    Decorated for the holiday season
    Jessica W.

    Had a wonderful brunch to celebrate my friend's birthday. Had never been here but let me tell you, it is absolutely beautiful inside. Menu incorporates sweet and savory options with coffee drinks along with a bar. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Would absolutely go back, especially for the fries!

    A wonderful local offering in the small town of Orland. We decided to drive over from Chico to celebrate our weekly Wed-niversary - we got married on a Wednesday and we have a date on every Wednesday. Last night it was 4 years, 7 months, and 28 days. We always share this story with our server(s). We'd been there for lunch but this was our first dinner. First and most importantly, Hannah and Lucia were just wonderful. Friendly, professional and listened to all of our stories and shared a few of their own. For the most part, the meal was incredible. The Brussles Sprouts the best we've had. Big sprouts with feta, bacon,Hawiian honey crusted walnuts and a little spice. We'll never forget. My cocktail the Pomegrante Lemoncello Lemon Drop was luscious. Served straight-up in a martini glass sans ice. Thank you very much! I had the lettuce wraps for my entree (lettuce cups filled with sweet, spicy & tangy slaw, crushed won-ton strips, soy herb chicken breast) - again, the best - and shared one with my huband! Excellent portion, I brought two home. My husband had the Chicken Marsala. The mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and seasonal vegetable were wonderful. But the Chicken was lacking in flavor - no essence of the Marsala - we both agreed. I had also ordered some Hive-made pickles - they need more pickling spices and some crunch. One other small matter was that our table was off blance (the two-top by the sidedoor that looks out on the side street). We did let Hannah and Lucia know about all of these good and bads. Hope they shared the hiccups with management. We enjoy The Hive and Orland. The hiccups won't keep us from coming back.

    We loved The Hive! My girlfriend lives in Redding and I'm in Dixon. We met up at The Hive in Orland for dinner. It was the first time for me and I fell in love with it! The ambience is adorable, yet upscale. We were approached by a hostess and when she found out it was our first time, she gave us a mini-tour and background explanation. She sat us at a table for 2 and we were able to chat comfortably. We ordered pretty quickly and then our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. We ordered the Brussels Sprouts to share and Mara got the Cobb Salad and I ordered the Steak Salad. The Brussels Sprouts was delicious. Perfectly sweet and a little spicy with a crunch! Both our salads were filling and tasty. The bread and honey butter were a great start to the meal. The entrance to the bathroom is outside, so keep that in mind in inclement weather. Overall, this was a super fun experience and we highly recommend it!!

    Chilaquiles
    Anjanette S.

    This was my first time at The Hive. My friends & family have raved about it for at least a year. I met my son & GF for brunch & was not disappointed. We sat at the VERY large/long bar with THE most comfortable seats. My son had Gorgonzola burger & fries, GF had bacon-cheese burger & fries & I had really good chilaquiles! The only less than perfect was I ordered over medium eggs & I got well done eggs, which would have helped with the spice level. The chilaquiles were still great, I can't say that for other places I've had them. The bartender, Evan was our server, he was fun & great service. He made a great expresso martini as well. Highly recommend whether you're driving up or down I-5 for a meal. They were quick!

    Brussel sprouts.., so delicious!
    Jacquelyn M.

    Delicious 11th Anniversary Dinner! The new fall menu was delicious. We had three starters and two entrées. We LOVED the Brussel Sprouts! Perfectly balanced and cooked. We've been to so many places where they get the brussels sprout wrong . The food looked artistic and plated well. The only negative I would say is the honey walnut shrimp sauce was a little bit too sweet. I personally didn't want to finish the quinoa on the bottom due to the sweetness. The fall flatbread is a very shareable starter. Our server was attentive. It was a busy night and he was hustling. I couldn't decide on what kind of wine I wanted. He was so kind and brought me the choice I thought I wanted and another one to sample. Love the atmosphere. It wasn't too loud. The bee theme is tastefully done . Loved the hive style lighting. We dessert home! Can't wait to take bite of the cheesecake & trifle we got

    Stuffed French toast
    Denise T.

    Another lovely meal in Orland. Tried brunch menu this time and enjoyed the rich stuffed French toast. The cream cheese filling was sweet and rich with that honey flavor. The brioche bread was the perfect compliment without feeling like it was just bread. Perfect crispness on the bacon too. Salty to set off the sweet syrup. My server, Betty, was super friendly too.

    Chilaquiles special
    Anna T.

    Great place to stop on a road trip! Unique and yummy. Worth the price in my opinion. I had the chilaquiles special, which was really flavorful and well done. It had meat cooked along with the chips and the sauce was really rich. My husband had the Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was very good. Again, very good quality ingredients. My kids had the chocolate chip pancakes and grilled cheese. I like that breakfast was still available for lunch. The pancakes were really delicious, I did help him finish those pancakes. They had a cute gift shop area with some different honey products but the highlight for my family was the bee observatory. That was so cool! And my kids were mesmerized. There were other parts to the restaurant we didn't try, including a café, a case of pastries. If I was local, this should be a regular spot for me. Staff were all very personable and attentive, and I was greeted by a number of people. The building doesn't look like much from the road, it's a bit hidden, but the interior and exterior of it were all recently updated and very modern. Will keep the Hive in mind for any road trips that bring us through this area. Very cute touch to get Honeysticks when we got the bill. Thank you!

