Exquisite Japanese Cuisine
Wednesday, July 06, 2005
I don't know which to rave about first - the food or the bathrooms at Miso.
If you like sashimi (or sushi), the highest quality fish and chefs in New Haven are found at Miso. The rest of the menu is perfectly adequate for those who get squeamish eating uncooked foods, but the sashimi is as close to perfection as I've ever had except for the one time I went to Iron Chef Morimoto's restaurant in Philly. Funny story about that...when he comes to New Haven, apparently he eats at Miso! Check out their website.
It's not just the great food, though. The restaurant itself is gorgeous - very artfully designed without being too intimidating. You can stop in for lunch in jeans or arrive for dinner dressed to the teeth...you'll be taken in by your surroundings and put at ease - even the restrooms are beautiful!
A bit pricey during dinner by New Haven standards - though well worth it - but their lunch menu is very reasonable.
