Food fair, atmosphere ok but they do bait and switch on customers when it comes to the 'special deals' offered during happy hours. It happened to me and several other people on different occasions and the bar staff just laughs it off. Avoid the place unless you enjoy being ripped off.

The restaurant has a good atmosphere and service. Yet, the overpriced food doesn't reflect the quality.

It is a cool place to hang out with a group of friends given its cozy place and its pool area in the back of the complex. Food is average (typical cafe style)

If you are craving for a good steak in Medan, then Traders is it! It also serves cheap local beer as well and the staff is friendly! I went there a few times in the evening with my host just for drinks and the staff served us really well each time.

It sounds a harsh thing to say, but I have to remember that I am in Medan, not Jakarta or Jogja...that said, the staff seem bored, the drinks are adequate and if you don't mind other people smoking when having a glass of wine, then its ok. Otherwise, wait until you get to a major city.....

Storic place in Medan, food is ok, don't expect too much, is mostly a beer place where people use to hang out...screen and pool make it more pub than restaurant.

the food is poor for the price, it doesn't taste great. Very smoky room... If you cannot handle the smoke from people smoking, i suggest u don't come here.
