Proper Grit

Proper Grit is the Old Florida restaurant inside The Ben, on the ground floor at Narcissus Avenue. Executive Chef Daniel Pundik takes a farm-to-table approach, cooking from scratch with local, seasonal ingredients for elevated American comfort classics, from crisp citrusy salads to savory mains and small plates made for sharing. Start the morning at Byrdie’s, the in-house coffee bar with Floridian coffee, fresh-pressed juices, and pastries made daily. On weekends, reserve the signature Proper Tea, with sweet and savory bites and tea-infused cocktails for the “improper.” It’s a love letter to historic Florida that we’re proud to have downtown.