    Had a wonderful brunch experience at The Hive Kitchen and Bar. We come to Orland yearly to camp at a nearby Buckhorn Campground and this was our first time dining here and will surely be coming back...Unique nice ambiance, great food and friendly staff especially our server for the day - Betty, you're the best! Make sure to check their Bee hive and Souvenir store for their organic Honey and cap

    It's me just letting you know The Hive  is my Fav Place in town
    Christina M.

    Every time I've gone to Hive, I've had nothing but I still are experience anytime my friends or family are in town. We go here for Sunday morning brunch. I've had flowers delivered. I purchased, honey. I've got cupcakes from the bakery and picked up Epic food whenever I did not feel like cooking. The staff are super friendly. The ambience is upbeat and chic, menu has high-quality ingredients and we love their champagne. Flights don't forget to look for local bands in special evenings when the wine is discounted or you can listen to live music we need more places like this in town.

    Yeonhwa S.

    Their food is pretty whatever but it's a super cool shop in general lol They have a chocolatier, bakery, souvenir shop (with honey, tshirts, etc) with their restaurant. There was a panel with bees inside too, which was interesting to see while waiting for food. They did a fantastic job with the interior design as well, very modern and bee themed Servers were nice and there was plenty of street parking.

    This rating is based on two recent experiences. The first was a catering order I placed over the phone for delivery to a residential address. I think (Mindy) was her name and she was very easy to coordinate with, gave suggestions, pricing, and the delivery was right on time. I heard lots of great things about the food but I couldn't try it as I am allergic (ordered wings, garlic bread, potato salad). The 2nd was an in-person visit. Pros were that the server was very friendly, the place was cute and large, nice portions and good variety. The actual service was extremely slow. We had a reservation for 5 and were seated promptly. It took 45 mins for our food to arrive and they had put cheese in my omelette when I asked for no cheese. Took another 25 mins to get a new omelette. Took another 15 mins to get 2 pieces of dessert for the kids. We were comped half of my omelette price but really? At that point just give it free. Food itself was good. So a solid 3.5 star experience. One of the better places in town though I'm sure.

Its a casual yet classy place for lunch and dinner. They have a shaded patio in front as well ( dog friendly). I love smaller towns! Relatively no traffic or crime! My boyfriend and I ordered off the lunch specials menu. He ordered the smash burger and chose macaroni salad. I ordered the grilled shrimp on a skewer with brown rice and spicy coleslaw. We always try each other's food! The smash burger was juicy and the macaroni salad was good! My shrimp had a nice grill on it and the coleslaw was delicious. The brown rice was alittle dry for my taste buds. It has a full bar with tvs to watch sports. There is quieter seating on the other side of the bar area. Overall it was a good experience!

    Issuing a rare 5 stars here, but The Beehive is truly special…read more On our low-stimulus, off-the-grid vacation, a trip down from the mountain had us stop in for a late lunch/early dinner right at 4pm. We couldn't have prepared for the quality, and memorable nature of the meal we were served. Cannot recommend this enough for readers. Arrival and Seating: First, the welcome was warm and the service attentive--even at the start of the shift with a lightly-staffed crew. We were greeted in a warm manner by a fellow wearing a SF Giants cap (always a good sign), and invited to choose our table. We sat indoors on a warm day (it was about 95ºF) window-side, and enjoys wicker and bee-themed decor. The chairs had a relaxed shape that had me slouching (in comfort) immediately. Drinks: As I was driving, my partner ordered to his palate--which included two mezcal drinks. The first was the Tropical Storm, which had a great balance of passionfruit, pineapple and lime against a well chosen mezcal--smoky, but not acrid as can sometimes burden the spirit. The second bevvy was the She Devil and was a spirit-forward drink combining smoky mezcal and Xila with herbaceous Strega and Aperol (or Amaro in course case), balanced against lime. All delicious, as I confirmed with poison-tester sips. Tapas: We compared the tuna; on the Smoky Ahi Tuna, the flavor of mezcal was incredibly unique; on the Chicharrón de Aton, the texture of the fried tuna was nice and chewy, along with a spicy Fresno chili garnish. Entrees: My partner had the burger, which was juicy and served evenly cooked for medium--which we found desirable. An unlikely star on the plate, however, was the papayas braves substituted as a side. Their sweet berry glaze (blackberry?) made them almost like candy, and was perfectly balanced with a chèvre aioli. I went with the Chicken Poblano Pasta (never had fettuccine with corn sauce, I thought), and whoo boy was I in for a treat. The sauce was verdant on account of the poblano pepper, which lent a great flavor. Balanced against it was the corn, which was both grounding and provided a pesto-like texture. It was a hearty proportion with the large grilled chicken breast, but we came hungry and I left no crumbs. Last Thoughts This modest little restaurant in a modest little Northern California town was so good it became a memorable experience in itself on our modest little vacation. We left content (and full), and feeling good. I hope you have a chance to stop in, and leave feeling the same.

It didn't look very large, but he ate the entire thing, and he was quite full. I too tasted the flour tortilla shell and we were both pretty happy that it was freshly made. Most restaurants either use old oil or make the shells days in advance so they end up being rancid and stale, but not this one. Jess, the owner, came out at one point to see how everything was. I told her the food was wonderful. I saw others commenting online about the prices being expensive, but I told her it's well worth paying a bit more for quality fresh food.
