    Thoughtfully prepared and delicious food. The chicken was surprisingly good - tender, juicy, excellent chimmichuri sauce. Lovely wait staff too. I will return!

    We had a delicious dinner at the Hive this last week. I made our reservation the night before via Open Table and was happy that we had no wait to be seated. We did have to get through some construction outside the building but it didn't affect our dining experience. We ordered the Wild Hog to split and soup and salad to start (also to split). Bread and butter was brought to the table and a nice way to open . Our soup was curried cauliflower, not my husbands favorite flavors, but I thought it was delicious (it could have been just a bit warmer), then we had a Fennel and asparagus Salad - it was AMAZING! Such a great combo of flavors and the dressing was a perfect compliment. The Berkshire Hog Chop was delicious, cooked perfectly - couldn't have said more and it was a decent amount to split. Lastly I couldn't pass up the Meyer Lemon Ice Cream - again, I was very happy with the flavor and although we weren't going to share, it was plenty. The meal ended with complimentary green apply cotton candy lol - I loved it. We recommended it to our friends and will return next visit to Bentonville.

    Thank you for such a glowing review, Terri! We are so appreciative of all of our guests for navigating this period of construction with us. We also looove this new Asparagus and Fennel Salad, and all of our other seasonal offerings. Did you know that we have the pleasure of getting a lot of produce hyperlocally, from just a few blocks away? You can really taste the love and commitment that goes into these delicious vegetables. The Hog Chop, of course, is a winner, and has been since the beginning, but it's always a pleasure seeing our lovely guests agree! We could not be more pleased to get to serve you, Terri, and we hope to see you again soon (with friends!). Cheers, The Hive Team

    Food was fantastic just a little bitter sweet considering the service was a bit of an afterthought. We love it here just wish we were able to have a slightly more consistent experience with service.

    I think I had one of the best salads and definitely the best pork chop I’ve ever had at this restaurant. They also had the most amazing sorbet I’ve ever had- rhubarb, blueberry which doesn’t sound amazing but it was truly outstanding and delicious (I thought about ordering another one even though I was full). The ambiance is really fun at this restaurant too! The servers were VERY friendly. Highly recommend!
