VIRGINIA BEACH: CROC'S









Nancy, Barb and I (along with Esther and Eunice)headed to Croc's 19th Street Bistro, the first restaurant in Virginia to be certified Virginia Green. The food and drinks reflect a seasonably sustainable, organic local aka S.O.L, emphasis. So, every effort is made to feature produce from nearby farms, seafood fresh from local waters as well as selections approved from the Virginia Aquarium's Seafood Watch List.

There were a number of little bites on the menu starting with a Traditional Lebanese Mezzé Sampler of Hummus, baba, Certified Angus Beef kefta, tawouk, tabouleh and toasted pita wedges. We then chose: Tawouk -Grilled chicken skewers seasoned with sumac and lemon juice served with our house-made garlic dip; Beer-battered Shrimp; Toasted Sesame Seed Scallops; Chicken Wings; and Spinach Artichoke Dip.

We then shared an entree that was a special of the day Paillard Chicken stuffed with bacon, tomato jam, gruyere cheese served over baby greens and acorn squash succotash.
