    We went for the Luau. It was buffet style with multiple food stations. Everything tasted great! There was a show at 8:30pm with hula girls and Samoan dancers…they were great as well! They only do this a few times a year and it’s $100 a plate but we thought it was worth it for such a unique experience.

    Aloha Casey, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. It’s fantastic to hear that our Luau delivered such a memorable evening, from our flavorful buffet selections to vibrant performances. While this kind of entertainment only comes around a few times a year, knowing it felt special and worthwhile means a lot. We look forward to welcoming you back to Trader Vic's Atlanta for another memorable dining experience. Mahalo, Maurice Pinder, Jr.

    WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!! We loved this place! Nice gem in Atlanta! First time that we visit and for sure will not be the last! Exceptional hospitality and all the staff go above and beyond to give you the best experience. (My daughter absolutely loved this place, she’s the main reason we went.)We went with little kids (12, 8, 6)and never had a restaurant so caring for a family with kids! Thank you for a wonderful evening! We went on luau night: A great ambience for adults or families. Dj was a nice touch. All guest seemed to dress up for the occasion which adds to the whole experience. The variety of food was huge! We mostly had a bit of everything and it was full of flavor. Delicious!!! Our kids loved the dessert selection. Mai Tai’s were a hit! There was a show which showcased the islands. It truly felt like you were in Hawaii. We really enjoyed it and the performers were very engaging with the audience. I’m absolutely thankful for the staff and thank you for being so thoughtful and caring towards my kids!!!! Mahalo!

    We stayed at the Hilton Downtown specifically because we wanted to visit Trader Vics. It was our first visit from the UK and it was amazing! The drinks and food were awesome and we were lucky enough to have a little tour by a local regular called Mr Bird who explained the history of Trader Vics and the many pieces of art around the restaurant. Fascinating tour!! We loved our visit and hope to return soon on another vacation!! Thanks to the staff who were so helpful and friendly!!
