| - Food: The menu offers both tapas and entrees. We have been to Silk Elephant multiple times, and each time we ordered entrees with 1-2 tapas as appetizers. The soups and entrees are ordered on a 1-10 spicy scale. The mushroom soup and the Tom Kha are both superb. The fresh rolls are a great vegetarian tapa/appetizer. All entrees we've ordered, from curries to noodles are top notch. We have yet to order dessert. The portions are large enough to fill your belly and bring a little home for the next day. There are plenty of vegetarian options, and the menu is huge in general. Definitely something available for everyone.
Price: The prices are very reasonable. With wine, an appetizer, two entrees and no dessert, two of us ate for just over $50. Entrees, tapas, and soups are all fairly priced.
Drinks: Full bar available, good wine selections, and the tea is fantastic.
Atmosphere: Silk Elephant looks like a ritzy restaurant but feels comfortable. A great place to take a date or your family. The tables are a little too close together in areas. The bathrooms are sparkling clean and the bar is nice. The silverware is pretty cool too.
Service: The service is impeccable. Our water glasses were re-filled, no exaggeration, 15-20 times each. The wait staff checked on every course to see if we liked it or needed anything. The food was delivered at a nice pace that gave us time for each portion but didn't have us eating dinner for 2 hours. Our waitress spoke incredibly quietly though, so you may have to ask her to speak up if you get her.
(+): great service, very tasty food, a variety of choices, nice atmosphere
(-): some tables are too close together
Would I go back again? Absolutely.
