Proper Grit - (Near West Palm Beach, FL)

5 /5 Ray P: Located at The Ben in downtown West Palm Beach, this restaurant should not be missed. The service was great all around. From the valets, to the doorman, to the hostesses, and our server, everyone was friendly and gracious. We ordered the Truffle Frites Au Fromage as an appetizer, and were blown away. The fries come with a Gruyère fondue that you can pour over tlhem. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside. The nuttiness and sweetness of the cheese will make you reevaluate all of your prior cheese fries decisions. I had the Pastrami Spiced Pork Chop. It had good flavor and was well cooked. But the Red Cabbage Mostarda that it came with melted in my mouth and I couldn’t get enough For dessert, we ordered the Carrot Cake. It had bits of pineapple and some candied nuts sprinkled on top and was served with some spiced whipped cream. This slice of cake may change your life. In my opinion, it’s one of the top desserts Palm Beach County. It is delightful I know that this is a long review. But hear me out. We went on a Saturday night in December There’s ice skating across the street, there’s Sandi the Christmas tree within walking distance, and a lot going on downtown right now. More people should’ve been at this restaurant. For a place this good, there should not have been as many empty tables. Was it dead? No. Were there patrons at the bar? Yes. But more people need to come and try Proper Grit. The service is great. The vibes are immaculate. And most importantly, the food is delicious

4 /5 Saqui R: Good spot to have an early morning breakfast. I gave it a 4 as for hotels it’s a bit harder to get a higher rating. We had an outstanding waiter Gabriel. Very nice and personable. He does a great job, and makes sure you get the service you need. The restaurant is beautiful and the decor is right on. We will have to come to the Ben more often.

3 /5 Glenn Cunningham: Went with a group of 8 people, the restaurant itself is very nice. Bartender was distracted, took about 5 minutes to order a drink at a bar with no one else at. Drinks were very good and he was attentive. Sat for dinner, our waiter Mark was awesome for what its worth! My annoyance comes on settling the check, the manager refused to split it 4 ways, or even 2 ways in a specific amount. May sound like a petty complaint but when its 4 couples its not easy to have 1 or 2 people pay and then figure out how much you owe them afterwards, especially when the machines are very capable of splitting. Seems like a small ask for an $800 bill, but alas. Food was decent, maybe a tad overpriced. Still would debate on returning.

5 /5 Cassandra Lampiasi: Gigi was awesome and attentive. The swordfish on the blt was excellent. It was a hectic morning for us but the proper grit crew was extremely accommodating to us. Will definitely recommend to friends.

5 /5 Ashley K: I stayed for a couple of nights at the Ben Hotel the service was amazing, from the moment you arrive to the moment you check out, the staff takes phenomenal care of you and ensures your stay is smooth and they accommodate you at any time of needs. Beautiful restaurants & cozy atmosphere. Would like to personally highlight the Coffee Bar where I was greeted with warm and welcoming attitude by Jermina and Sofia. Coffee was very delicious & the girls were so sweet and awesome !
