updating the menu and adding back several items including the chicken strips. Definitely going back!!!

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

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 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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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.

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

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

Great food and professional wait staff. View of Silver Lake is pretty. They kitchen was able to accommodate my restrictive dietary needs extremely well. 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

Never in my life have I had a more embarrassing experience then my family had at Emory's while celebrating a birthday. We had a reservation for (6) to celebrate my sons 23rd birthday. Upon arrival we all ordered drinks. My 23 yr old son ordered a frozen beverage and when the drink arrived, our server out of the blue says in front of the dining room, 'Are you not 21?' My son responds that he is 23. Our server immediately leaves our table and we are approached by a very rude and unprofessional female Manager. The first words our of her mouth were quote, 'We do not serve underage individuals at Emory's and if it happens again, we will have to ask you to leave.' Put this in perspective, she said this loudly in front of the entire dining room when we were seated in a middle table. I immediately questioned her approach and asked her who at the table was underage? She literally points to my son who stated he was 23 and asked what made her think he was underage and she said, 'Your server told me you were' - Absolutely unreal. Rather than discretely asking my son his age, she accused him of breaking the law and lying all based on a false assumption by our server and announcing it to the entire restaurant. All she had to do was check his ID and she would verified his age. Because she broke protocol and ever checked ID's, she decided to shift blame and accuse my son of being underage. Once our Manager and Server left our table after the big scene, we were the talk of the restaurant. Nearby diners could not be how unprofessional the Emory's treated us and were appalled by the Managers accusation and threat. Needless to say, we will NEVER be back to Emory's and will share this story to anyone who asks about the restaurant. 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

Service and food have sadly gone down hill since new ownership took over. We have tried it 4 or 5 times and leave disappointed. it's close to home and the patio is great so we will probably come back for a drink or app but not as much as before. read more

The food is good, the staff are lovely and Nick and Andrew are wonderful bartenders, we love having date night here!

We used to love Emory's,but since the sale and new owners good has gotten worse portions smaller, and price higher. We thought first time was maybe just a bad day, but second time was even worse the garlic bread French dip used to be amazing, now it is on a tiny baguette with no garlic bread flavor. They used to have great shoestring fries now they were cold and not crispy. I would of asked for hot fries but we hot pun in a side room with a large party and our waitress was solely focused on them. This is probably our last time there sadly we loved it there read more

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

4.5 stars. The restaurant was nice and bright. It has beautiful lake view. The food came out so fast I was surprised. The hot crab artichoke dip was amazing. I thouht it would be too much w lots of cheese and bread. But it impressed me. The bread and garlic olive oil, oil was delicious but bread was so bad. It didnt look like those nice bread I saw on yelp. Beef burgundy and chicken penne both were delicious. The beef stew was salty which I dont like but still good. This place is expensive, its nice for special occasion. They took our picture for our anniversary and printed out for us to bring home. I think thats pretty smart giving gift like this as a business. I will be back for more food. read more

We recently ordered to-go as the wait here was going to be 30 + mins. I ordered on their website a burger and was happily surprised that I could " make it gluten free." My happiness turned to shock when I opened my meal. I got a small burger with cheese and 1 piece of wilty lettuce. Here, make it gluten free means to remove your bun and your fries (because they couldn't guarantee cross contamination). They easily could have added some side vegetables or a salad; even a lettuce "bun" if they didn't have gluten free options. Instead they up charged me $1 for added cheese. This sad piece of meat cost almost $30 with tip. Pretty disappointing. read more

Quite a find and relatively lesser known silver bullet! Gorgeous location and definitely recommend sitting in the patio facing the water. They have heaters which work magic.

Went to Emory's on silver lake tonight for a early birthday dinner for my wife. We've been here a few times for an anniversary dinner and a Easter brunch in the past, we always have had dinner inside but tonight we were offered a table in their semi outdoor dining area I'm glad we went with that choice. It's fall right now but Emory's has a nice gas fireplace and other heating that kept us comfortable during our dinner also the view of silver lake is nice adding to the ambiance. Well we started with a couple of adult beverages, I had the black walnut bourbon while my wife had her usual greyhound both were delicious. Moving on to our appetizers, Nancy my wife chose the garden salad and I had the clam chowder, the salad looked great but I can say for a fact Emory's chowder could give a local legends chowder a run for its money in my opinion. The chowder wasn't too thick you could taste the bacon but it was second to the clams which were very abundant just a very flavorful chowder highly recommended. Nancy chose the bistro steak for her main while I went with the free range duck breast. So I didn't get a taste of Nancy's steak tonight but it looked like the chef nailed the medium rare done ness that she asked for. Also the asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes were delicious according to my wife , my wife always brings home some of her dinner so I might get a chance to sample a bite of her steak later. Now it's not a complaint well maybe a little bit but the portions for my duck breast was kinda small, I know it says 6 oz breast in the menu but reality didn't measure up to my imagination. Ok other than that it was a awesome plate, I've never had cotton candy grapes til tonight but they were a nice sweet but not overly sweet counter to the rice and demiglase . My duck breast was cooked to a slightly less than medium done. Probably because it's farm raised you know it's duck when you take a bite but without the gamey ness of a wild duck. I really enjoyed my meal so did my wife happy birthday early Nancy!!!! read more
