"Got stuck in traffic and the staff at the Beehive made every effort to accomodate my tardiness. The food was excellent. We had the baby back ribs as an appetizer, the duck as an entree. In addition, we had the swordfish tacos, which were delicious though it was a special for the evening. The service was fine and the band added to a nice ambiance. Overall great experience at the Beehive and everytime i have been it has gotten better."

"I love Beehive! Everything was great about the brunch! One thing I did not like was being rushed to leave. As soon as my husband signed the check, the waiter took it away...it never should be done that way. They always wait for people to leave before picking up the signed receipt. It is not that we were sitting for too long, we just got done with brunch when they got the check and then rushed us by their actions. I understand that mother's day morning is busy but let this mother at least breathe."

"Although my husband & I arrived on time for our reservation, my son was running a bit late. The hostess was very accomodating & didn't insist that we be seated immediately. My son arrived within 10 minutes. We were seated near (but not too near) the live jazz band and thoroughly enjoyed the food & music, which was low key, traditional (think Ella Fitzgerald) and quite good. Conversation was easily heard but the restaurant was solidly booked. The service was excellent, the food was terrific-great day all around!"

"Recently visited Boston for weekend & Beehive listed among our B&B's top 40 restaurants. Website looked cool so made a reservation for 10pm because PM entertainment scheduled for 10p-2a. When we arrived, there was a line out the door of people who wanted to go to the bar (of which there are 2- up and downstairs & seating in both areas too.) Entertainment was phenomenal & that alone made the place worth the trip. Food & drink were adequate but didn't wow (fried clams too fishy, beet soup 1-note, sole ok but not memorable), though my husband's burger was delicious. If you go, get the burger. Our waiter was very helpful & accommodating & went out of his way to fix a gross drink I ordered so I could drink it. I'd go again as I had a great time."

"Everything was great and if you like music the Jazz brunch can't be beat. Been once before with my wife for a nice romantic pre-theater dinner and came back this time for a day-before-mothersday family Brunch with the Adolecent kids (I wouldn't recommend it for little kids). Food is creative enough for the Foodies (my wife and I) and Familiar enough for the Kids. Not super cheap but reasonably priced considering the quality of the food, the location, plus the live music."

"the reservations were exact. we knew it was a happening place before we arrived and expected to be rushed out as soon as we ordered dessert, but honestly, it did not feel that way. the band came on at 10 and they were great. the hostess did a great job and our server knew his stuff. parking is an issue in this area. costs about $22 on a saturday night in the garage directly behind the building, so save yourself some time and just use the valet."

"Saturday jazz brunch at The Beehive was a real treat. You can feel the energy of the place as soon as you walk in. We were seated almost directly in front of the stage which was a fantastic start to our experience. The bloody marys were nothing short of amazing, but the food was the real star. I had eggs benedict with thinly sliced virginia ham (the frites were super tasty, too), while my girflriend had your quiche that she could not stop praising even two days after our meal.
We will 100% be back with friends as this is sure to be a staple for us in years to come."

The jazz band playing was great and even with them playing and the restaurant full, we were able to maintain conversation at our table. I've been here a few times and highly recommend it."

"My wife found this place while we were visiting Boston. It is in a cute little neighborhood, next door to a local theater. The food was amazing. I got a Moroccan style breakfast: polenta and tomato sauce with a poached egg, pita, and sausage. We loved everything on this plate! My wife got the pulled eggs benedict with shortrib. The meat was pulled and typically this style can come out dry and bland but it was very well done here. The meat was very well seasoned and flavorful, tender, and moist.
Food aside, the ambiance was very cool. There was a live jazz trio playing on stage for most of our meal. The decor was lovely and felt very inviting. I would definitely come back here."

"This was our first visit to the Beehive. I loved the Beehive cocktail !! Great start to our evening at the bar while waiting for our table. We went to the basement bar to listen to the band. Once we were seated at our table with a great view of the band playing, they completed their set. It was about 8:00-8:30pm. The next band was not going to start until 10pm. We were expecting to hear a band while we ate. The special halibut with risotto was great. My husband says the steak was, OK.
We had to pick up our child at the seaport at 10pm, so we did not stay. Not having music during dinner lost some of The Beehives appeal to me. But, I can imagine that it would be a neighborhood favorite late night spot!!

"The Beehive has never disappointed. The cuisine is French-inspired but they have added their own ecclectic twist. The portion are generous, but that does not take away from the quality and uniqueness of each dish. The ambiance in wonderful, dim lighting, heavy velvet drapes, fun paintings, chandeliers, and they have managed to maintain a lot of the original building, which gives it such character. The jazz music (or blues depending on the night) is at just the right volume and truly adds to the atmosphere. The bar is fantastic, great drinks and overall liquor selection. This is a favorite spot for various occasions; brunch, dinner, late drinks and music."

