Silk Restaurant

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! more

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

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! more

Diner at Silk was one of the best experiences of my recent trip to Atlanta. The Chilean Sea Bass is one of the most exquisite fish dishes I've ever experienced. My wife had lamb that was expertly prepared and exceptionally flavorful. Even 'common' appetizers of lobster bisque and tempura fried oysters were uncommonly prepared demonstrating the chef's flair. The outstanding presentation and superb service, were topped off with a frosted chocolate mousse cake that was cold, firm, and deeply flavored with rich, raw cocoa.\r \r My only knock was the restaurant was a bit loud.\r Pros: Excellent flavorable food, great service Cons: Loud more

i love this restaurant!! not only is the food mouth watering and creative, the staff is very welcoming and professional. every dish i have tried has been delicious and you walk out of there satisfied! i only wish we were closer to the city so i could dine here more often! you have to try this place, it's the best asian fushion in atlanta!!!! you ll even be blown away by their dessert!\r \r if you want to take a friend or a newly aquaintance out on a ""date"" i highly recommend doing a light lunch - their lunch specials are fantastic and very tasty! overall this restuarant is delicious, classy, and reasonably priced! you can't ask for anything more!\r \r more

Went for lunch. The dining room was less than half full. We had to wait to order for 10 minutes. Appetizers took 10 minutes to come out too. A little slow for weekday lunch - especially when they were not busy. The calamari was great - very good batter used. The mini Kobe burgers we ok - I would get something else if I went back. Overall, it lived up to what most of the real reviews described (not the fake 5 star reviews that are obviously an insider). Pros: Great Calamari Cons: Slow Service more

just a japanese restaurant among the rest. nothing special. i finished my food but i was exremely hungry. the reviews are VERY exagerated. if you are a true sushi eater like i am, and you know the difference of good sushi and bad sushi, this is not a highly reccomended place. the service was good though! Pros: good service Cons: sushi was not true more

After hearing about Silk for awhile, my sister and I decided to give it a try. Walking into the restaurant, we were in awe by the beautiful design of the restaurant. It was very clean and the manager greeted us right away. For my meal, I ordered the Kobe burger. I would have to say it was the most juicy and flavorful burger I had ever tasted. I don't think I could go back to eating another burger after that. For dessert, we ordered the mango creme brulee. I loved it! Overall I had a great experience and I would definitely recommend Silk to my friends. Pros: Kobe burger, mango creme brulee, ambience Cons: parking more

Living not far from Silk, this is a restaurant I've been wanting to try for a while. My boyfriend and I went last night, and while the atmosphere and service was good, the food was less than satisfying. If you're looking for good sushi, this is not the place to go. Nakato is excellent and is not too far from Silk....if you're up for a longer drive, Circle Sushi in Roswell is also really good. The rolls we ordered were falling apart, and the entree was so covered in the sauce that accompanied it that it was totally unenjoyable. Overall, I would say this place is fine for the drinks/bar/atmosphere, but if you're looking for fine dining you won't find it here. Pros: Ambience Cons: Food more

Four of us went to Silk on a Saturday evening. Because of the recent snow the place was empty. We had drinks at the bar. The Elena martini was great. The bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a round private booth with drapes for the party and we loved it. I would recommend requesting it. The appetizers were really the highlight. We enjoyed the seabass, tempura oysters, and spring rolls. I wouldn't order the oysters again but the other two were amazing. We ordered three sushi rolls which were also delicious. I liked the fantastic and the kobe roll the best. We ordered two bottles of Sancerre and sparkling water. The whole bill for all four of us was only $200 ($240 after tip). We thought this was definitely worth the $$$ based on the excellent service, the fair value of the wine, and we were stuff when we left. The bathrooms are interesting as well. I like the communal sink. The restaurant was a smash with our guests. Pros: The tempura sea bass and wine selection Cons: none I can think of. more

Wanted sushi and was headed to Fune but went to the front door and Fune was closed. Headed up the street to silk to give it a try. Silk was enjoyable had good rolls and the chef sashimi was okay. Nice place to go if someone in your party doesn't want sushi steak options and other things available. I will go back. Great Service! Pros: Service and interesting menu Cons: Okay Sushi more

We just had the pleasure of dining at Silk during our first trip to Atlanta. We absolutely LOVED it! The service was absolutely impeccable (ask for Richard). The menu was beautiful and offered a diverse selection of foods that would suit just about anyone's palate. The drink menu was out of this world and had some really fun choices. We decided to make our evening consist of Asian Tapas and some sushi so that we could get a real idea of what they had to offer, and we were extremely happy with everything we had. Definitely not to miss are the peach sparkling martini, the chili shrimp, the grilled duck dumplings and the lobster sushi. Even the restaurant design was impeccable and unique. Parking was easy and validated for you. We will definitely be back! This restuarant is not to be missed! Pros: everything Cons: Not getting to go more than once more

