    Much better than expected. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive. She patiently answered our many questions, and checked on us frequently, despite being very busy. The food and drinks were tasty.

    Shetu was a great server! He really made it a special night. Food was expensive, but was worth it based on how we were looked after. Must visit location for tiki nerds like me.

    We enjoyed the prawns appetizer but I wasn’t a huge fan of our main entree, the fried rice. The chicken was flavorless and the shrimp were very small. Was not a good value for the cost. I enjoyed my mocktail. The service was very good and I loved the ambience. I would just order a different entree next time.

    Aloha Megha, Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the prawns appetizer, your mocktail, and the overall atmosphere, and it's great to know the service made a positive impression. That said, we’re sorry the fried rice didn’t meet expectations, particularly with the flavor and portion of the proteins. Your comments are appreciated and will be shared with our culinary team. We hope to welcome you back for an even better visit. Mahalo, Maurice Pinder, Jr.

    Trader Vic’s has always been one of my favorite go to’s for all celebrations! Their food is still amazing! I was just surprised at the service, how it has lacked for the price you pay for a nice meal! Then I took my boyfriend there for his first birthday in the states and his first visit there and the server did not even acknowledge it was his birthday even though I made reservations and specified it was for his birthday. The hostesses were amazing about it and gave him a lei and wished him happy birthday several times.

    The food was not good. The Beef and Reef had little flavor and was tough. Overall, the appetizers were good, but the main courses were a real disappointment. The tours going through the restaurant while we ate was not enjoyable. I used to go to Trader Vics in the 80s and enjoyed, but it has passed it sell by date.

    Aloha Marc, We're sorry to hear that you didn't have a good time with us. Please accept our apologies for any disappointment in our food options.

    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!

    We have been going to Trader Vic in Atlanta since 1976 and love it. This time was exceptional because for the first time in years, they were playing just Polynesian/South Pacific music. In the past, they have mixed in Caribbean music, which is not appropriate. Our server, Sam, was awesome and we enjoyed meeting the manager who was very gracious. We will be back next year for the 50th anniversary!! Aloha!
    Trader Vic'sResponded on June 25, 2025
    Aloha Alvin, Thank you for returning to Trader Vic's Atlanta. It's always a pleasure to welcome you back to our restaurant, and we're thrilled you loved our music and Sam's exceptional service!
