Not only was the food and atmosphere phenomenal, the staff were amazing. Extremely accommodating. Whitney was also an amazing performer and her bands was just as amazing. I would highly recommend this place, everything went perfect. I can confidently say I will be coming back. Thank you to the beehive for such an amazing time!

Server did a better job scaring me than providing good service. In the middle of my conversation with my date, she would start talking at us rather than politely interrupting. After I ordered my dessert, I was rushed out before finishing as I was told another table was behind me. It would have been nice to know before I sat down that I had 2 hours total to dine. Felt the stink eye on me and chose to leave as I didn’t feel comfortable. Not sure if I’ll be back, really disappointing.

The swordfish dinner was good, but the vegetable portion was lukewarm. We have eaten here for years but were VERY DISAPPOINTED by the 6% "entertainment fee" they added to the check. We were seated at 5:30, and no entertainment was available the entire time (we did not expect it either). The service was only fair to good. The biggest turnoff was the bill. The meal cost $73.50. After tax and the $4.41 entertainment fee, the new total was $83.05. Then, they recommended a minimum tip of 18% of the $83.05. We used to love this restaurant. Not anymore.

Wonderful place to see live music and eat before seeing a play next-door at the Huntington. Starting at 6:30, there was a great band that included an electric harp, bass and drums playing jazz which was fun to watch and not to loud so it was good background music. The bean dip was delicious but there was not enough pita bread that came with it. The butternut squash risotto was quite spicy with some kind of chili oil on top that I didn't expect, so I wasn't able to finish it, and I ate some of my husband's pasta dish, which was good but not amazing. Great atmosphere and service but the food was not amazing considering the cost.
