| - I'm incredibly fortunate in that my job requires me to try out restaurants for a local executive group. I've eaten in some amazing places, Chicago, New Orleans, San Francisco, San Diego, as well as around Las Vegas, all in the cause of finding great places to eat. Other Mama is my new Las Vegas favorite. The food here is as good as any of the finest restaurants in those other cities, if not better. Don't be put off by the strip mall location or the Ikea-on-a-bad-day furniture. The food is divine. Those hush puppies are something I'll need to revisit regularly (like a little ball of crab cake but way better than that sounds) and the chicken-fried lobster was the best lobster I've ever had. The steak was as good as the best steak I've ever had (which was at The Commander's Palace in New Orleans, except that was a filet and this was Kobe), and the desserts.... Well, even if you had the time to read my description, I don't have the words, and that's a first. The floured cheesecake was heavenly. And the ice cream.... OMG. And I don't ever like ice cream because it's never worth the calories. This one is. Miso and honey. (Pause for fond thoughts and memories of that little gem.) Anyway, check it out. It's the most laid-back, under-fan-fared fine dining place I've ever been to. And it's in my backyard! Forget Fleming's and Vintner's and T-bones. This is the place. Sigh. I don't even want to stop writing about it, it was that good.
