He helped us find some really cool spots around town while we were visiting! Also made some great drinks! We stuck to the original 1944 Mai Tai and coffee grog
Sheri CoonNovember 18, 2013Wow...the Classic 1944 Mai Tai as a first time check in? It knocked me on my butt, strong but really tasty! The Crab Rangoon was delish, as were the wings, and wontons. Better than expected!
Best drinks: 1944 Mai Tai served "the old way", Tiki Puka Puka and Fog Cutter. The signature drink, Nelson's Blood is also good and goes incredibly well with the flourless choc. cake. All appetizers a
JaredOctober 12, 2014Always a fun spot. Patrick behind the bar always takes good care of you, and the drinks come out strong and delicious. Mai Tai's can't be beat.
I am the KING of Trader Vic's: Tonight I had a Suffering Bastard, Chi Chi, Tiki Puka, Minehune, Potted Parrott, Vodka Mai Tai, The Wave, Rum Giggle, & Dr. Funk's Son (exclusive: only 1 made a day). A+
Emily M.January 6, 2013The bar area is great for drinks and dessert.... Get the s'mores. They come with a mini hibachi so you can toast them at your table.
Bridget KincaidJuly 16, 2012Loved this place years ago. Greatest Mai Tais in Portland. I still remember the Bongo Bongo Soup, but you gotta love oysters.
Pro tip: Order the "Pinky Gonzales.". It's a Trader Vics Mai tai with the tequila of your choosing. It's not on the menu but it's the best drink in the joint.
Ryan ThompsonJune 30, 2013Andrea -- Waiters hassling customers about tips is technically illegal. Next time some snotnose like Justin does this to you, call him/her out on it.
Ben HodgdonJuly 30, 2011Great renovation of the space. Very busy on opening weekend. Mai tai was delicious, but pours seemed a bit lite.
Star BjorgeMarch 20, 2012The Trader Vic's Passion Cocktail is fabulous. Sweet and sour and wonderful.- Try the Manila Clams! My absolute favorite item on the new menu
- My 2 favorite drinks: The Navy Grog & The Classic 1944 Mai Tai.
Try the Navy Grog...and sip it without the straw. Tastes amazing!
Julie DonaldsonAugust 10, 2011Service in back room is slow, but quiet. Look for ladies or men written under restroom sign or you may go in wrong one.

"Here a person can find a proper cocktail, made the proper "hotel" way. It doesn't quite have the old school charm of the old, but this is a great place to get away. Ask for Arthur."
