Two guests clink an espresso martini and a margarita across a green corner booth at Emmi's, a brass sconce and the lake windows behind them.

Who is Emmi?

Before there was Emmi’s, there were Wisconsin backroads.

Emmi grew up riding those backroads to bustling diners, roadside drive-ins, and lively supper clubs: the clink of glasses, a jukebox playing the old favorites, laughter carrying across the room, and food that was always hearty and always shared.

Her father’s Chicago restaurant, Ed Debevic’s, was famous for its sass and showmanship. Emmi wanted something different: the warmth of the Wisconsin dining rooms she never forgot, with cooking that’s exceptional in both flavor and quality. No gimmicks. Just the restaurant she remembered, built with care on the shore of Lake Geneva.

Meet Emmi

Open Wednesday–Sunday

Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch & Supper

Emmi's covered deck with woven café chairs, looking out over Wrigley Drive to the Lake Geneva piers, moored boats, and the far shore.

300 Wrigley Drive

And yes, it’s right on the lake.

Views of Lake Geneva from every table: the piers, the boats, the far shore. Take a booth in the windows, pull up to the bar, or head out to the covered deck when the weather turns fine. Free reserved parking, and all of downtown just outside the door.

Explore the Lakefront

Familiar food. Serious cooking.

We aren’t interested in making dinner complicated. We’re interested in making it exceptionally good.

  • Hand-battered Wisconsin white cheddar curds and walleye
  • Bread from Simple Bakery for toast and sandwiches
  • Fresh-squeezed orange juice at breakfast
  • House-made pub cheese, tartar sauce, and hot sauce
  • Fresh whipped cream on the pie and the sundae
  • Wisconsin Old Fashioneds, muddled to order: sweet, sour, or press
