Bee's Knees Provisions

I came right at the beginning of dinner service and had a great experience. Beef meatballs were yummy and I could never turn down a cheese board. Lots of fresh fruits and they are not skimpy on the cheese selections. Can’t wait to come back next time in in this beautiful area.

Quality foods with warm atmosphere.

As a long time veteran to the neighborhood this is a welcome establishment that hits all the notes. In the morning I grab an amazing coffee drink and breakfast taco to go. For brunch for the most part there is space and the service is great and food is awesome as are portions. I have also had to make last minute plans when we have guests coming over and no groceries and their order to go for cheese plates and other items are awesome. A great place to have in the neighborhood and very reminiscent of Stinkys but a greater range of options

I never write reviews but this was an experience I’ve never had at a restaurant in my life. I don’t know if the server was just having a really bad day or what, but I came in to have brunch with my friend for the first time today at Bee’s Provision and experienced the following. The server at the coffee counter was extremely nice. He welcomed me in and asked if I wanted to dine in, which I did, and told me to help myself to a seat in the back. The entire dining room was empty except for one couple. I saw a booth and sat down and immediately was confronted by the rudest waiter I’ve even spoken to. He started yelling at me asking me what I was doing if I had a reservation (I did not) and said I couldn’t just sit wherever and do whatever wanted. I apologized and said that the coffee counter employee told me to find a seat. He yelled back at me “THATS NOT HIS DECISION, ITS MINE TO MAKE” rudely asked how many in my party. He instructed me not to sit at the booth (which is fine because I understand that it is for a party of four) and that I could sit anywhere at a TWO PERSON TABLE. I remained calm and tried to be as nice and apologetic as I could. I’ve never been yelled at from a server like that in a completely empty restaurant. I was excited to try this place and I sat down for a second, but decided that this waiter was going to make my dining experience really uncomfortable so I left. I told the barista, who look stunned, that I was going to go find somewhere else to eat because I felt so incredibly uncomfortable and unwelcome there. I’m sad because everything about this place is cute, the food looked delicious but I don’t need to torture myself with a bad dining experience. Hopefully that person isn’t the owner. Won’t be going back, a bit scared to have the same experience again.

Lovely spot in our neighborhood. Came here for early dinner and oyster happy hour. The oysters were amazing, some of the best I’ve had in the city. Everyone in our party was happy with their food, and the service was great. Prices are also very reasonable. Can’t wait to come back again!

Such a wonderful place to visit and then sit and enjoy the hours go by. I picked up a few items in the the provisions store which grabbed my attention. Then I thought, let me take a look beyond the front and...Voila! a speak easy/charcuterie with amazing decor, selection of food and drinks and best of all families enjoying board games. What a true gem on Smith Street! Highly recommended to put your head through the door and be wonderfully surprised
