Quote: After a heavy tax-season, I felt that my boyfriend needed a getaway. I booked us in Virginia Beach, VA. A 7 hour drive to talk, sing, and relax. After our fantastic week away, he is already asking where we can go next!

We stopped in to escape the rain and have a quick drink. After browsing the menu we decided to share appetizers of calimari and a shrimp cocktail.
