Trader Vic's Restaurant - Beverly Hills

I love tiki bars - I fuckin love em - I love em so much I did a movie once called Fast Cars & Tiki Bars - a friend was nice enough to take me to dinner at Trader Vic's tonight - she knew I would love it - I had never been there - It is located on the corner fo the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills - I didn't try a funky drink because they are all made with rum - too sweet - we got some appetizers - I got the crab rangoon wontons and she got the egg roll - awesome wontons - I dont eat egg rolls but it looked good I guess - we decided to share everything for dinner family style so we could experience the different tastes - I ordered the chilean sea bass - she ordered almond duck - both were excellent - we also got the fried rice as a side - everything was awesome - I reccommend it if you are into the polynesian pop atmosphere - it was really a chinese place with tropical drinks and setting - I think it would be more fun to go there and drink instead of eat - everyone around us looked like real estate agents - I felt like i was in a country club - the pricetag was around $150 - I felt bad for my friend but she wanted to pay for it - she knew what she was getting into she said - It's really great to have good friends - I will take care fo her twice as much down the road for doing this for me - really sweet and appreciated. I can see why this place is a tradition and lasted long after mos tof the other similar places are long gone - good food and atmosphere.
