Emory's on Silver Lake

Living locally I cannot believe that I have not been into this restaurant before. Each staff member that I witnessed dealt with every table very professionally while delivering exemplary service. Our server Brandon was no exception, providing us with top notch service! We had the Crab Linguini and the Braised Lamb Shank, both were prepared perfectly. We will be back Brandon, thank you sir!

They have some pretty incredible chef's here!! The clam chowder soup is the bomb and you must try their creme brulee, absolutely delectable. I enjoyed the surf & turf and the steak all but melted in my mouth, so tender. My table had a view of the lake. What a wonderful way to end my work day. Oh, almost forgot, the staff that I interacted with helped to make this a fantastic evening. Go, you will be glad you did!

Love this place; been here several times and doesn't disappoint. The ambiance is soft, the food delicious, the waitstaff attentive. My only issue is the parking isn't as ample as it should be, and the chicken has a tendency to be slightly overdone. (I've had it twice and the same issue). This time around I had the Chicken Dungeness (pictured). Amazing flavour. The butternut squash ravioli went quickly, and was absolutely perfect. Artichoke dip was on point, and the oysters were absolutely decadent! For dessert, mink chocolate mud pie. Very rich! My advice? Make a reservation, or go when the crowds aren't prevalent. And make sure you get a window seat!

Food was good other than cold when it it did get to our table. The service was below standard. We ordered 4 plates of oysters all together but our server only brought 2 out. When we asked about our other 2 orders and asked for our bread for the 3rd time, she said it would be right out. Fast forward an hour before we got both of them. We had placed our order long before the tables around us. But the other tables were served. The sad part is we asked multiple staff regarding our food but no help. Yes we did have a party of 13 but didn't think that the service would be so slow. We go to Emory's many times mostly for work meetings and have always had Great service. To top it off we didn't even get to have the birthday dessert we were all looking forward too.

We went last night (Friday) as a group of 9. The place was packed at 5pm. Good thing they have valet parking when the regular lot is full. This was our first time there and I have to say we weren't impressed. We drove a little over an hour to have a nice dinner with the family. Everything seemed to take forever to get, whether it was drinks, coffee or food. My food came out lukewarm. I chose to not complain because we needed to get home by a certain time and it would have just slowed us down. Heck, it took 15 minutes to get a piece of cheesecake to take home. The server, Becca, tried keeping up with us but she fell short. She kept forgetting things. The only thing quick was getting our car back from valet. Lesson learned ....do not go to Emory's on a Friday night, especially around Christmas time.
