Lake views from every table
Emmi's sits at 300 Wrigley Drive, in the Harbor Shores on Lake Geneva building on the lakefront in downtown Lake Geneva. The dining room is wrapped in windows, so the lake is part of the meal wherever you land — the piers, the boats coming and going, the far shore across the water. Ask for the big corner booth if it's free — windows on two sides, and room enough for the whole table.
Out on the deck
When the Wisconsin weather cooperates, our covered outdoor deck wraps the corner of the building with café tables under the eaves — shade when you want it, lake air the whole time. It's a fine place for a mimosa in the morning or an Old Fashioned before dinner.
Breakfast, brunch, lunch & dinner on the water
We're open Wednesday through Friday 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturday 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and Sunday 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and closed Monday and Tuesday. Breakfast runs until 2 PM: Bratwurst Benedict, Norwegian waffles, an herb soft scramble, and buttermilk pancakes, with mimosas and proper supper club Bloody Marys alongside. Midday and evening it's Emmi's Cheeseburger, the wedge salad, fried Wisconsin cheese curds, peppercorn steak frites, walleye meunière, and hand-battered fish & chips — Friday night fish fry, any night of the week.
Have a look at the full food menu and drinks menu, or the kids menu if you're bringing small fries along.
Arriving by boat
Spending the day on the water? Emmi's sits directly across the street from the main boat launch in downtown Lake Geneva, with boat drop-off access and boat parking nearby. Tie up, walk over, and trade the sun for a booth by the window.
Steps from the Riviera and downtown
Park once and walk. Everything below is along the water or a block off it, with walking times from our front door:
- Flat Iron Park · 5 minutes (0.2 mi)
- The Riviera, Riviera Beach and the Lake Geneva Cruise Line docks · 6 minutes (0.3 mi)
- Main Street shops at Broad Street · 7 minutes (0.3 mi)
- Library Park and the Geneva Lake Shore Path · 10 minutes (0.4 mi)
Breakfast before a morning cruise, lunch between shops, or an Old Fashioned after a walk on the Shore Path: it's all an easy stroll from here.
