A little pricey for what you get, but it does have an amazing view! Good food, but again, a little over priced.

We were able to get reservations for Friday night so there was no wait. The location was good and we were seated near the window overseeing the lake. We couldn't see much but I am sure it is is beautiful in summer! We ordered calamari which was pretty fresh and tasty. I got crab cakes with Thai chilli sauce and quinoa. It was really good! Other guests ordered chicken entree and burger which they said was good. Hubby got lamb shank but did not like the sauce and the lamb tasted like beef. He was not impressed as he has had amazing lamb at Emeril's. Overall it was a really warm and welcoming restaurant with good food (minus the lamb) read more

Awesome view!! Great place especially the terrace. And overall the staff and food were nice, too.

In a word, disappointing. We went for Easter brunch today, and our experience was disappointing from start to finish. The haughty hostess neither greeted us nor made us feel welcome. She just slowly led us to the table, plunked down the menus, and walked away. Our server was more friendly, but slow. It took her nearly 10 minutes before she came to take our order. The restaurant was barely 25% full, so there was no reason for this delay. It took a very long time for our food to be served as well. I ordered the Alaskan Benedict ( eggs benedict, but with smoked salmon instead of ham). The taste was OK, but the eggs were overcooked and the dish was room temperature by the time it was brought to the table. As well, the breakfast potatoes were overcooked and closer to mashed potatoes than anything else. Our children ordered wood fired pizzas off the children's menu, and these tasted very good and were scorching hot when served. However, for the price, I would have expected a little fruit garnish or something, as the pizza is served just by itself on a plate. We've eaten at Emory's once before, prior to the fire, and I recall a similar sense of disappointment in the mediocre food and not so great service. I don't imagine we'd ever find a reason to go back, nor would I recommend anyone else go there. Emory's is less than a mile from our house, but for the price, I would rather drive to Ivar's or Arnie's in Mukilteo. read more

My husband and I love it here! It is one of our favorite date nights and always has a fantastic happy hour. The service has been kind and the food comes out quickly. read more

Went back recently with friends. Wonderful dinner! I had the pork shank and it was sooo good! Hope it stays on the menu forever. All of us had a great meal and good time. I had previously left a so-so review and want to say our previous experience was likely due to growing pains or whatever you want to call it since we had gone when they had basically just re-opened. Chef Oscar is great but I still am not a fan of protein on top of starch, just a pet peeve there, you can likely request segregated food if you are like me. Keep up the good work everyone at Emory's! read more

Emory's has improved so much since the first year or so after they re-opened. It took them a while to transition, but their food has been consistently delicious, service friendly and prompt, and drinks well made each time we have been there recently. Monday's all day happy hour is awesome, especially in the summer when you can sit out on the deck and watch the pretty blue sky over Silverlake. Their gluten free pizza is the best I have ever had, anywhere... and I have been gluten free for 7 years. Their salads are delicious too and my husband is a big fan of the french onion soup. They have lots of fun activities like live music and trivia, and their free valet parking is pretty awesome on a busy weekend night. read more

If you go here, just get drinks and appetizers. The entrees here are similar in quality to Applebees and much more expensive. They are very small with fillers. I got the tenderloin, and it came cut up, chewy, and swimming in a thick salty TV dinner sauce, and the potatoes were obviously instant. My boyfriend got the seafood risotto which was very mediocre and was mostly rice with a few pieces of seafood. The servers were nice, but we waited a long time for a table on a Monday night and when we were brought back, there were many empty tables. No hard feelings, just underwhelmed by this restaurant. If you go, just go to the bar and get drinks and appetizers. You will still get a lovely view, no wait, and the crab cakes are delicious. read more

Great location, nice view. wonderful ambience; however, I have never had a good meal at Emory's. The food is either mediocre or sometimes just plain bad. I would recommend another restaurant with a view, if you want good food. Emory's relies too heavily on it's location and view, yet neglects its cuisine. Hire new chefs/cooks. read more

this place was good a few years ago when they had the open mic nights. i would perform, even won a few times, then they went to bingo night, which is lame. as far as the food, i would get an app off the bar menu and a couple beers...pricey, but ok. i actually worked there in the summer and fall of '94 when it first opened, as a dishwasher. crappy job when i was in college, but i was young. sorry to hear about that fire. how did that happen? nice to see u re-opened. id like to eat their sometime, just cant afford it read more

Overall good experience but pricier than I thought. Brought sister from out of town. She had chicken breast with crab, I had lamb shank. Both served with mashed potatoes and asparagus - both good. Very good service, pretty location, free valet parking++. Food was a little overpriced but tasty -- not particularly creative. Asked for a small side salad with meal which was $8.50 each when the bill came...most nice restaurants will have a small serving of mixed greens for half that price. Had a glass of Chardonnay - stingy wine pour. Sister had a lemon drop - she loved it - beautiful presentation. read more

Great food and environment, the staff is always clean and professional.. it's a local favorite for great drinks and food!

