The Pepper Club is a Bar and Restaurant by Chef Todd English that is located in the English Hotel in the arts District of Downtown Las Vegas Nevada.
Sometimes the hostess stand is outside.
Graffiti Art is around the building and parking lot.
Illustrated below is the likeness of Chef Todd English and his dog Pepper that the restaurant is named after.
Below is some of what it looks like inside.
This restaurant used to serve a seafood heavy menu of Asian Fusion.
Now the menus are seasonal. This season the menu swings Mediterranean.
Chef Bruce Kalman (very well know James Beard nominated Chef, Bravo Top Chef, Many Food Network Shows and much more……and Soulbelly BBQ) is with The Pepper Club now. (I was told by The Pepper Club that this is still a Todd English Restaurant)
anyways –
Some dishes I was wild about and others can use a tweak or two.
Tonight we started with the house baked bread stracciatella cheese with roasted garlic and oil.
This was delicious and very good. I would probably get it next time too!
Next came the boneless Chicken Thighs alla Diavola with rapini.
The chicken is tender, moist, and cooked to perfection with crispy skin. The pan sauce is very good and rich tasting BUT this dish lacks heat since it’s called Diavolo. The only thing spicy here is that unbelievably HOT DEMON Red pepper…It so hot that it isn’t edible to mere mortals. I ate a tiny peice and almost dropped dead from the extreme heat. The dish is still good but tonight the pepper with it is not edible. The rapini is nice and crispy.
Next plate was the Potato Leek Cappelletti with Walnut Pesto.
This dish is made with nicely crafted pasta but lacks flavor. It can use some cheese and walnuts blended into the pesto for the necessary flavor that it needs…..This dish is an example of overly deconstruted.
The other dish that was delicious was the Winter Squash with sage, gorgonzola and dolce cheese, brown butter, and, pomegranate molasses.
This was a delicious dish that was full of wonderful flavors.
The Pepper Club – Just like most restaurants out there you might like some dishes more than others but is still – Worth a Try!
