This restaurant is not open for business. We made a reservation for last night (for 6)and when we arrived the restaurant has been gutted and was not an operating business. We had put a credit card down through Olen Table to hold the reservation as required- hopefully we don’t get charged. It would have been considerate of this business to NOT take reservations when they are not operating.

The food and drinks were very good, and the service was excellent. The crab bisque was delicious, and the green curry was one of the best I’ve had.

Very unique dishes! Korean bbq wings, lemongrass crab bisque, and mango cheesecake were all absolutely delicious. Service was very good, yet ambience was lacking a bit. As our table was in a back room that was not completely finished. There was just a small area for other diners to squeeze between our table and some spare stools to get to the restroom. Would definitely recommend and most likely we will have a return visit and just sit at the bar!

This used to be an amazing place, but the main menu gets worse every. the new chef has replaced the rice that is meant to go with Curry with some weird tasting basmati and Kitrhci rices that fight with the curry flavors instead of lettting you soak up and enjoy the sauce. They have removed all of the dishes tey admit were the favorites of the locals. The new “busienss advisors/partners” consistently lie and are ruining what was a great place to hang. come for drinks and the amazing service at the bar but skip anything but the appetizers. they have ruined all the mains, and gutted the main room which now seems sterile, obnoxiously loud and like it had a concept that they ran out of money 6 hours into starting to execute. Sigh.

I went to silk road with a friend to enjoy the restaurant week menu. We split the chicken tikka masala and the honey chili shrimp. Both dishes were excellent, the chili shrimp was pretty spicy and I love spicy. The lemongrass crab bisque was also delicious, it was probably my favorite part of the meal, creamy and full of crab. I finished my meal with the white chocolate mango cheesecake. It was a refreshing and delicious sweet treat. I'm a mango and cheesecake lover so it was a perfect ending to the meal. I will definitely return!

We’ve probably been by this little gem many times but never noticed it! Thank goodness they had a restaurant week special! An eclectic space with more seating than you’d think and a very interesting menu! We’ll be back!
