| - This is an update to my original post. I guess the management didn't like an honest review. There were also some other reviews on here that were a little more honest but they were deleted too.
Are you Joking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If this is local Las Vegas at its best, I'll pass thanks.
I ate at Vox on Saturday August 16th at 8:20ish PM and I have to tell you that it was awful.
First we were sat in the dining room (all but empty) that clearly didn't fit the concept. It was like they were trying to be country club-ish with the big chairs and all the wood but the service, food, and remainder of the atmosphere didn't fit. To top off the bad vibe they were setting up live music during our entire dinner. This means the lights guy was flashing the test lighting in my wifes face all night. Nothing like a blinding spotlight of varying shades to distract you from your dinner. I would have told the manger but didn't see one the entire evening. The hostess might have warned us about the live music, it's always nice to know when a band is going to warm up during your meal.
To the owners: The chairs do not fit the tables. Short chairs make for an uncomfortable dining experience and make you feel like a little kid at the adults table.
Service: Not entirely bad, a little slow and not very well coordinated but not terrible. One thing though, don't refer to a man and his wife as ladies and gentlemen. Neither I nor my wife are two people requiring a plural description. Also it should have been your recommendations not your recommends. You have a recommendation not a recommends!!! Other than that not bad. Wine service was normal and proper.
Food: Are you Joking?????!!!!
Apps: Shrimp Cocktail, Cheese and Charcuterie
Entrees: Seared Ahi, New York Steak
The shrimp was pedestrian at best. It wasn't bad but nothing I haven't seen a million times before.
The cheese and charcuterie plate was laughable. First there was no actual charcuterie on the plate just some thick cut cured ham. Since no one told us what it was we'll assume it was prosciutto though it could have been serrano, either way it was to thick to enjoy. It was paired with some cheeses that, again, were not explained. There were only two when the server said there were supposed to be three types, all served with stale pre-grilled pita.
Tuna wasn't even seared! It looked like there was too much liquid in the pan or the pan they used was not hot enough because the tuna was barely gray i.e. not seared golden brown in a hot pan. The tuna also looked like and tasted like it was frozen ahi and not fresh. The accompanying noodles were fine but pedestrian.
The steak was Terrible!!! The New York steak was actually cooked a correct medium rare but it was under seasoned and incredibly dry and flavorless. It simply did not taste like anything at all. It came with over seasoned garlic fries that had 3 dipping sauces. One sauce was BBQ straight out of the bottle (sysco brand probably), one that tasted like ranch with buffalo sauce, and the other was just plain awful.
By this time the band was well into testing the instruments 4-5 feet from our table and the lights guy was still unrelenting. We wanted to tell a manager how bad their place was but he wasn't around. Needless to say we left without dessert.
The only thing this place has going for it is its decent wine list.
I expect more from our local restaurants. There is NO REASON we can't have the same standards (at a minimum) that we have on the strip. If someone actually is serious about their restaurant and heeds this advice they will make plenty of money. For now all we have is a bunch of restaurants owned by business people with no passion for what they do and thus no soul.
