    Dinner was delicious. Table was comfortable. I like how you keep it dark and moody, but you have a light shining directly on the table so that we can read a menu and see what we're eating. Our server was excellent. Thanks for the birthday cake.

    This was my first trip to Voo; I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will return! It was restaurant week, and being a cocktail bar, I didn't even think about them offering a KC restaurant week special, but it probably was one of the better values offered from any of the participating restaurants. Essentially, for the price of a cocktail, you also got an appetizer. The drinks are in the $15-20 range, which is in line with craft cocktails these days. The offerings are extensive, including well thought out cocktail combinations. In addition to cocktails, they also off appetizers & dessert. The ambiance is very sexy, very classy. The art-deco decor from the historic Muelbach hotel helps to amplify the lounge vibe. Seating options included the bar, hightops with beautiful dark green velvet seats, and several plush couches and lounge chairs. That night, they had live music from Shaun Munday, who is an amazing bass player with a sultry voice to die for! All the staff, from the hostess to the waitress, were polite and attentive. The only drawback was looking for parking, but that comes with the territory of being downtown. Leave some extra time in your schedule to accommodate time for parking. The good far outweighs the bad, so it's worth dealing with this inconvenience.
