THINGS TRADER VICS SF NEEDS TO FIX:

1. Finish the interior design.

There is a room off the main hallway which is completely undone - I guess it was left untouched from Stars cafe. It becons for a tiki transformation.

2. Provide waitstaff some tiki training.

One of the guys in suits who saw me examining the tall tikis off the bar proudly announced that "this was tiki!" However, when I asked him whether it was based on the Marquesas style and where they acquired them, he went completely blank and moved on.

4. Do something with the exterior.

A huge, blank, naked wall, except for Trader Vic's lettering, and a tiny door, does not make for a very inviting, much less tiki, first impression. A large tiki (bolted down) would be appropriate.

After passing the larger than life restaurant on the corner, Trader Vics appears to be downright hiding.

5. Make their shirts in XXL, for men of substance.
