My visit to Silver Dragon was on a late Friday night and we chose it because, well, it was one of the only places left that was open and probably wouldn't have had a ton of obnoxious drunk people to contend with.
Lo and behold, I was right. The first thing I noticed was how different silver dragon is from the other Chinese restaurants I've visited. We were greeted warmly and our server wore a classy, if not retro Vegas-y uniform. We were given water immediately and a few minutes later our order was taken. Our table shared the salt and pepper squid, the veggie chow mein and stir fried veg.
The S&P squid was decent. Instead of bing spiced with hot pepper flakes it came served under jalapeƱo peppers and onions. The squid was crunchy but lacked any saltiness. The noodles and veg were pretty standard too, but I swear our veg was cooked in GASP! . . . Butter!
Despite the fact we were the only table left when we were at the end of our meal, no one gave us the stank eye to encourage us to leave. They gave us the bill when we asked for it.
