My wife is visiting Chicago this week and wanted to dine at Trader Vic's. Since it's closed we were wondering if anyone could recommend something similar. Great food, booze and of course a mug for me. Mahalo, Tikitatt |

Thanks for the heads up on chef shangri-la. I checked it on on Critiki and it really looks great. I told my wife if she gets the chance she will dine there. Mahalo, Tikitatt |

My wife went to the restaurant and found out new owners took over the place and changed the decor a little. She said it doesn't have much of a tiki feel to it as per the pictures in Critiki. However, she did say the food was great. Hard to find a good Tiki hang out theses days. Thanks for the heads up. Mahalo, Tikitatt |

Are you talking about Chef Shangri-La? The same family has owned it since 1976 when it opened. As far as the decor, it hasn't changed much over the years, maybe some stuff moved around but that's about it. They did re- do the bar area about 3 or 4 years back.

Unfortunately, I was unable to go so I’m relying on what the wife told me. She tried to compare it to Trader Vic’s in Beverly Hills and said it was nothing like it. I’ll make it out there some day… Mahalo, Tikitatt |
