What People Are Saying About Silk

In Short
The black, white and tan decor seductively combines Asian minimalism and luxe details; simple lamp shades are covered with shimmering seashells, walls are sculpted to mimic the texture of rumpled silk. Small groups occupy black leather booths and couples dine at romantic candlelit tables. Waiters in Mandarin-collared silk jackets present elegant dishes including grilled salmon salad rolls and caramelized prawns in taro root nests. Filet mignon cubes are served over watercress and a mango-passion fruit mousse.

This is the most consistent restaurant I've been to In Portland. They serve their version of the most asked for Vietnamese dishes. Although it may not be "authentic", they have added a "twist" to several dishes that are very clever. It is a beautiful place with pleasant, helpful staff. They also use the best quality ingredients. My only complaint is not being served enough mint and cilantro.

Perhaps my favorite restaurant in Portland. Everything I have tried so far has been terrific. I've eaten there more than any other restuarant in Portland and have yet to be disappointed. This last week I went twice for lunch and was pleased both times. The only small complaint is that sometimes the entrees come out before the apps, but as I was dining with small children in tow they did say that they tell the kitchen to bring it up as soon as possible when kids are involved so not a big deal and it did keep the kids happy. Highly recommended. If I could I'd eat there all the time....

We found a little insect which I can't name but starts with a "c" in our salad and they only offered to buy the one meal not mine as well. I'm not sure what else is scurrying around in the kitchen.
