Description:
This Trader Vic's doesn't feel like the other Trader Vic's out there. It's a lot more upscale and bright. I think the colors and architecture feels more Santa Fe than Tiki (although there's no Santa Fe decor).

While it has a lot of artifacts, most of it is not classic tiki. A lot of it feels more African-inspired than Polynesian. There are paintings adorning the walls painted by Trader Vic himself, but again, they don't feel too Tiki. The place does not feel spartan in any way, it just doesn't have the same dark, moody feel of classic Trader Vics.

The place is a genuine Trader Vic's though, and the drinks are top notch, both in taste and in presentation. You won't be unsatisfied by the drinks, food, or service, but you may have Trader Vic's Sticker Shock when you see the prices.
