Frommer's Review
Of all the unlikely places to expect a decent meal, let alone one that surpasses most of what can be found at more conventional local restaurants, Voo Doo takes the laurels. Waitstaff are clad in all black (women in sleeveless halter tops -- even when temperatures are arctic outside), African carvings adorn the walls, thumping music sets the pace, and conga drummers circulate nightly, beating out rapid, insistent rhythms -- a tremendous distraction. It is all loud, young, and casual. Options range from a plate featuring shrimps, scallops, and Chinese ravioli stuffed with seafood to General Tao's chicken, which is presented Québec-style. The cover charge for the disco upstairs, Maurice, is waived with proof that you ate at Voo Doo. There's also an attached cigar lounge, the Société Cigare.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
