Eastern Shore seafood and produce from our local farms are staples, and our menu runs the gamut, from the freshest Ahi tuna to gourmet gouda burgers. Our bartenders are as adventurous as our chefs, providing you with hand-muddled mojitos, homemade sangria and organic margaritas. We hope you enjoy your dining experience with us!**Thank you for your reservation. We attempt to honor all specific table requests such as a booth or outdoor seating.

The service and food was great! I enjoy coming to Becca and the ambiance it creates. Our waiter, Sean seems to enjoy his work and is on point with making sure to check in on us at the right time. CJ, the manager was also great to make sure I had my reservations secured and to stop by and say hello. He also made sure to show me the private dining areas for suture business luncheons and dinners. I look forward to many more visits! Thank you, Becca!!

Food here was delicious. Guac was great, salsa was great, Lindsey (our server) was great, the all-around ambience and decor was amazing. We had the birria enchiladas for dinner and then enjoyed the churros and tres leches cake for dessert. We will definitely come back again next time we are in VA Beach.
