This place deserves five stars uncontested and it's ridiculous that it doesn't have that. This is THE most beautiful atmosphere for a restaurant for miles. Gorgeous florals, statues, art, windows; they have a bar and in the pack a dimly lit dinner area where they had a JAZZ PIANIST playing, and I kid you not, The Sound of Silence, Lean on Me, and other favorites that my inner kid was just jamming to and my existing adult was like...what kind of uber-complex augmented whatever chord was that? I know this is weird as well, but the lighting was perfect. I hate bright lights or dull, yellow lights on their last legs . The server was AMAZING; subtly pushed me to make dad jokes, which I gladly made when I realized what the aim was here. She was super sweet, and she knew I would be back. I will! The food? Oh man, the food. That was the PERFECT amount to feel full without an ounce of hunger, and it was beautifully presented too with a little bit of coconut creme to make a gorgeous flourish. The rice, of course, was flawless. They have a wide selection of original dishes which is why I come back to restaurants, so I will be back. Drink selection is great and they update it a lot which will also keep me returning. I have to say though, the decoration here is enviable and it is just GORGEOUS inside. On the expensive side, but as someone who does a lot of the same things, IT IS NECESSARY for what you get. They do amazing things with that money; funding jazz pianists, coming up with new dishes, making it truly stunning inside. Worth every cent.I hope they only get the right clientele who understand that and notice their serious excellence only. That is my wish for them. Happy to say they keep it fresh and new enough without changing the old, time-tested standards that I am absolutely certain I'll be back. Would rate it 6/5 stars if it I could. Wish people like this could run everything as long as the employees are happy (they seem like they are, I really adored my server). Doing what I can within my own boundaries for amazing...
Read moreI got lunch here with a friend one weekend afternoon. The Silver Spoon is a very fun place to be. The painting inside is very bright and festive. I also enjoy the large fish tank. There is a baby grand piano near a sign that says “live music”. There was no live music playing when I ate there but it’d be worth calling up to find out when the pianist will be playing. The tables are very clean, as is the silverware. The seating is extremely comfortable with cushions excellent for back support. For my meal, I got chicken pad thai with extra vegetables ($14). Whenever I get pad thai anywhere, I always ask for extra vegetables to ensure I am not just stuck with meat and noodles—this has happened before! The noodles were the perfect consistency for devouring. The chicken was cooked to a delightful level where it was quite tender in my mouth. The vegetables of broccoli, carrot, squash, onion, and bok choy were all stir-fried to a soft state. I liked how many of the vegetables had crinkle-cut around the edges. I have seen this at many Asian restaurants and think it must be some special vegetable slicing tool that creates this fun effect. I am a huge fan of broccoli, and the broccoli here did not disappoint. It was very scrumptious and had a good bite to it while still being soft. To my dismay, there were also mushrooms mixed in, which I ate around. Had I known there would have been mushrooms in the dish, I would have requested they be left out. The peanut sauce was fully absorbed by the entirety of the dish so the flavor impact was not hindered in any way. On the raw side, there was peanut pieces, cabbage, and bean sprouts. I personally like to mix everything together so each bite is a combination...
Read moreA nice clean cozy restaurant with a bar separating from the dinning area. Plenty of parking around the area, but nothing hit the spot for me here. I went during lunch time, took a while before the server acknowledged me as he waved me to a seat while the restaurant only had a few guests. I ordered a bowl of tom kha, and seafood stir fry. The soup came first and after waiting for a while for my stir fry, I finally asked for rice because I was hungry and can't wait anymore. While we halfway finished with the soup, the stir fry finally arrived with barely half a plate of food on it and 2 scoops of rice. When asked why it look so little, the server said, they only serve the lunch combo menu and don't make anything full plate to order.
The soup was ok; a typical Tom kha a little bit on the sour side for me. The seafood stir fry was weird and I'm not sure what it was supposed to be, but I was hungry and ate it anyway. I couldn't find anything authentic to Thai foods here. Everything on the menu seem to gear towards the American clienteles.
The whole time we are, the servers never asked or check to see how we're doing or if we needed anything else even though they kept walking past us a few times. After we are done when the food, I offered to pay when the credit card which the server asked me if the guy that took my food order told me that their credit card machine is down even though he himself was the one who seated me and should have informed me then....
