Description

There's a rollicking Trader Vic ethos afoot here, with snack-sized portions of sugar-caned shrimp, Flaming Buddhas (a tasty, fire-drenched cocktail), and other showbiz touches. The kiwi-marinated kalbi short ribs and the tempura nori-wrapped ahi tuna with Bhutanese red rice are just two of the lively tastes you'll encounter.

    There is no better precursor to freshwater catfish, Cajun sausage or Southern-fried chicken than a hefty serving of fried okra. The green nubs, fried crisp on the outside in a light cornmeal batter and tender on the inside, are the South's hearty, delicious equivalent of edamame. Enjoy a half or full order at Johnny Rebs', and you'll happily forget you're in California.

  • 2006 | Best Goofy Tropical Cocktails

    The goofy tropical cocktail, a Happy Hour subgenre pioneered by Trader Vic Bergeron and maintained by the Tonga Room, Trad'r Sam's, and other Polynesian outposts, gets an elegant makeover at Ponzu, a sensuously tactile pan-Asian eatery in the Serrano Hotel.
