5 Stars: Perfect Trifecta: Food, Ambiance, & Service (by GTdesertkarma)

GTdesertkarma — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 02:00:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: Excellent for Parties!! (by govols7777)

govols7777 — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

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.

4 Stars: Rather nice. (by A. S.)

A. S. — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 23:32:00 GMT

I went here for an anniversary dinner and was overall satisfied. The atmosphere was nice, the wait staff was very friendly and the food was tasty, but expensive for what you got. The desert was AMAZING, though, and it came with a cut orchid on the plate. Very sweet for the occasion. The biggest downfall is that they enforce a bit of a dress code, so if you're wanting to go there for a spontaneous romantic dinner, you have to make sure you're in at least business-casual.

5 Stars: GREAT SEAFOOD!!! (by sue1245)

sue1245 — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 02:00:00 GMT

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 :-)

5 Stars: Excellent Fusion Experience (by JohnGalt63)

JohnGalt63 — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 02:00:00 GMT

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.

My only knock was the restaurant was a bit loud.

5 Stars: LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! (by j32lee)

j32lee — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 02:00:00 GMT

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!

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!

4 Stars: Delicious (by Stacy A.)

Stacy A. — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 15:16:00 GMT

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and is in located in a fun area of town. The service was excellent - both the hostess and our waitstaff. The food was also very good. I was most impressed with the desserts - they have a variety of great desserts.

3 Stars: Just OK (by todd1001)

todd1001 — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

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).

3 Stars: hmmmmm (by junko11)

junko11 — Mon, 12 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

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!

4 Stars: Try the KOBE burger!!! (by matl)

matl — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

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.

3 Stars: Unimpressed (by write2jenni)

write2jenni — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:00:00 GMT

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.

4 Stars: Nice quality place various food options (by BMWGS)

BMWGS — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: Good Value, great seabass (by redhunniedt)

redhunniedt — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: Great Dessert (by Lee W.)

Lee W. — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 13:54:00 GMT

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and is in located in a fun area of town. The service was excellent - both the hostess and our waitstaff. The food was also very good. I tried sushi for the first time in years at this restaurant and had a great experience. I was most impressed with the desserts - they have a variety of great desserts.

5 Stars: Amazing atmosphere, service, food and drinks!! (by warriormuffin)

warriormuffin — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 01:00:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: Nice, upscale restaurant (by Reesa A.)

Reesa A. — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 03:46:00 GMT

This is a cool, upscale, but not too pricy restaurant right in the heart of midtown. They have a variety of continental dinners and some small plates. Their desserts are great too.

3 Stars: Good sushi, high prices (by francesfr)

francesfr — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 02:00:00 GMT

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.

3 Stars: I have not been here but... (by trailmonkey)

trailmonkey — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 02:00:00 GMT

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!!

5 Stars: One of a Kind...simply amazing! (by Citysearch User)

Citysearch User — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I come here all the time. They always have great events and specials. Try the Chilean sea bass for entree and Caramel and Chocolate Fuji apple for dessert.

5 Stars: An EXCELLENT Experience! (by hroffjp)

hroffjp — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: One of my favorites! (by maile2012)

maile2012 — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

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.

2 Stars: Sadly, Silk has turned into a Sow's Ear (by bigredbri2)

bigredbri2 — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

5 Stars: Healthy, fresh sushi and edamame tastes Fabulous. Great atmosphere. (by loislee)

loislee — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: AMAZINGLY SUPERB, I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER RESTAURANT LIKE IT IN ATLANTA! (by itsmemichaelle)

itsmemichaelle — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: Best atmosphere! (by jsatl1)

jsatl1 — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: Fantastic in every way! (by emilyj2)

emilyj2 — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 02:00:00 GMT

This place has awesome atmosphere and unbelievable food. We went on a weeknight around 7:30 and it was practically empty until at least 8:30, so go early if you don't have a reservation. Their menu is unique, but it's not so fancy that real people won't enjoy the food. I am notoriously picky and I loved everything we had. My husband and I can personally highly recommend the surf n' turf and the shrimp & scallops. Save room for the marble cheescake brownie - it's amazing. The service was great, and everyone was very courteous. If we lived in Atlanta we'd eat there as often as we could afford it.

5 Stars: Service outstanding, great atmosphere (by atlvol)

atlvol — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Visited Silk last night and came away very impressed. I had the Elk and it was not gamey and the sauce was excellent and my wife had the special (mediterranean sea bass) which was presented as a whole fish and carved table side. However, the most impressive part was the service--hostess, server, and manager were all right on top of things. I'll be back

1 Stars: Overpriced and Overrated (by madison1489)

madison1489 — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I've been to Silk twice. The food was overpriced and not very good. I love sushi, but their's was NOT FRESH! Take you money elsewhere. Cool interior though.

