Marssa - Henderson

Eh. Waiter was very cool and did the best he could (but it was kind of sad) there wasn't a lot of wait staff. Sushi showed up without wasabi and ginger, which was beyond annoying and stupid. And it tasted kind of frozen, thawed out and soggy ish. Salad and things without meat or seafood, were all good. Mochi ice cream was gross, cheap, and disgusting. And they kept dropping plates in the kitchen. Noisy bast*rds.

Had dinner here during our stay and really enjoyed the sushi with nice views in the background. Sushi was fresh as well as tasty, and Edamame had the right amount of spice to it. Also, the drinks were on point and service was excellent.

During our staycation we had dinner one night at the fine dining option in the Westin, Marssa. This is a Japanese Steakhouse fusion restaurant that over looks Lake Las Vegas. As you look out the sun sets on the other side of the Westin so you get a nice look of the sun hitting the lake and homes across the way. We were fortunate enough to have two people wait on us, a trainer and trainee. This made for a perfect anything we needed seating. You can order the specialty cocktails off the menu or you can basically order anything since the hotel bar is right above which makes the options pretty open to your imagination. We started with a eel roll and honey walnut shrimp for our appetizers. Both of these were quite good. For our entrees I ordered the rib eye which was tasty but very thin and a side of chicken fried rice. Where she ordered wok plate with a California roll on the side. Everything was very good to this point. For dessert we ordered malasadas and chocolate lava cake with ice cream. Both of these hit the spot. I think this restaurant is good but what you get for what you pay seems to be a bit off but that's fine dining in a resort hotel. Btw on a Saturday night I don't think they reached 50% full capacity during our meal.

First off, a very personable server, Brendan started the experience after being very politely seated by the hostess. The place is open and inviting, clean, and surrounded by large picture window views, so there 's really not a bad table to be had here. The menu looked great with choices of two cuts of Wagyu (NY strip) or a ribeye. I was going to get the Wagyu ribeye, but wait... they 've got black cod Misoyaki on the menu. It 's been a long time since I 've seen it/had it, so I opted for that. I also ordered a sashimi salad as an appetizer, which came highly recommended by my server. The salad, while attractively presented, was not without its problems: The spring mix was good, as was the ahi. However, the salmon was a bit fishy, which I confirmed by trying it... twice. Yup salmon was sub optimal. No big deal, I put it to the side. Ahhhh... the black cod was EXACTLY as it should be. If you 've tasted this delicacy, properly prepared, you know what I mean! If you ever dine here, I strongly recommend it! You 'll be happy! For desert, I ordered mango mochi. While the presentation was attractive, unfortunately, they apparently ran out of the mochi I ordered, substituting 1/2 of it with green tea (matcha) flavored mochi. Since I don 't consume coffee or tea for religious reasons, this was a bit of a letdown. Has they let me know before it was served, I could have changed the order. Oh well. I did end up mentioning it to the server, and... FIXED IT! I Here 's the summary: Service: 5 stars Ambience: 5 stars Main course: 5 stars Both sides: 4 stars Unfortunately, I can 't add up those numbers and get to 5, so it must be a lower score than that. Well, since they went out of their way to fix the mochi, I guess I 'll have have to round ip the score... 5 stars!!

Marssa is the real only game in this town as the Westin Lake Las Vegas is somewhere out there where you think it is, and then it's further. I had no idea when I was booked into this hotel where it was. Driving from the Las Vegas airport I thought we were in Utah and I didn't even bring my sHowever, the grounds are set against the lake and is very pretty. Marssa is one long rectangular room flanked on one side with high cathedral arched windows with great views of the lake and beyond and on the other side is the long open kitchen. I ordered a pot of green tea decided to go with sushi in this Steak and sushi joint. Ordering was difficult as I'm gluten intolerant. I did order the Yellowtail Carpaccio with a lemongrass chimichurri sauce, chili oil scallions and Honey Walnut Shrimp. The Walnut Shrimp is made with rice flour so it was GF. The chimichurri sauce gave the yellowtail a nice kick and the walnuts and shrimp was not too sweet with a great crunch. Each dish was extremely tasty and the quiet solitude of dining in this spacious room with the lake views enhanced the experience. The 5 pieces each since I had no rice wasn't extremely filling but it was enough to satisfy me on this culinary journey to a different part of Las Vegas. I decided to check out the dessert menu which is doubly difficult for anyone with gluten intolerance. The only dessert gluten free is the Matcha and Raspberry Panna Cotta except for ice cream so I splurged since I had the room to do so and being seemingly abandoned in this oasis, what else am I going to do? The Panna Cotta arrived with a white and dark chocolate stick and a creamy Panna cotta pudding with a delicious green matcha and raspberry filling under the creme. I savored this dish for as long as I possibly could. Excellent service by a friendly server added to the meal. Without any direction home for a couple days, while some people dance the night away I could only dine the night through.
