Green Onion Description:
Despite a name that sounds like a vegan haven or a trendy latch-on to the wholesale (though laudable) greening of America, The Green Onion is an eclectic bistro with both Euro-centric and contemporary American sensibilities. The name is emblematic of this cool, cosmopolitan eatery's value on freshness and budding professionalism. While there is ample fare to sate non-meat eaters, such as sweet chili-sautéed vegan chicken over a mixed green salad with cremini mushrooms and red onions, one may also opt for the pecan-topped Dijon and brown sugar marinated double cut-Frenched pork chop with smashed sweet potatoes or the grilled lamb chops accompanied by a polenta cake with Stilton. Seafood surfaces here, too, as in sautéed diver scallops with lobster cheesecake. And 120 pounds of mussels may be downed before each Wednesday's all-you-can-eat special is through. The addition of a Natuzzi leather-rich lounge, popping with chartreuse couches and cozy conversation corners, more than doubles the still-intimate restaurant's size, and makes it a sophisticated setting for late night martinis and tapas on weekends. Also located in Virginia Beach.
