Marssa

Eating at Marssa was a treat! Two days back to back enjoying great food, timely staff and service! The layout of the dining room was nice with a backdrop off Lake Las Vegas! I plan a return trip soon!

Since I was staying at the Westin at Lake Las Vegas, I decided to have dinner here with a group of my friends. The restaurant looks very chic with modern decor, and the floor to ceiling windows would have beautiful lake views during the day (I'd imagine) but we went at night when it was too dark to see outside. However, the chandelier fixtures were dazzling enough to make up for that. Unfortunately this was the highlight of the restaurant. The food was extremely mediocre for its price point, and the service left something to be desired. Despite getting a personal voicemail from the restaurant manager confirming my reservation the day before, I not only saw no sign of him (Tyson) anywhere, but our server made A HUGE DEAL out of insisting that she "had to get the manager's help to ring everything in" because we didn't want to split the checks equally at the end-- who splits equally instead of paying for what they actually eat??? This is 2024. Splitting checks shouldn't be such a big hassle that the guests are shamed when they do it. This isn't The Strip, and we came here specifically to avoid that sort of entitled bougie attitude. Not sure if it was the employee not wanting to do her job, or the manager Tyson's fault for having some sort of ridiculous policy to follow, but I don't care. It soured the entire experience and interrupted my fun moments with friends. I would not come here again, and it's only the promptness of the service that gets the 2 stars instead of 1. I wasn't the only one disappointed with my meal. I didn't even take pictures, that's how unimpressed I was with the whole ordeal.

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.

Let me start by saying, I am obsessed with miso soup. It's my go-to litmus test for every Japanese restaurant I visit. If the miso's off, the trust is broken. But Marssa? Marssa has officially ruined me for all other miso soups. After 40 years of miso-sipping bliss, this was hands down the best bowl I've ever had. Forget top restaurant in 2024--this soup alone deserves its own award. Now, onto the chimichurri yellowtail. Chimichurri and sushi? I'll admit, I was skeptical. But, oh my taste buds, it worked! The tangy herbs mixed with that buttery yellowtail were a culinary plot twist I never saw coming. Speaking of genius combinations, their Cowboy Up Wagyu roll? It's like the sushi version of a rugged, mysterious cowboy sweeping you off your feet, spurs and all. Rich, tender, smoky and bold. And the Tiger Roll? Let's just say it pounces with flavor. It's fierce, fresh, and a little wild. And then the wasabi mashed potatoes. Who knew potatoes could have such sass? The perfect blend of creamy and spicy, they're like the side dish that steals the spotlight from the entrée. And dessert? Oh, they didn't stop there. The yuzu pineapple cheesecake was a revelation--a perfect balance of savory and sweet with a tropical flair. Marssa isn't just a restaurant; it's a place where culinary boundaries are respectfully annihilated. Every dish is an adventure, and by the end of the meal, you're not just full--you're inspired. Hands down, one of the best meals of my life. I would also like to say a very special shout out to their hostess, Zoie, who was more than a hostess. She deserves a raise after what I observed last night. Never in my life have I seen a hostess so hands on- she was seating guests, picking up dirty dishes from tables, scrubbing crumbs from table clothes, grabbing checks from guests to make sure that their bill was collected and paid in a timely fashion. Hands-down, the most hands-on worker I've ever seen at a restaurant. Kudos to you, Zoie.

Ignore the negative reviews from years back...we have dined Marssa twice in the last three months and found the food and service to be impeccable...the halibut lau lau, beef bowl and chicken curry bowl are extraordinary...do not miss the walnut shrimp appetizer! Great meal with great friends, everyone left happy and satisfied...give them a second chance if you have not been lately!!

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.

The 3 stars is for the dessert, whiskey and the service. Can't give 5 because the food was kinda generic. It's a restaurant inside of the Westin hotel that serves seafood and steak. It has an Asian flare to it so they have a lot of sushi and sashimi. The selection of whiskey was by far some of the best I had. You get 1.5oz per order but that is more than enough. I had the Habiki, it goes down smooth and doesn't have any burn.The best part was being the youngest person in the room and all the older people stared at me. It's nice to be young money.

So I had finally made my way over to Lake Las Vegas and decided to make a weekend out of it by staying at the Westin and checking out the local sights and of course Lake Las Vegas itself. The options were still pretty bare given we were still living in a COVID world and part of that led to limited joints being open. I decided to make the dinner situation a bit easy and went with this joint as it was located directly in the restaurant. I was a bit skeptical of an Asian restaurant in a hotel, but the reviews looked good so decided to give it a whirl. The service here was standard good for a restaurant. The ambiance was also nice as it is a hotel restaurant after all. The menu is broken into appetizers, salads, an omakase section, steaks/chops, fish and signature dishes, and finally including some sushi options. A lot of the menu was definitely crafted with a mass majority in mind so authenticity was a bit questionable on certain items but all good. We ordered a few items including an item from the steak section, some fried rice, and a few appetizers. All in all, the food was just OK. Definitely wasn't authentic and the price point did seem high although I understand it's a hotel restaurant. I think its fine to cover some of the basics and probably is a good "Asian-y" menu to suit multiple tastes.

After living at Lake Las Vegas for several years I finally decided to try Marssa. Walking into the restaurant it's much smaller than expected, although it offers a good atmosphere. I was surprised by the limited menu but our dinner choices and wine selection were great! I ordered salt and pepper shrimp which were colossal & delicious. My friend enjoyed her stir fry as well. I believe you'll pay the same price for dinner on the strip or dinner @Marssa inside the Westin @lakelasvegas your choice.

Ok food, bad service.The time between placing my order and getting my food was insane! As I sat and waited for my food, a pattern started to appear... everyone my server was helping was also having a long wait time. I saw the manager walking around several times, each time he approached tables asking how things were, however another pattern emerged... he avoided all of the tables my server was assisting, as I'd already knowing every one of those tables would have something negative to say. Tempura was good, sushi.... Well, I'd pass if I were you (especially for the price).
