I don't go anywhere else if I want fresh seafood. Its a small restaurant that fills up quickly but if you get a table or a seat at the bar you will not be disappointed. They have some of the best steamed shrimp around!

Small restaurant that fills up fast but the food is unreal. They offer dinner on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights but their breakfast and lunch menu is great. They have another location off Laskin Road if this one is too full

This is by far my favorite little gem in Virginia Beach. The pastries and coffee are AMAZING. The prices aren't bad. Its a very small shop with limited parking.

This is where I am lucky enough to have my office. If you are an artsy person check this area out. Many restaurants and coffee shops have murals on them. You can walk around the district and view each one. We even have murals on the street! Its definitely a must see to appreciate the artists hard work. There are lots of coffee shops to enjoy like my favorites Badass coffee and Three Ships. Check out Java Surf if you want coffee or some great food. They serve beer as well and usually the owner is around and he's very helpful. There are a couple restaurants that specialize in farm to table such as Commune.
