| - Rating based on comparison of food I've had at other high-end restaurants, service, price, and hours of operation.
We went to Voga since we were staying at Flamingo. I like the decor, which is kinda what drew us to come here. It has a very modern theme, hot pink, white and black. We didn't need to wait for a table, we were able to call down from our room and immediately be seated when we got there.
The menus were hot pink highlighter-colored leather (ew?) and only one page. My BF and I ended up ordering the Crab cakes with Caviar for appetizer, Sea Bass with Rock Shrimp Rissoto for entree, and the Chocolate "Fun-Do" for dessert (little cuts of cheesecake with chocolate sauce for dipping - would have loved to have more a variety of choices for dipping like bananas, strawberries, marshmellows, etc.). The food was really good, but a bit overpriced. The crab cakes and chocolate fondu were on par with a chain restaurant a la Cheesecake Factory . Although they were decent, I thought that for a moderately priced restaurant they would have been better - and I've definitely HAD better. The sea bass was excellent, though, which was the quality that I expected. We ended up paying around $80 for our entire meal including 2 glasses of their lower-priced wine.
Our server was nice, but a bit slow. It took a while for us to get our check. Again, expecting spectacular service at a higher end restaurant. And the hours of operation - I think they open at 5, and one night we wanted to have dinner here and they were closed at like, 9 pm! In Las Vegas, especially on the strip, I think this restaurant would probably bring in more business if they had a longer range of hours!
If I hadn't experienced nicer restaurants that give more overall experience for the price, this place would have gotten more stars from me. But for the price, the quality of the food, and the service, I expected more.
