text: It was a little tucked away but once I found Trader Vic's it was awesome. I had been to the one in Bellevue, WA before and liked the decor and vibe. This place was no different. Awesome with the masks, statues and whole Tahitian amosphere. A friend of mine was playing there so I went to see her band. They faced the dining room and were all in the dark. It was an odd place for the band since the bar part was packed and not so much the dining room. They didn'tj have Guinness which was a bummer but they also didn't have much of a beer selection aside from the Bud, Coors type standards. $7 for a beer was pricey I thought for Scottsdale. My friends had some yummy clam type soup and some generous portions for their entrees which they enjoyed. I had already eaten so I just drank. We tried a mixed drink that, the coke my friend had with his rum was flat and my ginger ale was flat too and tasted way too much like syrupy seven up. We sent them back but they came back tasting the same. I had asked the waiter to just bring me a shot of Captian Morgan neat but that ddn't happen. I would go back but perhaps try the happy hour for food as it was on the high side for dinner as were the drinks. The staff was nice and friendly. The drinks dept. get something that doesn't have soda with it.
