Perfect Trifecta: Food, Ambiance, & Service

by GTdesertkarma at Citysearch

As a group of four, we dined at Silk looking for a nice up-scale restaurant with good food. We were not disappointed...

As a chef of Chinese cuisine I appreciate how some people find fusion-style pan-Asian to be "sacrilege" to traditional dishes. Silk completely destroys that notion with their combination of high quality ingredients, fantastic flavors, and impeccable presentation. You also never feel shorted on the food. Whether it is the Tiger-class shrimp, sea scallops (I don't know where they were from - but they were about the largest I have ever seen), or cuts of fish or steak, they are always generous portions.

The ambiance is excellent because it is quiet enough to have a romantic evening for two, but also loud enough that you feel privacy - which makes it a good environment for larger groups to attend as well (you will not feel restrained from having lively conversation). The service is what you would expect for a restaurant of this caliber: very courteous, attentive, and helpful.

Appetizer Recommendations: Grilled Duck Gyoza (potstickers), Tom Yum Mussels, Beer-Battered Sea Bass.

Entree Recommendations: Thai-style seafood noodles (spicy!), Chilean Sea Bass (I blame Silk because I may now have a new favorite fish over Swordfish), and the Triple Filet (my favorite entree).

Bon Appetit!

• Pros: Fantastic fusion-style asian cuisine
• Cons: Price - IT IS WORTH IT THOUGH!

Excellent for Parties!!

I threw my girlfriend a surprise birthday party here and Anna and her stuff were absolutely phenomental. Anna was great about coming up with an excellent menu that worked for my proposed budget. The staff was great and helped pull off the surprise perfectly. I received rave reviews from our guests and the guest of honor on the food, the room, the staff. As critical as I can be, I could not have asked for anything more. Thanks so much.

I highly recommend Silk for private parties and I can't wait to go back and have a sit down dinner there very soon.

GREAT SEAFOOD!!!

I LOVE sushi and seafood, and have had some of the best all over the country! However, I did not have sushi here so I can't comment on the sushi. However, I did have the salmon dish and jumbo shrimp and scallops and both those dishes were AMAZING! And the drinks are also very good. You've got to try the Lychee Martini :-)

• Pros: DELICIOUS SEAFOOD
• Cons: PRICE is high, but worth it!
