Restaurant Review – Emory’s on Silver Lake

Last night’s dinner was at Emory’s on Silver Lake. It’s a great restaurant that combines both a casual atmosphere with great food. You can dress up for a special occasion and eat inside, or come right from a walk around the lake in shorts and a tee shirt, sit on the patio overlooking the lake, and feel comfortable and get the same impeccable and friendly service. They offer early three course dinner specials, happy hour specials, and a diverse menu featuring high quality steak and seafood. I got their prime rib early dinner special. $20 got me a nice salad, their famous bread with herbed olive oil to dip, a perfectly cooked 8 oz piece of prime rib served with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed broccoli rabe, and a little strawberry shortcake. All while watching the sun play off a beautiful lake. I started to feel a bit guilty watching a dog and his family play on the beach, and ended up having the waiter box up my strawberry shortcake to go, which he did very graciously, so I could get back home to Emma. I’ll definitely return to Emory’s – great food, great location, great atmosphere, and fair prices.
