Eastville Inn, Eastville Virginia--good food near Smith Beach

The historic Eastville Inn is located only a few miles from our Smith Beach cottages--and it serves some of the best food on the shore! My friends and I have eaten lunch there several times, and I have had delicious dinners there. It is reopening February 1, 2008 and anyone who goes there is in for a treat. I took this picture during our last snowfall in January, but the picture does not do this inn justice! It is totally renovated inside, the lighting is perfect (important to me--I want to see what I am eating), and in the spring, summer, and fall, there is a intriguing cottage garden in the back of the inn. I love soup--it is something genetic as my whole family loves soup, and they have a terrific selection of made fresh daily soups. The salads are crisp and often feature local ingredients. The seafood is fresh and perfectly cooked. This is a place to have that special dinner with a significant other! I am very picky about seafood, but all the seafood I have eaten here has been delicious! From Smith Beach, go back up Savage Neck Road. At the end of Savage Neck Road, turn left to go into the town of Eastville. The Inn will be on your left, and there is plenty of parking. For hours and a menu, visit their website at The Eastville Inn homepage. Enjoy!
