Mrs. Seamus and I had one night to hit the town this summer too. We did both. The Tonga was awesome for it's mood and decor, but a bit stuffy. We stayed for one drink and soaked up as much as we could, then crossed the bridge for Vic's. We were thinking we'd just have a couple of MaiTais and that'd do it. We ended up staying for 3hrs or more. When I took a peek at the dining room, that was it. We stayed for dinner, and more drinks. The place was hopping, people were having a great time, the service made us feel like royalty, and the food and drinks were amazing. The decor? Stunning.
It's just my outa towner opinion, but if you only have one night, try to do both, but if you can only do one, you want to eat, and want a real experience, the choice has got to be Trader Vics hands down. You gotta do Vic's if only for the MaiTai alone. The best I've had.
We also did one of my famous clandestine parking lot deals w/some TCer customers which helped finance our evenings indulgence. Thanks friends!!(if you happen to be reading this please Email me. I lost all my old Email addresses in a recent crash)
