Stopped in to eat during DragonCon. The hostess stated it was reservation only but that there was a table available between reservations if we didn't mind eating and not lingering to talk. We agreed. I had the Asian salad, and their known for Mai Tai. Both were really good. My friend had the Salmon and that too was very good. The atmosphere was friendly along with the staff, even with how busy it was.
Went back again and had the fried rice, and it too was really delicious. A great place to eat.
Hostess was not ready for work when we got there she was watching some show and acted as if we disturbed her. She was aggressive when she throw down the menu’s really defensive in attitude. I didn’t like it. I get it, we came 45 minutes before you closed😒😪big deal, you’re not cooking or serving. Hence why I gave you a 3* for service, if Tiffany wasn’t our server it could have been less.
TIFANNY= Customer Service
What an amazing individual, her product knowledge was on point, she told us about the history of the company, how the meals were prepared, she made our drink recommendation, she was just on top of things. She was legit humble and willing to take care of us.
The ambiance was great, combined with the decor and the Tuesday night live band this was the place to be tonight. The meal was worth every dime. We definitely will be back!!!!
We were super excited to visit this legendary establishment and loved our drinks very much! Super fun glassware, huge menu of drinks, and very fun decor. Unfortunately we had some of the most lackadaisical service I’ve ever witnessed... Also parking is a nightmare, so Uber if possible.
Went here as we were staying in the Hilton and it was convenient. Service was friendly. Drinks were pricey, which is expected in a hotel. The food was very good I was a little worried, but it was delicious.
We are big Tiki bar fans! Been looking forward to this one for a while. Loved everything during the whole experience. The service, atmosphere, drinks and food were excellent. Whether you’re a tiki fan or just looking for a great date night Trader Vic’s is an institution and we will be back!
We had a trader vics in Chicago when I was a child and it closed down! My brother is obsessed with tiki stuff and came upon this restaurant! Same restaurant that was in Chicago.
We ate there on Friday I had the curry vegetable and added shrimp! It was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. Server was so so.
Had my first mai tai there because they're the ones that actually came out with the drink
Food is a little pricy but that's everywhere! But the atmosphere as well makes the price also worth it!
There house made Peanut butter is on top
We liked it so much that we booked for the next night! Better service but I would have done the scallops and not the salmon!
Can't wait to come back
Friendly and professional staff team! My server Shtu was great - very attentive, making sure I was happy with my meal. Wonderful ambience and interesting history to this place. Love the menu choices. Definitely recommended. Especially the spring rolls and pineapple cake dessert!
This dining experience at Trader Vic’s was absolutely wonderful! The cocktails were delicious, the food was flavorful and the service from Lakiesha were all top notch! 5/5 would definitely recommend and come back again! Unrelated to the restaurant, if you drive an oversize truck (like an F150) you won’t be able to fit into the parking garage at the Hilton.
Overly expensive and under seasoned food, salvaged by kitschy and fun decor and atmosphere. Once salt and Sriracha was added, the food was decent.
YUM! Took a chance reading at the hotel and glad I did. House fried rice and won ton soup were great. If I could do it again, I might do a bowl of won ton instead of a cup. Seriously that was my favorite part. Didn't expect awesome asian inside of a hotel but it's here!
First time here. It was a little confusing to get to from the outside, but once I found the right elevator and floor, I was fine. Only two servers were working, so the service was a bit slow. Luckily, we weren't too much in a rush, so it wasn't that bad, but we were seated 15-20 minutes past our reservation. The interior was beautiful, and we were seated next to the large pots they cooked in. I was impressed to learn the process and feel how hot the glass even got! The food was AMAZING, absolutely no complaints. We ordered several dishes and everything was very delicious, hands down. Would visit again!
My husband and I had a good experience here. The teriyaki salmon is amazing. The fried rice tastes like P.F. Changs. Pork Siu leaves more to be desired. Beef Cho Cho is amazing. They had a nice selection of drinks and we had fun.

I'm a tiki connoisseur and was super excited for my first visit to the Atlanta Trader Vic's, and it didn't disappoint. I'm sure it's because it was the weekend of Inuhele, the local Polynesian-pop conference, and representatives were there from corporate. Regardless, we got the A-team, and the food and service were outstanding (though I've heard it can be inconsistent otherwise due to staffing and supply issues). I loved it so much, I came in for dinner 3 times over 4 days. For tropical drinks, it's hard to beat the quality and selection at Trader Vic's. Vic invented the Mai Tai in 1944, but make sure you ask for the 1944 version or you might get the less impressive version that uses a mix. The Vic's Itch and London Sour were also outstanding, as were all the pupus I tried and the entrees from the wood-fired Chinese oven. The restaurant is huge but feels intimate due it being a collection of smaller connected rooms, all of which are decadently adorned in mid-century style tropical décor. It's fun and funky fine dining with an elegance that's missing from the bland, corporate restaurants in most hotels. I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit!

Once upon a time there were Trader Vic's all across America and now there are only three. This place? It's a destination. It's a Tiki-powered time machine fueled by surf guitars, reverb, and Theremins. And rum. It's a bucket-list Tiki bar. It's an institution. It's great, and you can get a bowl of boozy deliciousness and some long straws to share it with your friends. How awesome is that?
So, some history. This place opened up in the Hilton basement in 1976 and has not changed its décor since. It's the last bar that Victor Bergeron himself had a hand in designing, and it's full-on midcentury Tiki kitschy chic. Read: amazing. The signature cocktail, the Peachtree Punch, is a Vic creation. And look. You can't talk about Tiki bars without talking about the Mai Tai, and you can't talk about the Mai Tai without talking about Trader Vic. He invented the drink, after all!
Perspective, though: even though it's Tiki wonderful, Vic's is still a hotel restaurant with all the shortcomings that hotel restaurants have and things definitely can be inconsistent. Sure, the food is overpriced. Sure, it may be bland at times. That Mai Tai might be more mix than craft these days. But who cares? The bartenders are still super friendly and amazing.
Here's the thing. Trader Vic's may not be the best Tiki shop in town - that crown goes to S.O.S. in Decatur - but it really doesn't matter. This place is grandaddy of Tiki bars. It's unique to Atlanta. It's an out-of-this world old-school Polynesian pop culture powerhouse. They don't make 'em like this anymore. That's what matters.
Wow, an amazing blast from my childhood. Was thrilled that Trader Vic's was in the Hilton Atlanta as I haven't eaten at one in years. My ribs were perfect, nothing could have improved them and that's saying a lot as a BBQ fanatic. The crab Rangoons were great also. Definitely coming back when I'm in Atlanta
I but pricy, but you can't beat the atmosphere. It is one of the few remaining Tiki restaurants in the US.
We had an absolute amazing experience here last night. We went to meet up with an old friend to get a couple of drinks. I’ve been looking for a good mocktail for more than a year now, and this is the first time that I actually really liked my drink to the point I tried another one and loved it also. The service was beyond amazing. Our server’s name was Shetu, and he was just great. He is the perfect example of someone going above and beyond what was required. We ran into a frustrating issue not related to the dinning experience at all, but when he found out he helped us resolve the issue. He even involved his manager. Both of them went above and beyond their duty and gave us a wonderful experience. We couldn’t be more grateful.
