No shortage of New Years Eve dining options this year!

Hopefully your luck is better than mine this year, and you are not working for New Years Eve. Should you have it off, there is a plethora of dining specials happening around the state. Luckily for us, the Hartford Courant was nice enough to compile a list which you can view here: http://www.courant.com/entertainment/restaurants/a-la-carte/ctn-new-years-eve-dining-20111220,0,5658729.column
Some highlights for Hartford are:
At Black-Eyed Sally’s, 350 Asylum St., Hartford, it's $50 plus tax and tip per person for a three-course dinner and entertainment and dancing by Paul Gabriel Blues Band. Menu choices include Maryland crab cake, Sally’s Jambalaya Royale, Sally’s Famous Ribs and pecan pie.

Dish Bar & Grill, 900 Main Street, Hartford, serves a $39 three-course prix-fixe in addition to its regular menu. Options include market salad, butternut squash bisque and jumbo lump-crab pasta for starters; and entrees like red-wine braised short rib, Fisherman's Wharf stew with shellfish, octopus pasta, heirloom tomato pie and grilled veal rib chop (a $6 upcharge.) For dessert, there's slow-cooked chocolate fondant and citrus panna cotta with winter berries and champagne sabayon.

Firebox, 539 Broad Street, Hartford, remains true to its locally-focused cuisine while serving up decadent New Year's a la carte options like oysters, foie gras and prime rib. Dinner seatings start at 5:30 p.m., and grower-champagne specials will be offered throughout the night. Firebox also begins its new Tavern Brunch on New Year's Day, served from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The a la carte menu focuses on farm-fresh eggs, meats and available produce

At J Restaurant/Bar, 297 Washington St., Hartford, enjoy First Night fireworks from the patio where there will be a bonfire, as well as a dropping ball at midnight. The regular menu will be served, and diners can take advantage of the seasonal trolley that makes stops at the restaurant and downtown Hartford.

Zula, 901 Main Street, Hartford, celebrates New Year's Eve and its first anniversary with a four-course prix-fixe menu and a complimentary midnight champagne toast. The dinner, priced at $95 per couple, comes with a bottle of house red or white wine. Seatings are available every half hour from 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Reservations are required.
