Trader Vic's is well worth the drive, wherever you are. The decor is authentic. The aroma of Polynesian grilling is memorable. The food is delicious. The service is impeccable. We have enjoyed Shetu as our waiter for several years now, and his recommendations are the best. Dynasty, the Hostess, was very sweet and personable. Yes, we'll be making the trip from Knoxville, TN, again as soon as we can!
