Proper Grit at The Ben West Palm Hotel
251 N Narcissus Ave, West Palm Beach, FL 33401
Tel: (561) 655-4001
Classic Floridian hospitality, the pioneering legend of Mrs. Byrd Dewey’s conviviality, and comforting modern cocktails and cuisine. Elegantly set in our dining room paying homage to Old Florida’s regal beginnings mixed with the warm, casual comforts of home.
Executive chef Andre Sattler and Chef de Cuisine Jesse Pita present a collection of Old Florida flavors interpreted with proper preparations. We are a chophouse inspired by the fresh fare of our regional roots, the distinct culture of our community and the pioneering spirit of Mrs. Byrd Dewey.
Proper Grit will be open to hotel guests and the public for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner daily and will serve fresh, locally-sourced fare. Playful interpretations of classic dishes take from the “proper” while local flair and the Florida pioneering spirit drive the “grit.” The unity between these two seemingly opposing forces will drive the creativity and unique dining experience at the restaurant, where guests can expect premium quality ingredients from South Florida with a twist of modern flavors.
