It seems like we alternate our new year’s celebrations between Westport and New Haven. This year, I couldn’t have been happier with an early dinner at Miso. There’s nothing quite like bellying up to the sushi bar and letting chef Jason Tay set the pace for your final meal of the year. We don’t even bother with a menu.  That evening, we found ourselves alongside other regulars who we met many years ago at East Restaurant in Milford. There was a shared experience of some very fiery Vicious Viper hot sauce during our last encounter.

Yes they are pricey, but the best seafood is always on the specials board. Or ask Jason if he’s got anything else he recommends.

If you see Jason behind the sushi bar, sit down and know you’re in good hands.

This is a quiet moment in the dining room before the evening rush, but as always, I recommend sitting at the sushi bar and ordering as many as the specials as you can!
