New $8 Lunch Menu at Silk
by pearlgirl
We stopped in Silk for lunch today and were surprised to find a special $8 lunch menu. The menu had a note of gratitude at the bottom saying that Silk appreciates its customers. Nice, huh?

I wonder if other restaurants are creating lower priced menus and if it's enticing to diners? Silk 1012 NW Glisan Portland, OR 97209
