My husband and I were just in Phoenix for a long weekend. We found a review of Medizona that boasted robust flavors so we made a reservation. The evening started very well. We were brought a basket of crusty bread with humus and a ratatouille-like relish. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his rabbit and fig baklava appetizer and mine (scallops in puff pastry) was also delicious. It went sharply downhill from there. I ordered the moroccan chicken and my husband ordered the pork. Both were dry and practically tasteless. I finally dumped the rest of the ratatouille topping from the bread basket on top of my chicken so it had some flavor. Not sure if the regular chef was out this night or what, but Medizona certainly didn't live up to its rave reviews, or even the mouth-watering descriptions of the dishes on the menu. I would never go back or recommend to anyone else (unless they are big fans of expensive bland food).
Pros: Open on Sunday, nice atmosphere, attentive service
Cons: Bland food, could hear the TV in the bar over the music in the dining room
