| - [This review is mainly focusing on the Happy Hour.]
So my search for great off-the-strip cuisine continued with Other Mama. Although the drive is a bit further out that I expected, the restaurant is fantastic.
+First off, service was SUPER friendly and awesome. Thank you to all the staff who really were quite nice and helpful including (apologies if I get your names wrong) Brittany - the sashimi master, David - the skilled mixologist, and Julie - the Puzzle Fighter aficionado. Loved how at the bar, you have a full view of the way the kitchen runs and the bar. Love also the interaction/super chill atmosphere (definitely on the darker side indoors).
+Food-wise, the Happy Hour had about 10 unique items to try out along with HH $1 oysters for the later night crowd. I ate WAY too much but had a lot of the items here so counting them down below (about $8-10 each):
*Octopus Ceviche & Spicy Tuna Tartare: Starting off with both of these first because they came in last when I should have stopped eating. Think both were really interesting takes. Something to note is that the Waffle Fries are more reminiscent of chips. Personally, I preferred the sweet potato chips (and although full, I think I preferred the Octopus Ceviche) but not too bad overall.
*Amberjack: A great try to get a taste of their raw selection. Really good quality fish in a sashimi style presentation.
*Calamari: The calamari was very solid and was very surprised it didn't come with an aioli sauce of some kind. In the end, it didn't need any sauce because the calamari was super flavorful and spiced well.
*Deviled Eggs: The fried oyster on top of the deviled eggs were fantastic and think this stood out as my favorite dish of the bunch. Very memorable.
*Their house wines and a few beers are also on happy hour pricing for about $5 as a heads-up. I did get one of their cocktails, which I believe was the Vivian. Delicious and surprisingly strong with unique spirits to boot. Definitely worth a look-see.
(The full dinner menu definitely seems to be full of really fascinating and more full takes on the HH menu - something I can't wait to try in the future.)
+On a Saturday evening, it wasn't too busy when I went although I did call ahead to RSVP just in case. There's both plentiful bar and table seating. Parking-wise, there was a private lot.
+/- One random note, if you do have a Lyft/Uber driver looking for the place or driving yourself, at least in the late afternoon, the sign was a little hard to read. When you go into the plaza, just make sure to take your time and look near the end of the plaza after going in to find the location.
Hope to come back again to take on the full dinner menu. Cheers Other Mama.
