What People Are Saying About Beehive Restaurant
The Editor
Eric Grossman
Citysearch
Spread over two floors in the Boston Center for the Arts, the Beehive attracts a suitably artsy crowd, especially before and after performances. The large space, filled with eye-catching art and ornate drapes and fixtures, is one of the neighborhood's few true late-night destinations. An eclectic assortment of live music, from jazz to cabaret, is offered most nights. The Mediterranean-tinged menu sports shareable bites (lamb-filled phyllo springrolls, truffle-potato-cheese flatbread) and pricier, more substantial fare (like duck, scallion and jalepeno risotto or the prime hangar steak).…

Swanky and Posh...delicious food!
by Mominwellesley
This place was packed with people which was encouraging after readng the reviews here. We decided to sit at the bar and eat dinner. I loved that the full dinner menu is avalable to people at the bar. The menu was pretty limited but the food was great. We got the gulf shrimp appetizer and the steak tartar and Pate dish to start and we were not at all disappointed. The gulf shrimp came smothered in a spiced butter sauce that was so succulent! The Pate they served was appealing to the eye and the taste did not disappoint. The tartar was perfect with the caper garnishment. They served toasted bread slices to accompany both apps and it was the perfect touch. My husband had the short rib sandwich and LOVED it. I had the blackened rib eye med rare with a pepercorn au juis sauce and I have to say it's the best rib-eye I have ever had. I had a great traditional Martini and The hubby drank IPA and the service was prompt, polite and engaging. We had a great time listening to the live Jazz music and the band was good. We didn't get to stay for the reggae that starts at 10 due to other plans but we look forward to hearing them next time!
It is recommended you try this place because I cannot wait to go here again!
- Pros: the steak tartar and Pate plate was stellar!
- Cons: didn't find any

Stung by the Bee!!
by connoisseur69
We went on a Friday night and the place was "buzzing"... (get it?) Took us a few minutes to be seated even though there were many tables available. Once seated, we had a dozen oysters, which were okay. We ordered the salmon and the snapper. The salmon was pretty good but the snapper was horrible. I have never experienced a fish entree with so many bones, it was pretty much inedible and tasted horrible. The side dish was some kind of bean curd served in tin foil... very "classy" presentation. When asked how we liked the meal, we commented that the fish had many bones and the waiter snapped back saying "What do you expect, it's a whole fish", with an attitude. This ruined the whole experience for us, and we do not recommend this place.
- Pros: Location and cocktails
- Cons: Service and food
