Came here for Thanksgiving buffet brunch and what an amazing time we had. The food was excellent the bottomless mimosas were perfection (the right amount of champagne to orange juice ratio) and the live music added to the beautiful ambiance. Plus this was only $44 per person which included the buffet, bottomless mimosas, tax, and tip (crazy good deal)!!! I highly recommend especially if you are not looking to cook on Thanksgiving. We will definitely be doing this next year! read more

We came in for brunch and had a mixed experience. The restaurant is gorgeous and has a great vibe. The menu is really cool and all of their options were appealing. The staff were nice, but it felt like they could use another server on the floor. Our waitress did her best, but the wait for our food was so long. That's really why I can't give more stars. The food was good though! I got the breakfast skillet and it was really tasty. I also enjoyed the bottled green juice I had. I would give this place another try, but I hope they can do something about the wait time. They were not that busy, and it was excessive. read more

Banter Restaurant - Breakfast Skillet - New American Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

This was a disaster from the get go as we were supposed to have reservations at Treehouse for New Year's Eve only to be called a week before and told we do not have reservations and it was a mistake by Open Table. They offered us Banter and said they would discount us. Their famous crab dip was sold out that night and the rest of the food we had was disappointing and mediocre. Plus it's essentially a lobby bar so not a restaurant like we had thought. So our NYE started out with a whimper. read more

Went for girls brunch. It is a nice restaurant at the lobby on the canopy hotel. Has a lot of wood decorations making it look rustic. Service was good overall and our server was very kind. The mimosas were really good. I wish they had bottomless though. We shared the biscuit with bacon and both were delicious. Definitely the star of our meal. For main I had the avocado toast and it was very filling and flavorful. This is definitely a place to come if you want chill vibes and a nice casual date brunch or with your close friends. read more

Decent food, cute decor/ambiance. Took forever to be acknowledged after being seated. Coffee arrived after the food did. Had to walk up to the counter to close out cause I got tired of waiting to ask for my check, wasn't even that busy in there...food isn't expensive, but it's pretty boring for the price point, and the HVAC sucks/hot and muggy as hell in there. read more

Pretty good breakfast & brunch menu- we enjoy coming here because the ambiance is lovely. Large glass windows on one side of the hotel restaurant, allow plenty of sunlight to come in, with several plants scattered throughout. Sometimes they have an artist playing music which is a nice touch, and they always allow us to bring our dog (very dog-friendly hotel). The menu has a pretty wide selection from basic eggs and bacon, to lemon ricotta pancakes, to avocado toast! (The later brunch menu has more options like burgers and salads). Their smashed fingerling potatoes are my favorite- they're cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection! Enjoy breakfast here with our pup and will come again. read more

I first off would like to give a shoutout to our amazing team waitress, Hillary. She was so friendly and did such an amazing job attending to gluten allergies. Having said that, be careful because the menu isn't updated so if it says gluten free be sure to double check with your server first. The food was delicious and so was the service and there is street parking available. It's a very nice ambiance and it's located in a Hilton hotel on the main floor. I recommend this spot. read more

My experience at Bantar Restaurant was extremely disappointing. We waited nearly an hour and received little to no attention from the staff. It seemed like there was not enough help available, and no one communicated with us about the delay. The service was disorganized, frustrating, and left us feeling completely ignored. The food may have been decent, but the poor customer service overshadowed everything else. Spending that much time waiting without updates or assistance is unacceptable. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experience. read more

I came here for my birthday brunch, and unfortunately the overall experience was disappointing. My party of four arrived a few minutes early for our 10:30 am reservation, but no one greeted us when we walked in. I had to ask an employee at the coffee bar where the hostess (a woman with a long brown ponytail) was, and I was met with condescending comments. When I mentioned we had a 10:30 reservation, I was given a blank stare in response. Our server, Sofia, had an attitude throughout the meal, and the wait between ordering and receiving our food was excessive. I understand many restaurants are understaffed and overworked right now, but that's not an excuse for a lack of basic kindness and communication. The food didn't make up for the service. I ordered the lobster Benedict, and the lobster was overcooked to the point of being difficult to chew. My friend's French toast was so hard she could barely cut into it. Overall, this isn't a place I'd recommend, and I hope management takes a hard look at the service and food quality. It wasn't the start I wanted for my birthday celebration. read more

Food was great drinks were better. They got a real rockstar in Fabian the service was great. Cool place.

Came here for brunch and was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. We ordered several brunch appetizers and also Entrees and they were all very savory and the presentation was beautiful. I had a mimosa and a friend also had coffee and everyone loved their drinks. I like that after brunch you can go to the top treehouse bar and enjoy a nice rooftop view and their delicious cocktails. I'd come back! Food was great! The place is pretty and roomy. Our server was a bit slow with the food. The only thing I didn't like was the French toast, it was a bit dry. read more

Beautiful decor and could be a fun place for a date. I came for happy hour and bingo after and was greeted by who I assume was the manager- I believe his name was Jose. He was incredibly kind and professional. He seated us for happy hour as the bar was full. Service was average as my water glass was rarely refilled and we had trouble ordering a second drink after our meal as we were staying after happy hour to play bingo. I want sure who our server was as this place appeared short staff on a night they knew they were hosting an event and a large reservation. The wait staff could've had better hospitality. This hotel does a lot of events and I want to check out more, but Good As Gold hosted Bingo and they do some of the best events around South Florida. It also took forever for someone to take our dirty plates from the table as the tables are small and we ordered four items from the happy hour menu to share. The mushroom truffle flatbread is more like a regular pizza but is so good. There's a sweet honey taste with the truffle and cheese that really goes well together. I may come back for happy hour again although the dynamic for customers is way older than I and I enjoy being in a mix. read more

Great service by Johana she made our breakfast great super attentive. The place was very clean and had a great atmosphere.

