I hadn't been to Trader Vic's in many years and my husband decided to take me there for our anniversary. The food was fabulous, the service was professional and attentive and I could have a conversation with my husband and not have to yell over noise. The staff was friendly and attentive. The check didn't come until we were absolutely... more

I have been there now three times and the service is absolutely awful. Everything is slow, and our food was served before our drink order and without utensils. Salads come the same time as entrees and not a plate was ever cleared. I am not a food snob but come on. Greasy dinners offer better table maintenance. For the money... more

Okay, it;s not some 5-star world class restaurant in Paris, but it's fun, the food can be very good and a bit different than what you're used to, and the ambience is very nice, sitting on the Bay with great views. The cosmo tidbits are terrific, and it's a great place to take a date or someone you're getting to... more

We were enroute on our way to Sonoma Valley and made this reservation at Trader Vic's / Emeryville through Opentable a week or two in advance. Dinner was to be special for us, because of it being Valentine's Day. We were ushered in pretty quickly to our table and were bombarded with water servers, the hostess, and finally the waiter.... more

The Captain was rude. He talked down to our group of 50-somethings like we were a bunch of teenagers out on prom night. He tried to hurry us into ordering, but could not offer any advice on the menu. The drinks were poorly made-just tasted like straight booze. The straws were so short they sunk into the glass and the... more
