    I took my niece to lunch for her birthday and completing her first semester of high school. It was busy due to the holiday season and likely why our waitress was almost non-existent. The food and the ambiance were great.

    We had such a wonderful time and the staff made us feel so welcome and offered great suggestions for drinks. As a nice surprise for our anniversary they gave us a special dessert, which was super sweet of them. The hostess was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful as well. The food was fantastic and flavorful and I would 100% recommend this place to everyone!

    Trader Vic’s is a must stop when in the Bay Area, so much history and their drinks are to die for! I am the third generation of my family that has been coming to Trader Vic’s and I hope to keep the tradition going with the next generation :)

    Beautiful escapism into a Polynesian world. Trader Vic's was spot on with our meal and drinks. We ordered the wonton soups an appetizer. The caesar salad and chicken skewers were delivered together as one of our meals. The Salmon was prepared perfectly. For desert we had the snowball. I always enjoy Trader Vic's when I come to San Francisco.

    Over the years, TVs has become less of a go to place in Emeryville, While the location remains fantastic, the menu has shrunk and there is too little choice of fresh fish or organic entrees. The salads were small for $20. Service was OK but the cheery waitresses are gone. And it is difficult to get substitutions.
