Commune serves food according to what's available and fresh, adding a little extra flavor and excitement to their menu.

"The locals must be keeping this gem of a restaurant plenty busy on their own, because there’s no big flashy sign outside beckoning tourists to visit. Thankfully I heard about it, and stopped in for lunch. The restaurant used to be a doctor’s office in the late 30’s, and now it’s serving up breakfast and lunch open kitchen-style."

Fine Dining Restaurants to Try in Virginia Beach
"For a nice night out at the Oceanfront, head to the Hunt Room at the Cavalier Hotel where you can enjoy your drinks fireside by the historic grand fireplace. Upon renovation, the fireplace was found to have been structurally compromised and had to be restored brick-by-brick, with each brick being placed in its original order and location. Guests who once hunted native fowl, such as ducks, on the original property’s 4,000 acres of land, would bring their bags of game to be prepared by the hotel’s masterful chefs."
