Silk Asian Tavern Leaves Vernon Hills

Silk Asian Tavern closed its door in Vernon Hills this week, officials announced.

“Unfortunately after a year of doing business in Vernon Hills we can not afford to operate at this location. We are exploring a new venue in the north suburbs that will allow us to be more successful,” reads a message to patrons on the restaurant’s website.

The restaurant also shared the news Friday morning on its Facebook page and Twitter account.

“Unfortunately due to a trying economy and financial constraints we are closing doors on Silk Asian Tavern. Our hopes are to find a new location that will enable us to have the success that we all hoped and dreamed for,” its social media notice said.

Fans are directed to follow the Facebook page and check the restaurant opened in May 2012. The restaurant replaced Silk Mandarin, which had operated in Vernon Hills for more than 20 years.
