From A to Zebra's Bistro

On Thursday night, a group of 5 us went out to celebrate my friend Rachel's big 3-0 at Zebra's Bistro and Wine Bar in Medfield. We met at the restaurant around 7 and started off with a glass of wine in the cozy lounge area that had some comfy couches and overstuffed chairs. Once all of us got there, we were seated at a big round table in the dining room.

I wasn't super hungry as I had splurged on an Indian buffet lunch with a co-worker at Diva in Davis Square. It was really good and I can't wait to go back.

Zebra has quite a few menus. They have a bar menu featuring thin crust pizzas, a sushi menu, and a traditional menu, so we had quite an array of options. We decided to start with a Margherita pizza from the bar menu as an appetizer. The pizza was really good and had a thin crisp crust, fresh basil, big chunks of tomatoes and lots of mozzarella cheese.

For dinner, 4 of us decided we were in the mood for sushi. Sushi is my absolute favorite food and I've had it at many places. I am happy to report the sushi was some of the best I have had. I was pleasantly surprised.



**I'm going to insert a plug here for my friend, Alisa, who was with us. She has started her own food company, Spice Genie, which features spice mixes, flavored sugars, and candles. Check it out!

We had a great time laughing and chatting for a few hours. To end the meal and celebrate Rachel's birthday, we ordered the chocolate tasting platter which had about 4 or 5 mini desserts, such as creme brulee, which they topped with a candle for Rachel to blow out. It was wonderful meal with great company.

I would definitely go back to Zebra Bistro and Wine Bar. Although Medfield is a little off the beaten path for me, it is worth returning to. Reviewing my day of gluttony (Indian food, pizza, and sushi!) is a little sickening but it was very enjoyable.
