Outstanding food and service. Everything from A to Z, including drinks, the sashimi choices, and the grilled food was flavorful, fresh, and used top-quality ingredients. Our server was helpful and wonderful. She helped us navigate a rather long and daunting menu of many good choices.

I haven’t dined at a Trader Vic’s in ages. It was better than I remembered. The Mai Tai took me back to a beachside in Hawaii. The pork chop and the salmon were cooked to perfection. Our waiter was pleasant. We were a bit chilly sitting by the window, but that didn’t hamper our dinner. We didn’t get dessert as we needed to get to a concert, but next time we are in Atlanta, it’s a good chance we will dine here again.
