Comings and Goings: Bistro 88 Opens

Bistro 88, the Asian cuisine and sushi restaurant at Westport’s Bridge Square in the Saugatuck section, is undergoing a “soft” opening. Westporter Blair McCaw, founder and president of the marketing consulting company Constellation Management Group, located in offices above the new restaurant, said he was buying takeout at Bistro 88 for the first time. “I’ve been watching its development and waiting for the day I could try the food,” he said. “It’s a nice change for this neighborhood, a change of pace and some healthy food.” Bistro 88 is in space previously occupied by Peter’s Bridge Market. Owned by Paul Chung of Easton, its co-owner with his sister, Naomi, the restaurant seats about 20 and will be open seven days, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and until 10 p.m. on other days.
