Its been a while since I ate somewhere that offered truly different and exciting food. Medizona really does. When the four of us couldn't decide from the array of exciting appetizers, our server recommended a custom sampler. The taste of each selected dish and overall presentaiton of this not-on-the menu item was incredible. Each plate consisted of one lamb filled crispy egglant taco, a wedge of portabello mushroom filled with jack cheese and shredded duck, and a southwest spiced jumbo shrimp on a nest of hummus. The plate was garnished with strips of fried parsnip and various multi-colored sauce. It was pretty amazing stuff. Two of the three entrees were exceptional as well. The achiote-rubbed panfried salmon was the best salmon preparation that I have ever had. The morel mushroom clam cream sauce was really remarkable and a surprisingly perfect pairing with the spicy fish. The grilled pork chop was juicy, the glaze tasty, and it was cooked perfectly. We would, however, recommend skipping the moroccan spiced chicken breast. This dish was (especially compared to the others) tasteless and boring. The cous-cous upon which the chicken sat was equally blah. If it wasnt for this dish, there is no question that I would say 5 stars, but the others more than made up for it. The service, ambiance, price (the wedsite does not provide prices, but most entrees are below $20) and most of the food was just great. I would certainly recommend that anyone try Medizona.
Pros: Unique menu, exciting presentation, fantastic service, small intimate ambiance
Cons: Moroccan spiced chicken is blah, tasteless and boring
