Throughout the restaurant is a collection of unique and authentic pieces from the private collection of Dinah's Garden Hotel owner Raymond Handley, an avid world traveler and rare art collector.' Is this a sign of things to come for new Trader Vics? From what I heard, the Vic's Corporate folks wheren't pleased 9or something like that) with the end result of Palo Alto. That is why the new SF location is much closer to Trader Vics visual roots than the Palo Alto location.
