Beehive offers an "amazing vibe" with live jazz music that complements its eclectic decor. Known for its "fabulous food," including clam chowder and brisket, guests enjoy the swanky ambiance. Service is often praised as excellent, though some report feeling rushed. Overall, it's a vibrant spot for a memorable dining experience.

The food was okay – we had the chicken, salmon, beetroot salad, “arancini,” and the chocolate mousse. However, the “arancini” were more like cheese balls and shouldn’t be called arancini. Regarding drinks: ordering a martini costs $14, plus an additional $3 “Martini Charge,” which felt odd. Additionally, a 6% Entertainment Fee was automatically added to the bill, even though there was no live music that evening. While the waitress didn’t make an issue about removing it, the gentleman she consulted didn’t seem particularly pleased. The reservation was explicitly made for a birthday for two, but mentioning this during the booking didn’t make any difference. We just got a candle with the dessert we ordered. We had initially planned to return for brunch this weekend, but after this experience, we’ve decided not to. We run an Instagram channel where we feature restaurants and unique spots in Boston and around the world. However, to Beehive’s disadvantage, we’ve decided not to include this restaurant in our portfolio. We might consider coming back if there’s truly exceptional live music, as we live just around the corner, but overall, the experience fell short of our expectations.

Food and service was fine. They had this horrible “jazz” band playing during dinner service which I would normally welcome, but these guys were so bad they made the experience relatively difficult unpleasant.

I’ve never been treated so poorly by a waitstaff. From the moment we sat down we felt pressured by our server and the dining room manager to order everything right away and leave. The manager was especially pretentious and made rude comments about my partner to other staff within our earshot. It was not a pleasant dining experience whatsoever, I am very disappointed given how upscale and expensive the restaurant is. We felt very unwelcome and will never be going back.

Great drinks - disappointing food - disappointing music. Was Thanksgiving so very busy which was to be expected but had such high hopes going in and it missed the mark on every aspect.

It’s great that restaurants like this offer opportunities for couples to get out on holidays! The food was nicely portioned and well thought through I loved the variety in options. My short rib was excellent! The live jazz was top notch highlight of the evening. I love the Beehive it’s great year round. If I had one critique the drinks were awful. Take the winter Paloma off the menu entirely.
