Now in the era of sleek lounges, green apple martinis and Red Bull concoctions, the 200-plus-seat restaurant simply wasn't turning a profit anymore. [email protected] Are you fu**ing kidding me?? No, Seriously....If the Trader Vic's in Beverly Hills wasn't making profit, then someone should have let the standing room only people know about that. IF thats the case, then all the other Vic's should be folded up too, because I believed that location was one of the top 3 in the company for turning profits! I don't think I've ever seen an empty table for long in my times of being there...Maybe they just didn't have enough seats! And at $13 Mai Tais and $30+ dinner menu items, How could have they NOT made profit?! Especially when all the booths were filled most of the time?...Someone got smoke blown all up in that ass....If it didnt make profit,Beny Alegrem sure wouldn't have made a lounge for them(TraderVics), that profiteering SOB, and you can bank on that!
