Really enjoyed our first experience at Other Mama. The first thing that stands out is the beautiful decor of the place. It's not easy to tastefully buildout a place in a Vegas strip mall without breaking the bank. Other Mama reminds me of the myriad of places in European cities that are a labor of love by the Chef/Owner. Beautiful ambiance for a date or night out with friends.
Then came the menu...also a very unique thing compared to what we are used to. Basically the menu is made up of raw selection (oysters, sashimi etc.), small plates perfect for sharing tapas style, select entrees and daily specials. We hit a number of expertly prepared small plates and one of the specials: Chicken Fried Lobster. It was excellent as were the accompanying grilled pork belly, Kimchi fried rice and Shishito peppers with cauliflower and pistachios. Everything was excellent
We ended a great evening with some desert. The homemade walnut brownie was superb. The rice pudding was not to my taste but you can tell it's homemade and delivered with love. The Japanese cheese cake is nothing like you imagine - more sponge cake than New York cheese cake - but it is phenomenal. Light and very tasty.
What made the whole experience 5 Star was our wonderful server who took really great care of us. She was outstanding through out the evening and really took great care of us. We'll be going back for sure.
