    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!

    We arrived for a later meal but it was still surprisingly busy. Our waitress was overtasked but doing her best. The food was ok and at the price you would expect for a hotel restaurant in downtown Atlanta

    We had a reservation and arrived five minutes before that time (530 pm). We were not seated for an additional twenty minutes. The other individual in my party has a disability and had difficulty waiting on her feet so long. We were finally seated and then a 12 top was seated right by us. They were incredibly loud for our entire meal. Our server was attentive and kind. The drinks were fantastic. Our food was fairly good! It just took quite awhile due to the 12 top rotating parties in and out and requiring our shared server to go back to them over and over.

    Aloha Andrea, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the attentive service, fantastic drinks, and overall good food. However, we sincerely apologize for the extended wait and the discomfort caused by the noise and delays, especially given the needs of your guest. We appreciate you dining with us and would love the chance to welcome you back for a more relaxed and seamless visit. Mahalo, Maurice Pinder, Jr.

    Food was wonderful. So pleased we ordered the Filet, salmon & pinapple upside down cake. Chrysilin did an amazing job taking care of us. It had been several years since we had been to Trader Vic’s. It was just as great as we remembered. It was the 1st time we brought our son & he loved it too. Until next time!
    Trader Vic'sResponded on June 18, 2025

    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.
    Trader Vic'sResponded on June 10, 2025
    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!
