| - Other Mama is quite delightful. Keep your eye out on Durango for Brewske's Pub and Other Mama's tucked right behind it to the left.
My friends and I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a few weeks now and finally made plans to go! I was really looking forward to it and went with an empty stomach and high expectations.
The ambiance is very comfortable; dimly lit with a modern-hipster feel to it. The cooks prepare the food in the back (in an open area) so you can watch all of the the cooking action!
The menu is small and they have a chalkboard wall with the daily specials. We didn't hold back and splurged on a variety of dishes to share:
Caviar & French Toast
- A combination that you wouldn't think would work but was one of my favorite dishes. There is something strangely delicious about the sweetness of the French toast and the saltiness of the caviar. After one bite, you want 10 more
Amberjack (Yellowtail) Crudo topped with Ponzu Salsa
- My other favorite dish. Raw Yellowtail. Soft, fresh, and very refreshing - doused in something both sweet and sour
Oysters Foie Rockefeller
- Baked oysters topped with Foie Gras. Warm deliciousness that melts in your mouth. Rich in flavor and creamy... My third time trying Foie Gras and it keeps getting better
Octopus Carpaccio
- My first time trying raw octopus and it was different! A little chewy but I can say I enjoyed it. Our server said it's alive until the chef prepares it. Now if this is true, that is some FRESH carpaccio...
Duck Creek and Blue Point Raw Oysters
- Ordered the Wasabi Cocktail and Pickled Pepper and Habanero sauce which were unique and very tasty! As I'm a huge fan of oysters, these were a must. The Blue Point was better of the two IMO
Panko Fried Clams
- Juicy clams with just the right amount of fried batter on them. The tarter dipping sauce was on point too
Pork Belly Kimchi Fried Rice
- The only menu item I didn't care for. It wasn't bad, but my expectations for Korean food are on another level. This dish just didn't quite meet them. I love ripe Kimchi, don't get me wrong, but the Kimchi in this fried rice was a wee bit too sour...
Jameson Ginger Sorbet and Viet Coffee Ice Cream
- Both were incredibly flavorful desserts and the perfect ending to a wonderful meal!
Beryl
- I couldn't indulge because I was headed to work after dinner but one of my friends ordered this apricot bourbon with orange bitters. I tried a sip and wish I could have enjoyed an entire glass. If you're a whiskey sour fan, you'd really enjoy a Beryl
The service was great (friendly server and busser who frequently checked up on us) and so was the food. The portions are very small compared to the prices. (I could have inhaled 3 orders of the Amberjack Crudo) but I get it. Other Mama is a place to come for small bites, cocktails, and a tasting experience. Definitely not the place for a big ol' hearty meal.
I enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be coming back! I want to try the Bigeye Tuna Poke, Deviled Eggs, and Prime Ribeye Steak next time!