5 Stars: Best All Around (by dsong3)

dsong3 — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

As you enter Silk, you can't help but be impressed with their decor. The owners definitely know how to set the mood and atmosphere. Just last week I attempted to throw my girlfriend a birthday dinner there. I could not have asked for better service, food, and privacy. They set aside an area within their restaurant which was very private and beautifully decorated. Even though they were busy that night, the host, servers, and owners definitely made this a memorable birthday.

5 Stars: More than just a restaurant.... (by jsshan)

jsshan — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Many restaurants are meant for the sole purpose of eating. However, Silk is more than that. After going to Silk several times, I can easily say that it is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in Atlanta. The interior welcomes each costomer with a stylish decor that it's no wonder why many people, such as myself, enjoy this unique and comforting atmosphere. People come in just to sit at the bar and have a drink with the company of the wonderful people of Atlanta. The food is great! My favorites are all of the steaks! I especially love the rib eye, cooked and served to perfection! But if I feel like eating something a little lighter, the sushi bar is perfect, with a nice variety of different sushi. Of course, what makes Silk really stand out is all the amazing events. From fashion shows to magazine parties, Silk has it all! Great food, great service, great style, and great entertainment!

5 Stars: great atmosphere!... great unique menu!... (by sh1nju)

sh1nju — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

im usually more of a bbq and good old american burger type of guy... and i only occasionally go out to fancy restaurants like silk... my experience there was pretty cool... when you walk into silk its definitely one of a kind. you feel really comfortable in there and not intimidated like you would at some other nice restaurants. the dining is very relaxed while at the same time very upscale. the bathrooms are pretty cool too... i had steak and it was great.. so were the mashed potatoes (both had an asian twist to them - the potatoes had a hint of wasabi - surprisingly really good!).. i was expecting to pay a fortune but it wasnt too bad and i would definitely go again (esp if i wanted to impress someone and not go overboard)... A++

5 Stars: Attentive servers (by yllin)

yllin — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I live 2 blocks away from it, so I frequent Silk often. The service is impeccable. The waiters are knowledgable about the menu, and always service with a smile. But beware the sushi takes a while when it is busy, but it is definitely worth the wait. And I actually never had a problem with the quality of the sushi, always fresh. O yah, my favorite dish is the kobe burger. Try it, you won't be sorry.

3 Stars: If this was an episode of Top Chef whomever made the sushi rolls would be eliminated (by leighlay)

leighlay — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

The manager was really nice. Our sever was nice - but not very knowledgable about the wines. It took him forever to bring our wine to us - then we finally got some water. The sushi rolls were oblong and falling apart. I've rolled better rolls at home. I'm writing this review in hopes that they'll speed up the servers and get somebody who can actually roll sushi. I like the place though - i'll be back and hopefully the sushi will be better.

5 Stars: Great food and fantastic service (by alexcogee)

alexcogee — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

My experience here at Silk was awesome. The food was great, friendly service and an excellent atmosphere to go hang out with some friends. Try to Kobe steak burger, its fantastic fantastic fantastic.

5 Stars: Smooth As "Silk" (by jaymaygm)

jaymaygm — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 02:00:00 GMT

While I'm a big fan of Silk's sister restaurant, Pacific Rim Bistro, this was my first time in. Tried previoulsy, but someone's auto was out of control, and smashed into the entrance, and they were closed briefly. Upon entering, I was greated by one of the most beautiful and charming Asian woman, I've ever seen. She was wrearing a tan Chanel suit, and yes, made of silk. She led us to our booth, with silk cushions, and a fresh orchid on the table. The interior is very elegant, with a loft feel. Our server was outstanding, and explained several choices on the menu.

We started with the Seafood Tower. Pure heaven. My partner ordered the Chilean Sea Bass in miso broth. I had the grilled snapper, with ponzo sauce and fresh Asian vegetables. Two of the best Asian-Fusion dishes we have ever had. How could it get any better. Well it did. For desert we split the Mt. Fugi Apple. It was sliced at the table, and drizzled in dark and white chocolate. I wanted to stay all night. We will be back soon, very soon!

5 Stars: food, atmosphere, service-- spectacular!! (by ilovegoodfood78)

ilovegoodfood78 — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 02:00:00 GMT

If your looking for a great place to eat, you have to try Silk. You must try their fried sea bass. It is a mouth-watering dish that makes you beg for more. Also, if your just looking for a good time, the people their are awesome!

