ICYMI - Celebrity Chef Akira Back’s Eponymous Restaurant Opens for Brunch
opened early in May in The Colony, with chef Akira Back at the helm. Many might remember the former snowboarder-turned-restaurateur from his 2008 appearance onwhere he competed against Bobby Flay. That same year, Back's Yellowtail Japanese Restaurant and Lounge opened inside the Bellagio in Las Vegas with great success.
Two weeks ago, the concept decided to expand its hours to include a Sunday brunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The vision includes a sophisticated indoor dining experience with a more casual and lively patio, a live DJ and lounge seating. The restaurant held its inaugural brunch on Sept. 4, and we were invited for a media preview.
Instead, the menu begins with cold dishes, including Back’s prized AB tuna pizza, and makes its way to hot dishes and sushi. Dishes are served family-style but in smaller portions. We began with the AB Tuna Pizza, which is not at all what the name implies. It is a crisp tortilla with a light sweeping of umami aioli topped with a thin layer of raw tuna. A drizzle of white truffle oil and a garnish of micro shiso tops the tuna. The aioli and oil make this dish.
The cocktail menu also includes three mocktails, making Akira Back a destination for parties that include both drinkers and nondrinkers. Sake flights are served along with cards that explain each glass.For hot food, we tried Jidori Chicken Karaage, a brunch exclusive. The lightly breaded Japanese-fried chicken thighs are served with mentaiko aioli and cilantro sesame aioli. This is a great option for those new to Japanese fare.
