| - My sister and husband kept reminding me about the time we all met up for happy hour at Other Mama, except I never made it because I worked late. "It's amazing!", they said. "Good oyster variety and oh-so fresh!" and "The cocktails are exceptional!". Well, we finally made it back again, and by we and I mean I actually joined them this time. Holy cow is this place good!
Think small plates, fresh oysters, and incredibly well-made cocktails. The stand-out for me was the deviled eggs with fried oyster, followed by the shishito peppers, cauliflower and pistachio. The octopus was well prepared, just a bit bland for my taste.
I was looking for something refreshing and not to sweet, so the recommendation was the Billie Joe. Spot on! Gin, maraschino, mint, rose-water, cucumber, and lime. It was a complex drink made to perfection. Definitely a do over for me!
Ready for some oysters? Oh man, you've gotta try the Svetlana with it - horseradish vodka, lemon, ginger syrup, and Becherovka (herbal bitters made in the Czech Republic). This is a pairing made in heaven! Enjoy!
