One of our chef series meals was at Naked City Pizza on Paradise where Chef Palmeri served the group some of the dishes he was tinkering with to serve at the now open Naked City Tavern, a 24 hour gaming bar and restaurant just south of Sunset Road on Pecos.
Five of us gathered for brunch to try the new menu items and to see the new Naked City Tavern. There are three menus available depending on time of day. One is the overnight one from 10 PM to 11 AM menu. The second one is 11 AM to 11 PM. The other menu is the normal Naked City Pizza menu which consists of pizza and the other items served at the two other Naked City locations.
Standouts were the Dutch Babies--a cast iron skillet pancake with berry topping and vanilla cream, the bacon risotto, Nutella French toast, the Hot Mama, the yellowtail crudo, and the foie gras-duck confit tacos. In other words, almost everything served was an outstanding dish with lots of creativity. This is a place where two can share a few items. Be aware that the Hot Mama is superb but there is so much to it that it would easily fill one person. The crudo was outstanding with such an interesting and flavorful item as pickled blueberries around the base of the fish. The Rebel pizza was very good.
In short, brunch was excellent. This is a grand addition to Naked City lineup.
