Did you know?

Following his history-making creation of The Original Mai Tai® in 1944, Trader Vic created over 200 signature cocktails. Best described as Paradise In A Glass®, each handcrafted cocktail is an experience all its own.

 And then, decades ahead of his time, Trader Vic  chose to offer Chinese dishes alongside the then-contemporary Continental cuisine, creating the original fusion menu!

Hours Wednesday-Sunday:

  • Lunch 12pm-3pm
  • Lounge 12pm-9:30pm
  • Dinner 5pm-9pm

Taste the world!

Taste The World® at Trader Vic’s and enjoy the subtle smoky flavors imparted by their Chinese Wood-fired Ovens, an ancient cooking method dating back to the Han Dynasty, with dishes like Indonesian Rack of Lamb or their fork-tender BBQ Spare Ribs.
