You always risk a disaster when you attempt fusion cuisine, but K-Zo succeeds deliciously. The quality of the fish is superb – which means anything built with fish that marvelous is going to be good. The live octopus carpaccio was spectacular. And though it didn’t twitch (not THAT live) you could tell it was fresh, prepared seconds before it hit our table. And that’s the second aspect of K-Zo that elavates it – their staff knows how to pace a meal. Sushi wasn’t just brought out in a buckshot. Salads and sashimi were presented first and the staff waited until they were eaten before bringing small portions of rolls and other dishes. This is a restaurant that knows that good fish must be eaten immediately after being prepared – the longer it waits on the table the weirder it gets. K-Zo is first class sushi dining and I can’t wait to go back. They also have an expansive sake list including a 3 flavor sampler for neophites. Alas, you’ll have to pay for the experience to the tune of forty bucks a head.
