He set us up with a table and we sampled some of the drinks. Staff was very friendly and a pleasure to talk to in addition to placing orders. Drinks were great! All in all, a great job with the decor and the space! Very much like Chicago, but still different in many ways. The addition of Danny and Andy's work is testimony to the great talent here at TC. Congrats LA, enjoy your new Trader Vic's! Hope to be back again in August! Only downer of the night was the $53 parking ticket we got for parking on Francisco Street. It was so dark there we never saw the sign. Garage validation like Chicago has would be sweet. [ Edited by: Lake Surfer 2009-05-08 02:14 ]
