Hi, whenever I browse posts I just find myself seeing a small part of the site’s post. I do not understand if it is caused by my web browser(Safari) or not, anybody else annoyed by this thing?

ok, so i broke down and tried Silk Road for lunch yesterday (only because there really isnt much open for lunch in city center). and as expected it was terrible!!!!!
the place was totally empty, hotel lobby and the restaraunt. the design is really weird for my taste, but it does fit the overall nightclub feel of the entire property (which 10 years ago when they were designing this palce was all the trend!!)
so in a place with only 4 tables sat our table of 4, took almost 2 hours to eat a lunch. not because we were taking our time and kicking back, but because we had to wqit 20 minutes between courses for food!!!
the lunch menu is pretty lame, limited choices.
we tried the beet salad, tuna tartare bites, tomato soup to start, salad was so small and flavorless, the tuna was really nice both in appearance and flavor. the soup was decent enough.
entrees were the kobe hangar steak- over cooked and tough, hamburger-dry meat and not tht great, but ok, truffle gnocchi-which were terrible, they were mushy and the truffle was totally over powered by the gruyere and comte cheeses, and finally the mussels-the broth had no flavor, was colored with safron but did not taste of it, and really didnt have many mussel for an entree portion, was actually smaller then what a app portion should be.
presentations were nice over all, but it was not good. would not recommend and will not be back. service was attentative (better be with 4 tables) but why serve bottled iced tea, what happened to fresh brewed???? even though its republic tea, which is good, but i can see the chef didnt want to carry too many items, since i assume they are running room service to the tower from there as well, as the ketchup and may came out in p/c bottles used in room service!!

if your thinking about silk road, skip it!!!

Finally! City Center pictures!!! Thanks from those of us who haven’t recently traversed the City of Light. Was that cotton candy topping one of the desserts? Space-age dishes at Silk.

clue-

Yeah, it’s bound to happen! With even Orange County and Salt Lake City ahead of us on the “gastropub curve”, we need to do some catching up.

Lorraine-

I can hardly wait to try Silk Road for breakfast! My dinner had its flaws, but overall I think it was a lovely experience. The bintje gnocchi is a great vegetarian dish, even if the portion is on the small side.

I have been there twice for breakfast and have enjoyed delicious blueberry and ricotta pancakes with orange blossom syrup that was heavenly! Another visit, I had the crispy french toast with spiced cider reduction which was a fun and unique interpretation of this breakfast favorite. I can’t wait to go there for dinner!
