    Trader Vic's Atlanta is definitely a destination! It is absolutely worth a trip downtown and even the $30 parking! We had the Valentine's Honi Honi menu and it was outstanding from start to finish. The staff is lovely from excellent table service (Chryslin!) to the manager to Chef Julio, who runs an AMAZING kitchen. Our menu was pork bao, chateaubriand, duchess potatoes, creamed spinach and a very fancy chocolate raspberry dessert. All perfectly executed and perfectly seasoned. Delightful! Trader Vic's is the last original tiki bar in America and it delivers on tiki atmosphere, drinks and really great food.

    Have been multiple times. Last night was for Valentine’s dinner. We had a table for two against a window—perfect, we had light and were away from the “energy” of the entrance and bar—and make no mistake, Rummi’s is energetic! There are a lot of people, a lot of movement, and with that comes volume. But that is part of Rummi’s. If you’re looking for a quiet, intimate spot, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a fun night with wonderful food and service, you’ve found it! Food/service? I’ve never had anything less than excellent food here (I gravitate to the sea bass and a date milkshake for desert). Also, I’ve never had less than stellar service. Definitely a great spot for a fun night and wonderful food!

    We were in Atlanta for a cheer competition and decided to give it a try! SO glad we did! The fried green tomatoes were tooooooo die for! We also had Caesar salads. One with grilled chicken and one with fried chicken. Absolutely delicious. There was plenty of cheese and dressing on each serving so we didn’t have to ask for anything else! Also, get the sweet tea! I probably consumed my body weight in sweet tea there. Fantastic. Additionally, our waitress was WONDERFUL. Kind, thoughtful, accommodating. We didn’t have to ask for refills a single time as she was so on top of everything! Wonderful wonderful wonderful experience! 10/10, highly recommend!