5 Stars: Swank and Fun, a great dining experience (by twigster)

twigster — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Brought my girlfriend here the other night to have a nice dinner before heading to the movies at Atlantic station. I've passed by the restaurant many times as I'm a frequent diner at Noodles.

I'll have to admit. I'm not really into the whole "Asian Fusion" type scene as I usually like my asian food traditional. But after a few recommendations and reading the reviews on city search i decided to give the restaurant a try. First thing you notice is how well designed the restaurant is. A trendy open atmosphere greets you as soon as you walk in the door ( My date loved it ). The wait was minimal, and the hostess quick to greet. While we were waiting, the manager overhead my girlfriend and Is conversation about what to after the movie and came over and gave us recommendations and apparently made my girlfriends day commenting on how wonderful her shoes were (. Women).

At the recommendation of our waiter we got the crab croquettes for the appetizer which I ended up getting a second order. My date got the lobster bisque, which she said was good but ended up eating most of my second crab croquettes order. For dinner I ordered the Sea Bass from the recommendations here. Stasya ended up ordering a sushi plate (forgot the exact name)

While the croquettes were good the seabass was delicious. Smooth, soft, and buttery, a winner in my book. My date enjoyed the sushi but we will have to visit another time so I can try some myself before I can give my opinion. Our waiter wasn't the quickest I ever had but he was friendly and attentive.

Overall, great experience, a perfect place to have a fulfilling dinner before a night out on the town. Parking is free (validated) and its located right down the streen from Atlantic Station. While my Asian Fusion bias cannot let me recommend the restaurant if you are looking for a traditional asian meal. I can definitely recommend Silk if you are looking for a great dining experience.

5 Stars: exquisite (by baechukimchi)

4 Stars: Enjoyable (by ben_neville)

ben_neville — Mon, 26 Jun 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I went early on a saturday night around 6:00. It was not crowded whatsoever, and missing my reservation at 5:45 was not a big deal. Valet parking was right next door down 8th street and cost $5.00. We were greeted nicely. The separate meal/drink waiter system failed though. Our drink waiter never showed up, but our regular waiter was on it and did his job for him. My date and I both chose to eat off of the pre-theater menu which allows for 3 courses for $27.00. I would say that it was reasonably priced. I had the surf and turf which was excellent, and my date ate sushi which she enjoyed. The only thing we had that was unsatisfactory was the fried dumplings. The decor was nice and added to the upscale feel. The dinner was presented very well on the plate. Loudness was not an issue, however, it was not very crowded. The chairs were extremely noisy on the wood floor though. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and would recommend it.

5 Stars: PAN_TASTIC!!: (by kelentlo)

kelentlo — Wed, 31 May 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Now here is an untold secret!!! I have been in the Atlanta area for over 2 years, and I am quite amazed I found such a diverse and delightful resturant! The menu was completely fabulous with items such as the Chilean Sea Bass, Red Snapper, and Seafood tower! The food was the absolute best I've ever tasted. The Chef takes much pride in the preparation and flavor of the Steaks, which I highly recommend!! He even spices things up a bit by adding a GAME-OF-THE-DAY, for example the WILD BOAR or the OSTERICH--both extremely marelous!! I can't believe this place has been her this long !!!!!!!! GO CHECK IT OUT!!!

5 Stars: silky smooth (by restaurant_fanatic)

restaurant_fanatic — Tue, 30 May 2006 02:00:00 GMT

The atmosphere at Silk can be described by no other word than magical. The only thing more magical than the atmosphere is the menu. Its comprised of a variety of appetizers and Entr'ees that leaves everyone who eats at Silk with a new favorite dish. Personally, my favorite is the sea bass. Do yourself a favor and reward yourself with a night at Silk.

5 Stars: Best New Menu (by carly429)

carly429 — Wed, 17 May 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Silk ever since they opened and am ecstatic about their new menu which features a Basil Shrimp pasta, Kobe Steak, Chilean Sea Bass and a Lobster Bisque that is out of this world. The wine list is great and the servers are friendly and professional. Overall I would rate this restaurant an 11 out of 10.

