The Hive Buckhead

The food was immaculate. The hostess was great, and the server was nice. She worked fast, and (Jenelle) was very attentive and accommodating. The doors of the place wasn’t opened at the “open time” and it took about 20 minutes before they actually opened the door. The only thing I did not like was being flagged down about an unknown dress code. I wore slides and another employee flagged me down as I was going to the restroom and asked very rudely if I had any other footwear. For someone visiting for the first time this was not only embarrassing, because she was loud about it, it was very off putting. I feel had she politely said something along the lines of “hey, xyz are the rules, but seeing as it’s your first time, for future reference please dress accordingly.” Would have sufficed. Outside of this the overall experience was pleasant. I ordered the red velvet waffle and chicken. It was delicious.

When we were looking for another brunch spot, many recommended The Hive. We were told to make sure we get a reservation because they do get packed. We were lucky to get one lol. When you make your reservation, they will send a text to confirm and information regarding the restaurant. When we walked in, our table was already available, and we met our waitress right then. The Hive has a dark ember ambiance with amazing music and a nice vibe. Everyone was having a great time. Our waitress helped us with some suggestions of what we should order. Their food was amazing! The catfish was very flavorful and tender, paired well with the thick grits. My friend enjoyed her steak that was very tender and juicy. If you are looking for a relaxed brunch spot with great food in Atlanta, try The Hive.

Great dining experience. I took one star off because the parking around this location is terrible. I wish all the good food spots in Atlanta had better and free parking! I ordered the red velvet waffle and chicken. It was soooo good!! The drinks were on point too. I ordered a Sex on the Beach (still on my bucket list of things to do, but that’s another story 😆). Overall, I would definitely visit this establishment again as long as I take an Uber.
