Trader Vic's

This is a hidden gem. One of our favorite places in the East bay. They have the best and cutest cocktails and the food is delicious. Our top favorite here are the steaks, crispy shrimp, beef and reef. And cant forget the banana fritters!

Great atmosphere for Easter brunch buffet. Flavors, quality and selection were good. Drink selections were plentiful and fun. However, all "hot" food was cold. At $98/person I don't think we would go back for brunch. Not to mention we were charged and paid for 2 extra cocktails we never ordered or received. I didn't notice on the receipt until I got home. There was also a $10.95 "admin fee" tacked onto the bill. We may still possibly come back and try lunch/dinner sometime. I could not recommend to others based on this experience.

We've eaten here years before and the dining experience was great back then, so my husband recommended this place to a group of friends for a reunion luncheon on 3/23. Times sure have changed... what a great disappointment! the food this time around was awful! My husband had the Short Rib Bahn Mi sandwich and said it was dry and overcooked! I had their signature Island Fried Rice to go, which touted their famous char siu pork with tender chicken, pineapple, ginger, garlic, egg, soy, green onion. Needless to say this dish tasted like it was stir-fried in rancid vinegar! None of it tasted anything like fried rice. Their famous char siu pork was no where to be found, unless you had a magnifying glass to see it. I love asian food especially fried rice, but this concoction they created was surprisingly nauseating, so I threw it in the trash! all $25 dollars worth of it, which is a huge waste of money. Thinking maybe it was just me, I asked my sister, my husband and a neighbor to taste the fried rice and they all said the same thing "it's awful!". I will never go back and DO NOT recommend this place for their food, they are highly overpriced and the service is so-so. Although their drinks are pretty good... nuff said.

Good atmosphere, service is efficient. Ideal to go for some flirty drinks and have a pleasant time with live music.
