"Commune, with locations in Norfolk and the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, is quickly catching on as a real locals’ choice restaurant. Whether it’s Commune’s commitment to serving high-quality and ethically-sourced ingredients, their chic-modern ambiance, or just Commune’s delicious flavors delivered daily, one thing’s for sure—the praise is definitely deserved. Vegetarians, vegans, meat-eaters, and everyone in between will fine plenty to rave here at this bustling, farm-to-table eatery."

Behind the bar, Commune offers an extensive drink menu of local espresso, tea, beer, wine, and more."

"Morning: There’s no better way to begin the day than with brunch, and Virginia Beach is home to a slue of appealing spots — Citrus, Doc Taylor’s, The Bee & The Biscuit, the list goes on. A locals’ favorite, Bay Local Eatery, has some unique options on the brunch menu, including the ever-popular “Fried Chicken Bennie.” They also have a robust cocktail menu, and most drinks are made with freshly squeezed juice, or “crushes.”"

"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."

"The casual, family-friendly restaurant serves all of their breakfast and lunch options any time they’re open. If your kids want breakfast at noon, that’s perfectly fine. If they prefer chicken tenders first thing in the morning, you don’t have to argue or explain why they can’t have them."

Inside, you'll find quaint tables under a well-lit ceiling, creating the perfect ambiance for an exciting and lovely experience."

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."

"Ocean 27 is a fully open-air bars at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, making them both local favorites when it comes to refueling with a cold drink after a day at the beach.