Been here several times on various occasions since they've been open. Always the same experience except prices seem to be higher than ever. The food is definitely good and the atmosphere cool and modern. If you are interested in a seeing and be seen environment at an Asian fusion restaurant serving nice cocktails and good sushi this is ideal on the weekends. Please be warned the prices are not moderate, they are high. The food items are good, not great nor exceptional. The service has always been spotty and somewhat pretentious. Location is great as it's located near other restaurants and shops. It would not be a disappointment to try this restaurant unless you were concerned about getting your money's worth. Dress to impress or you might get the cold shoulder. Pros: location, decor, good food Cons: value, pretentious more

All of the 5 star reviewers have only reviewed ONE restaurant. This one! I'm a little wary of whose these people, or this person may be!! more

Last night my three friends and I had one of the best dinners ever at Silk. The service was just so wonderful and the food was simply amazing. We all had something different and each plate came out looking like art! The tastes of Asian infused sauces only enhanced the food. Anyone looking to actually go out and dine needs to try this place! We will be back and are glad to have found Silk. more

I absolutely adore this restaurant. The service is outstanding and the food......fantastic! The menu is a pure treat with a variety of food selections from sushi to kobe steaks/burgers to amazing seafood dishes and not to mention a fantastic bar menu for those looking for a lighter fare for the evening. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that is looking for an extraordinary experience.......you won't be disappointed. \r \r more

Silk used to be wonderful. We have been 10+ times over the last three years, and while the initial experiences were great, the recent ones have been a disaster.\r \r Worse though is that the concept seems to be fizzling. The (formerly great) signature lobster special is now off the menu. The sushi omakase, which I ordered for the first time last night because I was in the mood for something light, was an exercise in menu deception. Instead of having the promised ""selection of the freshest sushi the chef has to offer"" I was presented with four courses, only one of which was fish! A hot soup with cooked fish, hot cooked crab with aioli over scallops in the shell, (the so-so sushi course), and the, the piece de resistance, a dish of (allegedly) Kobe beef meatballs. \r \r I could not have been more shocked when the meatballs were delivered, and as I was about to eat it, the manager came to the table and asked how things were going. I told him (and I had not yet reached the complaint stage) that I was not expecting to be served meatballs. His reply: ""Yes, it is a nice surprise, isn't it?"" Under my breath -- ""No."" I begin eating the meatballs, and after two bites, I begin sharing my partner's dinner of king crab legs and cold mashed potatoes.\r \r When I expressed my displeasure with the omakase in general to the same manager, he said that he would ""take it off"" the bill. He did not, he merely deducted three-eighths of the price. I guess he determined that I was five-eighths satisfied. You should have seen my cartoon-style double-take at the entry of ""Omakase Kobe Beef"" on the bill.\r \r We have been recommending Silk to intown friends, OTP voyagers, and out-of-town guests for years. These recommendations will now cease. As great new Midtown restaurants have opened, Silk has lagged behind and been lapped.\r \r Note: if you go, enjoy the great remnants of the wine list developed by sommelier Gregg, who has left, probably recognizing that Silk has seen better days. Pros: Interesting wine list developed by a now departed sommelier Cons: Pretension not worthy of the price. Oblivious, if not ambivalent, management. more

Sushi is one of my favorite foods and it not only looks good but tastes good at Silk restaurant. I also enjoyed the atmosphere and the Fashion Show while eating at the same time. That's cool! more

My girlfriend and I went here for our Valentines dinner and it was absolutely amazing, I keep raving about this place to everyone, I love it. Great food, fair price, awesome atmosphere, great service, variety of asian/american food and sushit and it was delicious, not too loud but not to quiet, not to dark but not to bright. I can't explain in words how great this place is, just go and expierience it yourself. Ask for the Kobe Burger! Pros: Free parking in covered and gated deck, just get your ticket validated, KOBE BURGER Cons: not really a place for kids more

Went to Silk this weekend and strongly reccommend it to anyone! It had the best atmosphere, from excellent service where you feel as if you are the most important guest to amazing decor throughout the restaurant. The food was also impressive and of great quality. The combination of all these qualities made it an enjoyable evening that I would definitely reccommend to everyone! Pros: service, atmosphere, and great food more
