The Hive

We recently dined in here and were very impressed. The servers were accommodating, attentive, and very friendly. Always ready to answer questions that we had since it was our first time. Their hog chop was really good and the Grilled Chicken Gizzards for the appetizer. If you want a healthier option get the House-Made Paccheri.I highly recommend this restaurant not only for its delicious food but also for its exceptional service.

Second visit: I got the pan-seared sea bass and it was delicious.

Great dinner spot. Unique theme. A tad on the pricey side, but we knew that going in. Entree's on the small(ish) side, but fancy and well-presented. Sides were a bigger serving than expected. Drinks on the higher side. Wyatt was a rock star.

This was such a great experience! Great food and exceptional service from Jenna! I loved the atmosphere and the price point is great for what you get!

Extraordinary and must recommended culinary experience in Downtown Bentonville. The art work museum is another unique experience in here and would take around 50-70minutes for dine-in and visit here. Parking available with wheelchair accessible parking.

I love this place. This is a very atmospheric restaurant with excellent and delicious 😋 food! The waitress was nice and friendly 🙌! This restaurant left me with such a pleasant impression 👍

I have been here for dinner twice, and the meal has been excellent both times. It somehow pulls off being upscale, without being super expensive and everyone you interact with is extremely welcoming and helpful. I would say the menu is smaller than a lot of other similar establishments, but you will certainly be able to find something to your liking. I can definitely recommend the burger and the hog chop. Both of which are large portions and delicious.

I've been coming here weekly with larger groups to dine and the service every week has been top notch. The staff has truly elevated our experiences. While 90% of the food has been incredible, a few flavors have fallen short but the setting, the drinks and the staff will have you coming back time and time again.

Took my daughter here for our first time and it was definitely worth it. The Ribeye and The signature Hive burger was absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend. Not to mention the customer service. I will be going back soon.

I had dinner at the hive this evening and sat at the bar with an excellent bartender name will. he was very knowledgeable about the menu and cocktails. Will was so nice. We came back twice.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Bentonville! The Hive is consistent in their high quality and unique dishes as well as friendly, attentive service—not to mention the restaurant as a whole is a literal work of art. Menu is limited, but covers a range of tastes and preferences. My husband would claim their burger is the best in town. Order desert, it’s worth it! Atmosphere is nice without being stuffy. The lounge is great for a happy hour or after dinner drinks. Karly was so wonderful! She went out of her way to be sure we had a wonderful time!

Not kid friendly. Valet parking and a parking garage.

The drinks, the knowledge, the atmosphere.. absolutely incredible. That pork belly made my mouth… WET (shout out Chef Trevor) !! The servers- specifically Neal, Jenna, and Wyatt- are kind and attentive and extremely knowledgeable. Wonderful experience and couldn’t recommend more

The whole restaurant was a dining experience! We had the best service with Jenna as our waitress. She made the experience so wonderful. The crispy pork belly was exceptional and nothing could have been better than the Wagyu steak!

We basically just got appetizers and it was amazing. We ordered the Baked Ricotta and paired together with Crispy Pork Belly. It was ridiculously amazing. Ask for more French bread. The beets were great too.
Loved the cocktails. The black dahlia packs a punch and it’s delicious but boozy.

To be honest, I came to Bentonville to see the Annie Liebovitz exhibition at Crystal Bridges; HOWEVER, I am so glad I decided to indulge in a special dinner out at the Hive. Three words for you: 25-Minute Egg. Simply surprising and stole the show. Thank you Chef Sam for stopping by - the entire culinary experience was an amazing start to my getaway.

Welcoming environment with art installs. Got to eat dinner with a friend penguin friend to make things a little more interesting! That was fun and funny 🙂

The dishes are delicious and not too heavy or overwhelming. I had the bass which had nice and clean flavors coupled with nicely paired herbs.

The pecan pie stole the show, however. Not too sticky and sweetened on the molasses side with rich flavors. Wonderful.

Adult mixed drinks were nice and refreshing as well. There was a decent selection of bourbons and scotches to choose from. They also had a wine list any Champaign list.

The best place I visited since I've been in Arkansas.

we had a reservation for six as we were coming here for a work dinner. We were seated right away in a quiet area near the kitchen. We were thinking that we may get private dining but I guess our party wasn't large enough. The one thing I realized is that they have these cute green penguins all over the restaurant that sit with you when you're a party of two.

The ambiance inside the restaurant is really nice. It's quiet and nicely decorated.

we ordered a whole bunch of appetizers to share at the table one of which was the charcuterie board another was the chicken liver. both were incredibly delicious I haven't had chicken liver in years and I have to say it tasted like a light creamy mousse.

for my main I got the bed of cod on top of the chickpeas I found the portion to be perfect it was nice and small and not American sized. The cod was cooked delicately and the chickpeas had a great texture to them.

All in all experience is great the one thing I love is that a check came with some free cotton candy

of all the restaurants I've been to during my time in Northwest Arkansas my coworkers all commented that this was the best steak that they had.

We had dinner here last night and the food and service was fabulous. We started with nice craft cocktails and the most delicious chicken liver mouse and enjoyed flavorful cavatelli, refreshing salad, grilled pork that was tender n had a depth of flavor with contrasting accompaniment of fresh peas n leeks. Our server was knowledgeable, engaging, and was able to understand how we like to spend the evenings. One of my favorite meal in the last few years

My niece had their wedding reception here for 30 guests. The food were delicious and the service was great! The restaurant was nicely decorated with bees and hives, however the private dining was plain, I think it’s best for conference/meeting.

Went for a girl's night and LOVED it. The food was unique and delicious ( though my friends and I all went for the burger, it was a very good burger!) The drinks were fun and super tasty. The staff suggestions were all delicious. It's fun to walk around while you wait for your table, since it's attached to an art museum!

Great food and drink. Had the chicken liver mousse and beef ribeye. Don't hate me but I love that jam on the chicken liver mousse more than the mousse. It was the perfect combo. The steak was perfectly paired with them potatoes. The service? It's top notch. Love love the atmosphere of the behives and penguins. The restaurant is within a hotel and museum.  Really enjoyed the museum after dinner.
