Based on the premise of using quality ingredients, created from scratch, and delivered with a smile, this soup restaurant concept morphed into a healthy comfort food café built on a happy, healthy belly and a sincere conversation.

501 Virginia Beach BlvdLocals Secret Spots
I chose to highlight some of our favorite things to do in Virginia Beach. As full time, year round oceanfront residents, we have hit all the spots and these are a few that we have enjoyed the most!
Zekes has the incredible "OG" tuna poke bowl....my other favorite there is the Watermelon Bender....its served in a big glass and its only $4. The fresh squeezed watermelon juice, cucumber vodka, simple syrup and other ingredients make this a locals secret drink of choice!!! Its perfect after a day in the sun and before a night on the town! Definitely a great starting point for your night.

The SpringHill Suites Beach Club is across the street from our house and its open to the public. We call it the Lake Dr Country Club...The outside restaurant has rights to the pool and we use it all summer when we are staying here. It might feel weird walking in at first but as soon as you realize your not "breaking in to the hotel pool" you will feel right at home with the bartender and wait staff! Make sure the make this a stop after the beach or if you have little ones who would prefer not to go to the beach at all!