The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars is because the food was good. However, the service was AWFUL!! We we waited for over 30 minutes for drinks. The order took almost an hour. We saw a family that came in at the same time we did just simply leave. Eugene, please pay better attention to your tables. read more

Just wanted to drop by and compliment the service at Emory's. We were a very difficult bunch, moving tables about 4 times because we requested a patio table, then turned it down when more of our group showed up unannounced, then asked again for a bigger patio table. They were accommodating every time and if they were PO'ed at us it didn't show. Thanks, guys! read more

Bar area has been reconfigured to only bar stools, which means if your companion is under 5' 4" her feet dangle in mid air like a child. Food is good and service is ok. read more

My family and I went to Emory's for dinner to celebrate my birthday. The deck was gorgeous and made for a beautiful setting. The seafood risotto and tequila mussels were delicious, which our server Lindsey recommended. Lindsey was on top of her game! The table next to us was being incredibly difficult and extremely rude to her for things that weren't in her control but she continued to serve them with kindness and patience. Even when the manager came over, the table continued to be horrible. They were the only thing that made our meal uncomfortable. People like that shouldn't be allowed to continue eating somewhere if they want to talk down to the staff, and only complain when the manager offered solutions. Keep up the good work Lindsey, thank you for making my family's dining experience a good one. We will definitely be back! read more

When we went to Emory's we sat outside. The view of Silver Lake is beautiful and we were lucky enough to see a few bald eagles dive bombing the water. We ordered fish and chips and a steak salad. The fish and chips were very good, battered not breaded. The steak salad was also good, except the steak was not cut up enough so it made it difficult to eat. The biggest complaint is that we were seated next to a group of people that appeared to be "regulars". They were very loud and staff kept coming back to talk to them. They sat, drank, and talked very loudly for the entire hour we were there. We left early because of the noise. I would recommend sitting inside or away from the back corner where these folks to seem to occupy as their own. Otherwise I would recommend a trip, the food is worth it. read more

Food was really good but the service was very slow. I'd rate it 4 stars, but taking one off because a) parking lot is too small so you are almost guaranteed to need to valet, which would be fine except b) their valets managed to LOSE my husband's key. Seriously. read more

I've eaten here on 2 different special occasions, both made a reservation for. No wait was nice but like the other person stated, our food took a bit long to show up at the table. They confirm your reservation a day or two before and I really appreciate that being as I can be forgetful at times. Their food is amazing though! The menu is extensive with options from fish to steak to burgers. I would definitely send my friends and family here for a nice night out. read more

I went for the live music and ordered one item off the menu: Chicken Lettuce Wrap. It was excellent! I'll be going back for the deck and that menu item. read more

The food is usually pretty good. Showed up last week to have lunch...they were closed! I used to be able to get lunch, but now they are no longer open for lunch. This is a lakefront restaurant on a beautiful day and they are not open for lunch. I don't get it. I was told they are focusing on happy hour. Um OK, but I'm not here to drink! read more

Nice seating area, prompt service and food was served quickly

We finally checked out Emory's after living near it for several years. My husband took my children me there for lunch on my birthday last August. It is not really a good place to take your children. The cons: They don't cater to children at all. My steak was overdone and quite small for the price. It seemed like a poor quality cut of meat. The prices are a bit ridiculous for what you get. The service was fair. The waitress was nice enough, but she seemed very overworked and stressed. We ate outside on the deck, and there was an awful odor, like possibly rotten fruit or stale wine. Thankfully there was a nice breeze that carried that away. The pros: the bread and dipping oil they bring out is pretty good. The deck is a really nice option to eat outside, as it is on the lake and so it's a pretty location. It is easy to find. The inside is very nice from what we could see as we passed through to get to the deck. Overall, I would rate it as just average. It is pretty unlikely we will go back there because the food is not worth what it cost in my opinion. read more

This was a fantastic experience! Great food, awesome service and a wonderful atmosphere!

Excellent entree selections; excellent attentive service; view of the lake. Wonderful meal.