"Great food but disappointing service. Friday night celebration with the ladies full of eating, drinking and dessert ended early because the waiter asked us to leave to accommodate other patrons. There were open tables around us in the area. We were served the check after dessert. I've never been asked to leave a restaurant to accommodate other patrons. Very rude."

"We brought my college grad there with a couple of her friends for dinner. Everyone had a wonderful time, the service was very personal and fun. We all had drinks which must have been somewhat strong as there is some blur to the rest. We had Calamari, onion soup, entry of short rib grill cheese, which is huge and fabulous, swordfish taco, burgers. We all left happy, full and with leftovers in hand."

"I met a girlfriend at the restaurant on a Thursday night - this was my first visit to the Beehive - I read the reviews and some were mixed - I found it to be very good all around and would definitely recommend the restaurant. I was early and had a drink at the bar - the bartender was excellent - attentive and friendly and the drink menu is inventive. My cocktail was perfect! We were seated on the balcony overlooking the downstairs so we could hear and see the band but the noise level was not too much to enjoy conversation. Our waitress was friendly and took great care of us - the food very good as well. The bar downstairs was very lively if you are just going for a drink. All around, a great find!"

"The Beehive was true to it's word and did not seat us until everyone arrived, but they were totally fine that the last person was ~20 minutes late and sat us right away at that point. We all enjoyed the food and had some great drinks. There was a jazz group playing for part of the night, and was pretty loud even when they weren't playing, but it was a fun and festive atmosphere that was fun with a group. The service was a bit slow, but they were pretty busy."

"I had a very pleasant dinner however when I comepleted my reservation via opentable I had requested seating on the lower level but instead was seat in the uppper level in a pretty small corner. After a while we didn't mind because we still had a good view of the band and could hear the music."

"I invited a group of my friends to have brunch for my birthday at the beehive, and wouldn't do it again! The food was good, so was the table service, but we were treated like children by the front of house: from the threats of $25 per person who doesn't show up, to the refusal to seat us together despite the clear capacity to do so, to the manner of the women who showed us around it was all anxious and unpleasant - not what one's hoping for from a birthday brunch!"

"The Beehive was great. I took my girlfriend here on a whim for brunch (because who doesn't love a "jazz brunch"). Aesthetically the place looks great. The layout is very unique and very geared towards focusing on whatever is happening on-stage. The music itself was amazing smooth jazz that only served to build the ambience. The only strange thing is that they advertise constant live music during brunch, but for the hour and a half or so that i was there, there was only about half an hour of music. The music also changes styles day by day, so it motivates you to go back for more. The wait staff is very conversational, even though they can be a bit snappy during busy times. Finally, the food was great! I recommend the frittes! Delicious!"

"Today I went to the Beehive for the second time and it was wonderful! The Shrimp and Grits dish was fabulous. My "Lefthanded Screwdriver" cocktail was strong in a good way :)
I do plan to go back in the future and try dinner next time. The Brunch menu is wonderful and I expect the dinner menu to be just as good.
The food and drinks are worth the price. The live music is always good I think the overall experience was a positive one.I would recommend this place to anyone and my server "Jen" is the best, I had her on both of my visits there."

"Duck with wild rice came with white rice and I had to search for listed vegetables. When I asked about this they said it was a rice mix. Not a sign of wild rice on my plate. What's next is they will serve chicken and call it the duck. Please call it what it is, don't substitute and deny."

"This is a special venue with jazz, modern sounds, a real buzz. The setting is unusual, fanciful, and totally different from any other restaurant. It is a bit noisy which I usually dislike, but because the music is live and the atmosphere is conducive to an upbeat,fun experience , I find it "relevant" noise and not just annoying. You can still have a conversation.
The food is the surprise. The menu is quite varied, inventive, and truly delicious. In other words, the venue, music, and food all contribute to a more creative experience than most any other restaurant in the city. The waitress was attentive and really pleasant."

"I'd been hearing of the beehive for ages and just made it. The staff and service were excellent, the food was delicious and the music was great. I'll be back! Every one of us had a different entree and barely spoke as we ate, typically a sign of good food!
The outside is unassuming and a little nondescript, but once you go in, the atmosphere surrounds you. It's cool but casual, not too pretentious, and mostly a 20-30 something hang out, laid back feel, but there was a little dash of style in dress (at least late on Thursday). It wasn't so loud that we couldn't talk, and our every need was cared for. Had a great time."

Selection of main courses held something for meat lovers, fish lovers, and vegetarians -- all delectable. Atmosphere was perfect for a celebration with friends... not too loud and not too stuffy."

"I really liked Beehive, they had great drinks and delicious food. Their jazz brunch really added to the experience. I had tried to go to the Beehive for dinner a few times but the wait was too long without a reservation. I will definitely go back for dinner once the weather is warm enough to sit outside without the wind blowing dust into my food. The poutine was delicious but so was everything else we ordered. Really, no complaints."
