I’m a girl who likes fancy chow with an international flair. And so I was deeply pleased when Chef Mickey Josephs came to Hamden, and took over that large eatery in the center of town — the one with the wrap-around patio and the landscaped front yard that had been home to such restaurants as Seabreeze and "R" Place — and turned it into Mickey’s.

I first knew Mickey, and his brother, Molti, when they made a splash at Rosemary & Sage in Old Saybrook, which earned an "Excellent" rating from The New York Times in 2002. The brothers briefly operated MY in New Haven, then returned to the shoreline.

After Molti relocated to their native Israel, Mickey set out on his own, and thus I found myself under an umbrella, gazing at Hamden’s Town Hall and feasting on such dishes as oysters stuffed with crab, spinach and Bearnaise sauce; rack of lamb with whole wheat and horseradish crust; and salmon with seven-spice rub atop couscous and Moroccan carrot slaw.

I’ve heard that Mickey’s first year in Hamden has been a bit rocky, which is understandable. The place is large, and the territory takes some getting used to, on both sides. But I have unshakable faith in the chef’s talents, and I urge you to go support this fine new addition to Hamden’s dining scene.