Went for late breakfast, early lunch on Sunday a little after noon. We ordered two variations of eggs benedict, one with lox, the other with crab and shrimp. Both meals were very good. The service was the only issue. It did not seem that busy, but took a long time to get the meal, which was fine, we were enjoying a leisurely meal. But when the meal was over, it would have been nice to leave. Our inattentive waiter still had not delivered the bill almost 25 minutes after we finished eating. He only filled the coffee one, never refilled water and never came back after delivering our meal to see if everything was okay. The food was fantastic and we would like to give it another try, hopefully this was a poor waiter or we caught them on a bad day. read more

My hubby and I really love this place. This is our go to for date days/nights. The happy hour menu is delish and inexpensive. The outside seating is amazing. We havent gone and sat in the restaurant as of yet but we will....But every time we have been here the service was awesome and food/drinks were yummy. read more

Nice place, good food and live music's big surprise and we have been driving by for years but never gone. Highly recommended!!!

Lovely atmosphere, good food, great service. A bit pricey so more a special occasion place than an every day go-to dinner spot.

Awesome views and live music...best restaurant in the silver lake/everett mall area. Perfect if you want to avoid traffic of bellevue or seattle (or even alderwood) but still have dinner at a nice restaurant. read more

Great Service and amazing food. We had a group of 8 for 65th birthday party and were impressed with the server who let us enjoy our time and not feel rushed. The seafood risotto is amazing and rich. Cannot wait for the summer to have cocktails on the deck. Cheers! read more

UPDATE: I never did get my original gift card in the mail, but was back for bar bingo night June 27th. I had spoken with Robert, the Director of Operations, earlier in the day. He reassured me a gift card would be waiting for me when we came in and had a table reserved for our group of 14. Our waitress was Amber, and she was awesome! She was attentive, as nice as could be, and all of our orders were correct and the food was good. Not to mention our view of the lake was beautiful. This is what customer service is all about. I for one did not mind the extra gratuity added to my bill - Amber deserved it. Now the only thing that puzzled us was Amber asking if we had a rewards card. Rewards card? She is the first staff member we've ever had ask us. I asked if that was something new and she said no, its been going on for a while now. News to us but coming there once or twice a month, those dollars add up after a while. 3 of us in the group signed up for a card. I will definately use my rewards to accumulate free food! So Robert, thank you for the follow thru and the handsome reward for my complaints, and to Amber for great customer service! We will be back next month. read more

I've only eaten here once and I would go back based off the experience/food. We went in for a Sunday afternoon lunch with family who were visiting from out of town. It was relatively quiet, and we were seated at a table with a great view. I had the fish and chips and have no complaints. My husband had the fish tacos and complained that it was too "saucy", but flavor was good. read more

I have been here 2x's in the last month, once for lunch on a Sunday and just last night for dinner. If I had gone for dinner I wouldn't have gone back. Lunch on the deck was great. I had 2 appetizers and was very happy with them. Dinner was pricy and my steak was over cooked. I ordered my steak medium and it was pretty much well done, very little pink. My husband had pasta which was very good. The band started to set up which was very loud. We were glad to be leaving before the music started. We will probably go back but not for dinner. read more

my meetup group comes here on thursdays for bingo. We all really like that bingo happens during happy hour. We typically get three or four appetizers and drinks and share everything. The food is always consistently good. I'm a huge fan of the firebread and the ahi tower. Several in my group love the buffalo chicken strips. I find the cocktail menus to be creative and love that the drinks are always strong and consistently well made including their mocktails. read more

Great place, and great setting. The food is amazing, but a little pricey. I think a couple of dishes are over done with "flare" when they would be great on their own. The steak and crab cake had too much sauce on top of it. Each item was amazing on their own and I think the sauce over did it. Just my opinion though, and I'm sure the Chef knows what he's doing! Great job and I'll be back. read more

Great spot to go have dinner in the local area! My wife and I enjoyed our appetizer: the beet salad, so good. We also ordered the Lakehouse steaks ordered medium rare. Ended up receiving a filet mignon which was to tough to even cut, or eat ! The waitress was great though and comped my steak dinner. We will be back for drinks and appetizers! read more

We come here frequently for the happy hour and bar menu. The tempura buffalo chicken strips and cheesy garlic bread are to die for! We have been less pleased with the restaurant menu...mostly overpriced for the quality of what is delivered. Great atmosphere though!! read more

Looking to celebrate my B-day and was expecting a night of good food great service. This did not happen. They sat us then forgot about us. Eventually, or waitress came back and we ordered. After we were pretty sure they forgot about us again the waitress came back to tell us our food was ready but the app had not been fired she had forgotten to put in the order. So we got or food my salmon was not of good quality, and was a very small portion for 26 bucks. She then brought our app. We had to wait another huge amount of time to get a second round of drinks. 2 and half hours and 91 bucks later we both walked away disappointed. read more

Fantastic meal! Calamari cooked perfectly with light aioli on the side. Burger juicy and wonderful presentation; generous portion of cod with broccolini. Chocolate mousse amazing. Generous portion, great flavors! read more
