I went to The Pepper Club twice while visiting Las Vegas. I originally went to try the Ube Stuffed French Toast that everyone raved about online; however, I tried this dish on my second visit. On my first visit I ordered a TPC Vesper Cocktail ($20) and the Jurassic Peach French Toast. The waiter suggested I ordered the Jurassic Peach French toast, a seasonal dish, instead of the Ube Stuffed French Toast. I was not disappointed in their recommendation in thee least. Also, the cocktail was nice and strong. The waiter was attentive with ensuring cups were filled and needs were met. 5/5 for my first visit for food, flavor, staff, and ambiance. On my second visit, I came back to see if the Ube Stuffed French Toast ($22) was worth the hype. Unfortunately, in comparison to the Jurassic Peach French Toast it missed the mark. I'd have to give it a 3/5. I didn't order a cocktail this time because I stuffed my stomach to the max to finish my dish and drink during my first visit. Lol I'd visit this place again and I'm happy a friend recommend this location to me from their last Las Vegas Trip. They take reservations and please pay attention to what time they start service for things you want off the menu. Although they opened before 9 am, the french toast dishes were not available until then.
Located near the Arts District and Downtown Las Vegas, The Pepper Club is a unique asian fusion restaurant featuring Japanese, Filipino, etc. influences. Not too far from the Strip, it is about a 10 minute drive away. I would also recommend a reservation, but during breakfast it wasn't busy at all. I tried the Matcha Waffle and Ube Toast. While they are most known for the Ube filled toast, I thought the JFC Waffle stood out the most for me. The Ube flavor is very slight and the cream isn't overwhelmingly sweet. However, I thought the dish was forgettable and just okay. The JFC Waffle's standout was the chicken. It was extremely tender and the sauce complimented the waffle well. If I were to go back that would be my order. Service is brilliant, our server was very attentive and offered great recommendations. Alongside this we were seated quickly. It is located in front of a residential area, it is beautiful on the inside and would be a great date spot.
This was only stop for brunch during a recent Vegas trip so that I can try their ube toast. It looked amazing online. Drove over here before a stop to the outlets. Its at a secluded hotel off the strip called the English Hotel which has a very classy vibe to it. The English is a small hotel with limited amenities but its has a charm to it and is away from the crowds. Although small, it doesn't appear cheap and based on room prices its not. You walk through the lobby, doorman and front desk were there to greet me and were nice. I walked by the pool to take pictures then went into the pepper club. I decided not to dine in and do take out so i can enjoy the toast quickly and be on my way. I was offered water at the bar while I wait for my order, which took about 15 minutes. They have lots of outdoor seating but the heat kept everyone inside. There is a nice bar inside and the ambiance was somewhat dimmed even during the day. Towards the side you can do takeout or order some coffee on the go. I wasn't aware that there was a 5% yelp check in so I didn't use it. My order came out to about $25 rounded up. The ube toast comes with 2 pieces, perfect for sharing. I sat outside in the shade to enjoy the ube toast. The cream had the ube flavor I was looking for and it wasn't grainy, overly sweet, nor artificial tasting. The toast itself was yummy and it came with maple syrup and ube drizzle on the side. If I can change something I would add more fruit on top but other than that it was pretty decent. If I was in the area I would stop by again to try their other brunch items.
When you pull up you would never know there is a restaurant there. It is tucked away behind beautiful art decorated walls. There seemed to have been plenty of street parking available. The restaurant had a very art deco feel to it, and felt like a very local scene instead of a tourist spot. We were immediately seated and our waitress was there to welcome is and get out drink orders. We order the Truffle Fries and the Taco Belle as meal starters. The truffle fries were perfect. Truffle throughout the fries not just sitting on top. Taco Belle was a explosion of flavors and textures. You had sweet and spicy, Crispy and soft. They knocked this one out! The JFC Waffle was to die for. Perfect amount of spice vs sweetness. However some spots see to be overly sauced causing it to taste very very salty. The Sticky Chicken was good. It felt more like a a teriyaki sauce. Menu stated chicken breast so when it came out with the leg bone attached I was surprised. The carrots, and broccolini were cooked to perfection and the mini mushrooms were adorable.
Drinks: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Food: 4/5 I absolutely loved the environment, decor, drinks and ambience. The food overall was good. However, I wished they had more options! Would come back for their brunch to try it out! Try the ube cocktail, potatoes, and octopus!
I can't thank Harry & Ebony enough they really made our experience 5 stars. My bestie and I had drinks and food. She had the famous French toast & I had sushi. They were really good! Totally opposite things to order. :)
