ust east of Seattle is the burgeoning city of Bellevue. Comprised of food and fashion savvy residents, tech campuses and off-the-beaten path visitors, the growing population has spurred the luxurious Lincoln Square, a mixed use hotel, condominium and retail destination. Trader Vic's graces the Square with its 7,950-square-foot restaurant and tiki lounge, adjacent to the 337-room Westin hotel. It also offers a perfect post-shopping hideaway across from Bellevue Square shopping center--just a skybridge walk away. Enter this lively oasis for juicy cocktails, delectable Polynesian cuisine, and over-the-top escapism.
This 230-seat destination brings two private dining rooms, a vibrant main dining area and its legendary Tiki Lounge. Seattle's first Trader Vic's was in the Westin Hotel in 1949. Throughout its reign and well into the 1960s Trader Vic's was heralded as THE place to dress to the nines and dine (considered a peer of other local restaurants such as Canlis).
Expect the signature Trader Vic's blend of flavors and preparations. Enjoy a gardenia-flanked Scorpion, or nosh on Crab Rangoon, succulent Chinese duck and much more. Maroon yourself in this wonderland of obsolete anchors, coiled lines, fish nets, and more island lore--right in the midst of Bellevue's bustle. Convenient valet parking available. Reservations encouraged.