1 Stars: Terrible service, terrible food (by jprdld)

jprdld — Mon, 15 May 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I definitely do not recommend Silk. The waiter knew nothing about the menu. Before I ordered the stuffed duck breast, I asked him what it was stuffed with. He told me it was stuffed with a spinach mixture. Turns out it was stuffed with liver. Besides that the duck tasted extremely gamey. The lobster tail was like rubber and the mashed potatoes could have been instant potatoes. Not worth the $$$

5 Stars: Great food & service! (by plumeria21)

1 Stars: Worst Service in Atlanta (by jhutchinson)

jhutchinson — Sat, 25 Mar 2006 01:00:00 GMT

After waiting for the valet for 10 minutes, I headed inside while my husband looked for parking. I asked the hostess about the valet. She said it takes a long time they have to go up and down some stairs. The restaurant clearly was aware of the delays.

The waitstaff was totally inattentive. It took 10 minutes for our waitress to come. Twenty minutes after the menu was explained, we flagged down someone to take our order. We mentioned that our waitress had not been back. There was no apology or offer to follow up with her. Our cocktails arrived when our dinner did. The food was cold. No one checked on us. We finished our dinner and waited for a dessert menu but we were never offered one. Finally we flagged down someone to bring us a check. This is the worst service we've had in Atlanta.

1 Stars: Customer Service is a foreign language here (by skaybrown)

skaybrown — Sun, 19 Mar 2006 01:00:00 GMT

The management is extremely rude;don't understand the philosophy of "customer service".

The important concept here everyone must meet their $20/person minimum. Our bill was about $400 and the manager made it a point to come over and tell us one person did not meet their minimum even though we averaged about $35/person. She told us that we need to read the menu about the minimum which is located on the last page. She also said that since the minimum was not met by one, she would not want us to come back. How Rude!

Oh yeah, you better like what you order and get a clear understanding of how the dish is prepared b/c the manager will tell you the next time you go to a restaurant you need to tell the waitress what you like and dont like, its not our responsible to tell you whats in a dish.

I took a date here and I'm very happy with the place... It was actually quite loud, but this just gave me an excuse to sit right next to my date instead of across the table. Which worked out great. The food was awesome. I had the seared tuna and it just melts in your mouth.

After dinner we took a walk down to the grape to have an after dinner drink. The area where SILK is located makes it easy to just park your car and have plenty of different entertainment options.
I would highly recommend SILK.

The Sushi from this place is awesome, I've tried it once or twice! And the manager is beautiful and funny!

5 Stars: Great Drinks! (by tewligan)

The cocktail selections at Silk are amazing. On several occasions I've tried different drinks at Silk. Most recently, the Forbidden City Fruit Punch, Silk's "East Meets West" Sangria. I was told the secret ingredient is Pomegranate juice. It's unbelievably delicious, and packs quite a punch! The wine selections are even more amazing. Some types I had never heard of, for example Torrontes from Argentina or Viura from Spain. Obscure as they are, they seem perfectly suited for the cuisine. Many selections by the glass also!

5 Stars: Excellent Food and the Best Hamburger in Town (by arollin)

I have eaten at Silk several times both for lunch and dinner and each meal has exceeded expectations. The fish dishes have wonderful robust flavors that you often dont see in many of Atlantas other fusion/Asian restaurants. However, the best find at Silk is the burger for lunch. The kobe beef burger, while not cheap, is the best burger not just in the city but anywhere. It comes on a traditional bun and is served with cheese and a marinade that is outstanding. Go out of your way to try this burger, it is that good.

My husband and I travel and have had some of the best meals in the U.S. But we both recommend Silk above the others. We went this weekend again and he had surf and turf and I had Kobe steak. Everything was fantastic. The apple dessert is to die for.

1 Stars: tasteless & anything but fresh (by fairyfish)

fairyfish — Sat, 30 Apr 2005 02:00:00 GMT

Silk advertises fresh...however; fresh is far from what they serve.

The crab legs tasted like sawdust and were obviously previously frozen for awhile. The Sea Bass which at a recommendable restaurant would have been light and flaky...was like an old rubber shoe.
Not to mention the portions left alot to be desired for the price.

The atmosphere was aesthetically pleasing but so loud you couldn't hear the person in front of you.

The service...two people supposedly waiting on us...
The drink server didn't show up to offer us a drink until the food was in front of us.
After my boyfriend finished 2/3 of his cocktail the server removed the glass without permissioin and then never showed back up to offer another!

Not eating but a few bites of our horrible meals we left hungry with $130 less and a memory of the worst restaurant experience in Atlanta!

