    Victor Bergeron in 1936 became known as Trader Vic. The contemporary cuisine and cocktails are memorable. Try the Coconut Prawns.

    Try out the Original Mai Tai, and The Stinker. The best drinks you can get in LA for around $10. Any drink here kills any expensive beer you could get at any trendy LA bar.

    Crispy Duck and Rack of Lamb are Delicious. Mai Tai= two sips of booze and entire cup full of crushed ice. After all the hype we were disappointed. Food and ambiance were great though.

    Do not miss the amazing happy hour that starts at 10pm. Barbara is also the greatest server ever.

    Invented the Mai Tai. Don't leave this place without having one! You won't regret it. After knocking back a few, checkin @ Taco Bell @ 504 W. Olympic (after 7pm) & qualify to win Warped Tour tix! Read more

    The Menehune: sweet, sour, and powerful. Take a stand and have several. Look out for the menehune visions... She's a little demon

    skip the food & go straight for the booze, you girl drink drunk. you'll see the kitschy $10 tiki drinks are worth it once they creep up on you.

    Their Happy Hour, or "Tiki Time", has several great food items for just $5, including a delicious full sized burger! One of the best deals at LA Live. Read more

    Try the Mai Tai "from scratch". It's stronger and better than the standard one they make.

    Yuk! Had unfortunately bad food. Went here fir brunch and had French toast that tasted like the bottom of someones foot. I loved the ambiance and maybe cocktails are good but skip the food

    Rude hostess. Large awkward chairs. Over a 15 minute wait for water. Wait staff did not return for entree order. With so many fine choices in the city, why settle for Vic's - You deserve better.

    Here's a tip. If you're not OPEN, then the logical thing to do would be to advertise it with perhaps a CLOSED sign. Very disappointed in-laws on Memorial Day. You guys now officially suck.

    Stay away from the turkey burger. Honestly the worst I've ever had. Ranch dressing is way watered down also.

    worst place @ LA Live. Food is marginal at best. BBQ sliders were DRY, fries were trying to be "tropical flavored" instead of just french fry flavored. Hidden step is dangerous.
