The decor, atmosphere and service were world class. The food, although good, was not up to the world-class standard of the amenities. Go for the ambience and you won't be disappointed.
Well prepared food with complementary flavors, an engaging decor - homey and interesting - an attentive staff - what else do you want? One of our favorites.
Had heard about how charming the Bee & Thistle is to stay however I kept missing hearing how the restaurant within the B&T is today in 2011. I enjoyed the Ginger Seared “Rare” Tuna with Bok Choy Salad, Avocado and Ginger Cucumber. I especially appreciated the pace of the evening. So often at other restaurants you get the feeling of momentum to eat, finish and go. So relaxed, the evening dining at the Bee & Thistle was the event. Go and see!
Wine dinner at the Bee & Thistle was our first with the current owner.The food was terrific the place was packed,but the service was still good.We haven't visited in a while,but would return (hope the food is as good on the regular menu).
A special place for a special dinner. The setting is so divine that you'll have to arrive early to enjoy it. Go an hour early to take in the riverside setting with a glass of wine; stay after dessert to enjoy the setting with a cappuccino. And savor the flavors of the meal in between. Worth every penny!