1 Stars: Service is NOT a priority... (by jlh25)

jlh25 — Thu, 14 Apr 2005 02:00:00 GMT

The management and owner are extremely rude and do not grasp the simple philosophy of "customer service". They are more intent on making you feel like a second-class citizen that should be thankful to have stepped into their establishment and presence, as opposed to ensuring that it's a pleasurable experience. Highly disappointing and just plain appalling. Bottom line - DON'T GO and tell your friends/ enemies not to go!

Ps if you order a dish that tastes like crap, be prepared to be told by the manager that its your fault b/c you didnt read the menu or ask questions. If the menu had read seafood is not fresh and will taste every bit like its been sitting at the back door for a week..I would not have ordered it!

2 Stars: Not impressed. (by jw9465)

It sure was nice to look at, but of 2 of 10 orders in our group were wrong, 1 was just bad, the food (which took forever) was nothing spectacular, & the handwashing station was impossible. Just not worth it...

2 Stars: Disappointing experience (by scw)

scw — Wed, 13 Apr 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I dined at Silk last night with a group of 10 20 something girlfriends. We were looking forward to going to Silk because we heard good reviews; however, our experience was rather disappointing. The service was ok, but the food was very slow to come out and one of my friends actually had to get up to refill her own water. I had the Seared Tuna and it was good, but would have been better catergorized as cooked tuna, only a very small area of the middle was rare. It was not a good value for the price of the food, there are many other resturants in Atlanta that are much better.

5 Stars: Excellent food (by lililadaga_citysearch)

Silk has a very NYC/L.A. type of vibe--late dinner reservations (ours were for 10:30pm, a sleek and modern space, and the patrons are mostly young and hot. The bar area is separated from the dining area by a low wall and draperies hanging from the ceiling. You can smoke in the bar area and besides the bar seating, there's an open space with couch seating and table. At dinner, our server was quick, helpful and pleasant, despite the fact that we had a large group. Everyone at our table enjoyed their entrees, which included a varied range: chicken, sushi, steak, seafood, etc. The wine list was excellent as well. The only element that was a little off-putting was the volume--it's a wide, open dining room with high ceilings and concrete floors, so when the room was filled, it got fairly loud.

1 Stars: Extremely poor food and service (by flu33ys)

flu33ys — Fri, 25 Feb 2005 01:00:00 GMT

The food was frozen, not fresh as described by the waiter and the hostess/manager confirmed this when we complained. The crab legs and lobster tail were dry and tasted much like old rubber in addition to the portion sizes being miniscule. Also, The two-server system they use is very ineffecient. Our food waiter was very polite and offered great service, but the drink waiter was nowhere to be found. It took 15 minutes to get our first drink and that was after we asked for it. I sat with an empty drink glass for the rest of the night despite repeated inquiries.

Our legitimate complaints were not accommodated by the Manager, nor did she offer to substitute the dishes for something else. The ambience was ok, but it's simply too loud. Save your $ and hit another spot... I know we'll never be back.

2 Stars: Disappointed (by lesken)

lesken — Sat, 15 Jan 2005 01:00:00 GMT

The crab coquette- excellent, spring rolls- mediocre, wok tossed calamari- awful. The lobster bisque, yuk. Three of us ordered lobster after server recommendation. In addition to being scammed on the price (were told it was 4 pounds and we were charged for a 5.5 pound, a difference of nearly $40), it was not great. Were told it would be partially removed from the shell, it was not. I don't mind paying $140 for a lobster dinner, I do not expect to have to shell it myself for that price. On the positive, one person ordered the lamb and was very pleased. As well, the Mt. Fuji Apple was scrumptious! We had two men that were serving us, one very well intended but not very good, and another who seemed disinterested in what he was doing. We had to ask for refills three times and were given the wrong drink twice.

A reasonable effort...sushi was fresh and well prepared---I thought it was noisy in the place though

This dining experience was well worth every dime spent. I started out with a large party and the hostess was more than understanding about it's continuing fluctuating numbers. I highly enjoyed the lobster bisque, Kobe steak, and the sushi was to die for. I will most certainly come back to Silk sometime in the near future. Service and food were both outstanding. The ambiance just added to the whole experience. A wonderful modern day restaurant in a comfortable atmosphere.

The ambiance is wonderful ... the staff was exceptional and it was comforting seeing the presence of the managers at all times ensuring everyone was having a great time and to top it all off ... the BEST sushi in Atlanta!

This place is a visual feast as well as a gustatory delight! Steaks like you've never had before because you can customize the flavor with special 'rubs'. I like the blue cheese one. My favorite sushi is called Out of Control. Its spicy tuna rolled in rice then topped with smoked eel with a drop of Hoisin sauce to sweeten. mmm.
