High-end Asian restaurant to shutter in Midtown

Silk restaurant in Midtown is closing.

A Silk manger who identified himself as “Todd,” confirmed Tuesday over the phone the restaurant at 919 Peachtree Street will close in May.

“I can confirm we are closing May 1,” Todd said.

Anna Hsu, owner of Silk, denied rumors early this year that the restaurant would close (story here).

“How dare you come in here at the close of the year, asking if we are closing,” Hsu said. “As far as I know, we are not. In fact, we have reservations for 2011.”

Since Midtown can’t support a high-end Asian restaurant, any suggestions for what should fill its place?
