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 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!!
