About this restaurant

Charming
Great for creative cocktails
Good for special occasions

Dining at The Ben is upscale and comfortably local, infused with inspiration, representing the social city center of West Palm and the time-honor spirit of sharing. For banquets or meeting breaks, work retreats or weddings, the options are endless.

Fun is at the heart of it – local leaders meet at our stylish signature restaurant Proper Grit for appetizers or entrees with a side of innovation; business travelers find comfortable corners to loosen up over crafted cocktails, and groups gather at the rooftop bar Spruzzo to plan the next day’s agenda over uniquely crafted cocktails, micro-brewed beers and a wide variety of award-winning wines and spirits.

The ambience and service was immaculate but the food was expensive and awful. We also had espresso martinis that were pretty good, a little rich but drinkable, also very expensive. I don’t mind paying good money for food, but it needs to be good!

The brunch was delicious. My husband and I both got the Pioneer breakfast. Everything was delicious. Loved the sausage and potatoes, the eggs were cooked just right and the multigrain toast was delicious. Service was very friendly and efficient. Loved the decor. We will definitely be going back.

Well, our waiter Rudy was excellent but The front desk staff were not very nice when we asked him for a nice table for two and instead placed us essentially in the middle of the hallway.

My husband and I had a perfect evening at Proper Grit. Our server, Shannon, was knowledgeable and friendly. He was very in tune with the menu and all it's offerings, and guided us to the best meal we've had in a long time. We had the Hanging Bacon (which wasn't on the menu at the time, but Shannon put in a special request for us), the Mango Habenero Chicken Wings, and the Prime Ribeye. Our drinks were The Ben Old Fashion and the Golden Hour. Everything was phenomenal. We will definitely be back, and will ask for Shannon every time.

This is my second time coming here. Both times are amazing. The only downfall for the second time was the service. The server could have done a better job. He wasn't bad, but the lack of interest he showed. Anyway, good food, a beautiful location, and is very clean.
