text: Great menu for restaurant week last month but honestly not the least bit exciting in the food department I had a boring salmon dish my wife had a boring overcooked and overseasoned steak with mashed potatoes I felt that we got a decent enough value for our price paying more for the classic tiki ambiance than anything else but I do not think I would return ever again to order off of the regular menu Note on value awesome halfoff wine listnnThat said the after dinner coffee cocktail I tried was a solid standout from the bar and this place is primarily known for its bar and the coconut desert thing they served was pretty tasty as well Note about dessert had it cost anything extra I would not have ordered it I never get dessert when I go out so at least I got the chance to try something different and enjoy it I supposennBut the service Thankfully our server was totally cool When I first called the restaurant with a question prior to arrival the guy who answered was a total jerk and so he got jerkiness in return I was in a much better mood upon meeting up with my wife and a couple of good friends when I got there though so I let it gonnThen throughout our dinner we kept hearing the sound of crashing plates and glasses from the bussers pretty sure this was a record for broken dishes outside of a Greek celebration or a fight not too disruptive but also kind of uninspiring albeit slightly comicalnnAnd for the grand finale as we were about to leave the chef came out to meekly say hello to his tables This did not seem like the kind of chef who likes to be out in front of the public which is fine by me but it is probably required by corporate So it seemed awkward I felt bad for the guynnAll in all it was a pretty good night but I would not particularly blame Trader Vics for it They were just good enough
