11th Street Taphouse Bar & Grill





We ate at the 11th Street Taphouse in Virgnia Beach on a beautiful evening and sat out on the patio. The patio is located alongside a busy sidewalk that many pedestrians and bicyclists used to access the beach, boardwalk and bike path. There is also another restaurant and bar on the other side of the sidewalk that, at least the night we dined, has a live band that you could enjoy from 11th Street Taphouse's Patio.

We ordered the Mahi Mahi, and the Swordfish, which was one of the catches of the day. They were both served with potatoes and green beans.

Both of the fishes were good, but the sides were strange to me. The potatoes definitely had an under cooked and overcooked taste and texture to them - the inside being under cooked and the outside on the overcooked side. They were also not well seasoned.

The green beans were overcooked for my taste, I prefer them to still have a bite to them and not be completely be softened from cooking. I couldn't identify the seasoning on them, nor the added ingredient (garlic? almonds?) that was served with them. 

That said, the patio, with large tables as well as comfy wicker chairs and small tables, is a nice place to sit out and watch the sunset.
