...I gotta say, this place is great!!.......the decor was right on....tiki lamps on every table and trader s/p shakers....lot's of tikis and big ones too, including a 14 footer that has yet to placed outside. The bartender, lou, was top notch- very open with drink suggestions and out of all the drinks we sampled there was not a clunker in the bunch. try the honi honi...you would never think that jack daniels would taste so good in a tropical drink!! (and i hate jack daniels-long story i won't get into). The manager was real cool .....i believe he said he used to manage trader vics atlanta....he was real receptive to doing a special tiki night there once a month like at the old traders once things get rollin.....the crowd was sparce, which we liked and due to the fact that they wanted a soft opening, with a big grand opening sometime in january...they haven't really made a big announcement that they are open now.....the music was right on...lounge, exotica and a sprinkle of obligatory holiday classics which set the tone of the season.....we'll definately be going back as we have yet to try any of the food.....

only downside.....no cheese bings on the appetizer list.....but we'll fix that eventually - LOL

highly recommended....so glad to see trader vics back.......check it out when you get a chance or next time you're in town....
