Fun that they offer a blues brunch, but unfortunately the band was on break for the first 45 minutes of our time there. Food was OK. Not incredible, but the vibe was good. Service was excellent!!

The vibe of the Beehive is unmatched, with live jazz music and great cocktails. The menu is a little bit random, but we ordered the muscles and they were delicious. We had a great server and could've stayed the whole night just to hang out!

Great ambience and music with live 3 piece band. The food was delicious. We had the Farm Vegetable Cheese Frittata and the Baked French Toast. While the music was great, it was difficult to talk as we were seated near the band. I would ask for a different table further from the entertainment next time. We will definitely go again.

It was the Saturday brunch with Eduardo Betancourt we were excited to enjoy. Once seated, our server, JP could not have been more wonderful! Knowledgeable, engaging and the perfect amount of attentive. The BEST avocado toast I’ve enjoyed in ages!! The tuna tartare addition was next level. We will be returning for Mr. Betancourt, that avocado toast and hopefully a seat in JP’s section. Thank you Beehive! It was a special occasion we were celebrating and our experience exceeded expectations.

The band started an hour late & the mgr sent my server TWICE to ask me to vacate the table when I went there to enjoy the music. I ordered chicken wings & instead of wing drumsticks they served chicken legs. The music was good & the server was good so it wasn't a completely negative experience.
