Silk-Asian

One of the best ways to visit a variety of restaurants without incurring the large cost is to take advantage of restaurant weeks when they present themselves. During the Midtown Restaurant week, we had the pleasure of visiting Silk. From that moment on we were fans. We made the trip again this year and had another stellar meal.

I must admit, good service can add SO MUCH to the dining experience. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and his attention to detail was wonderful. The decor was great for anything from a small intimate gathering to a large dining event. For those that are virgins to restaurant week, the restaurants participating create a 3 course prixe fixe menu for your enjoyment.

We begin the meal with cocktails. She had the caramel apple martini and I, the Lychee martini (pretty darn good). Our appetizers arrived in short order. I had some lobster bisque. Angela the smoked salmon salad.

The 2ND course came. I had the shrimp egg rolls and Angela had the lamb chops (inspired).

The entrees arrived. I had the surf and turf (shrimp in a curry sauce and a petite fillet) and Angela the Asian pineapple chicken.

This prixe fixe menu did not include desert. This was a good move on there part because it increased the ticket cost for the evening. I had the Green Tea ice cream...not really that impressed. It was vanilla tasting ice cream with a slight Green Tea taste. We shared the dipped figi apples. It was a figi apple dipped in caramel and then dipped in chocolate, drizzled in white chocolate and covered in nuts. All I can say is WOW!!

In conclusion, Silk was a GREAT dining experience. HIGHLY recommended!

NOTE: try one of the candies at the hostess table. Our waiter was Matt Vega- Awesome dude!