We love Banter for it's ambiance, with the lovely atrium, open air feeling, and good food, made to order. We were not guests of the Hilton this time, but were treated like royalty at this hotel restaurant. We wanted a full breakfast, and got it. I enjoyed a choose your own omelet of veggies and bacon, served with toast and a huge bowl of fresh fruit, with an option of potatoes. Hubby had his "tell-them-how-to-make-it Hobo skillet," of over-easy eggs, cheese, bacon, and potatoes, which was not on the menu. They happily accommodated. Coffee was served in a pot for refills, and also a bottle of purified water. Michelle, our server, could not have been sweeter or more competent. We shared some Italy stories, and generally felt very welcomed. All in all a very enjoyable breakfast. read more

The food here is really, really good. Believe it or not, they had the best fried rice we have ever had, even in a high end Chinese restaurant! So good. I had the prosciutto flatbread with balsamic onions, cranberry goat cheese parm cheese and fresh arugula, delicious! Jennifer, our bartender was very good at mixing hubby's Long Island ice tea. A large group of young people from a close by apartment building came in to celebrate a birthday. Jennifer greeted each one by name. The service was perfect, the ambiance was perfect, the floor to ceiling windows were perfect watching passersby getting whipped by the pelting rain and wind. I highly recommend Banter! read more

My Bartender Seth was the best bartender I ever had. I was having a rough day so I needed a drink he was really talkative and at this moment I really needed it that. Ill be more often at the canopy if he's here. read more

food was cool. very loud live music which kind of soured our experience because we practically had to shout to make conversation. the scenery in the restaurant is cute nonetheless. the omelet was a little underseasoned read more

No vegan options. Waited over 90 minutes for food. Our waiter came to apologize for the wait and brought us fresh drinks... which we were charged for. Our table was wobbly and our drinks spilled immediately. I asked our waiter for help and he handed me napkins. After cleaning up our table myself and mopping up at least $5 of my $15 drink, our waiter crawled under our table and attempted to stuff napkins under the table leg. The drink was decent and my arugula with mushrooms (not on the menu) was good but my boyfriend wasn't impressed with the 4 mushroom ravioli he recieved as a main course . Honestly, avoid this spot. Cute atmosphere but everything else here is just awful. read more

Food was great but service is very slow. They seemed annoyed when they got my order wrong and complained about me within earshot

A must see spot if you're visiting west palm, great food, great service, great environment.

I checked the website ahead of going- valet is listed as $8 and the restaurant hours for Sunday brunch as 11-3. I pulled up, and valet is $16. Not a big deal, but how hard is it to update the website? I walk into the Canopy atrium at 1:00 and see my friends, but the entrance to Banter is roped off- not particularly inviting. I walk around the side to join the group, and notice a pile of dirt on the floor- also not particularly inviting or clean. When ordering, I requested an iced tea. The waitress told me they didn't have an iced tea. Wait, there's a full bar but no iced tea? The restaurant was well below 50% capacity and it took 40 minutes for us to get our food. I understand we were a large group, but 4 orders of French Toast arrived cold. While we were eating, a staff member began mopping the restaurant. Half of the table had their plates cleared while the other half were still eating- this was partially a result of the food coming out at staggered time despite all of us ordering at once. One member of our party had to wait well after we were all served to get his meal. The lack of hospitality and professionalism was noticed by several members of our party. Our reservation was at 1, well within the posted brunch hours, but it felt like we were a major imposition (while we were the only table there from 2-3). Our group submitted 1 credit card for payment and the payment process still took nearly 30 minutes. During this time, the waitress and the bartender chatted in a now empty restaurant while the phone at the bar rang incessantly. Upon leaving, the pile of dirt in the restaurant/atrium still remained. The valet team tried to get me to pay a second time and, despite there being half a dozen valet employees available, none asked for my ticket. It took 20 minutes to get my car even though there appeared to be plenty of staff and no one else submitted their ticket while I waited. Overall, it felt like a lot of time has gone into the appearance of the restaurant but not nearly as much attention has been paid to the actual operation. read more

Banter Restaurant - New American Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

Service was not very good. Nice atmosphere. I ordered the Chino Cubano fried rice. It was just ok - although, it was not cooked as ordered. The menu said the egg is "sunny" so I asked for it to be cooked all the way, but it still came out sunny side up. Server never came to check on me to see if everything was ok. Also, I would suggest the menu adds all items that are part of the dish. For example, it included onions, carrots, & peas - none of which the menu mentioned. If I return, it would only be for drinks and maybe appetizers. Also, gratuity was included although my check was just for myself. There was no party of 6 or more. The menu states gratuity is included for parties of 6 or more. My check should not have included gratuity! read more

Banter Restaurant - Not sure why gratuity was included. It shouldn't have been. Menu said gratuity is included for parties of 6 or more. - New American Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

Service is very slow. Had to ask for drink refills every time. Disappointing. Will not be back.

WoW! The best hotel bar I've been to in a very long time. The bartenders Hillary and Jenn are so much fun! It's nice being waited on by professionals who have knowledge of coctails and spirits. Hillary answered all of my questions about the menu, and the food came out hot and in a timely mannor. My swordfish was cooked perfectly. I would give this place 6 STARS based on the service alone. I highly recommend Banter if you're in the West Palm Beach area. read more

What a great place to eat and hang! Relaxed atmosphere with light music in the background allowing for conversation. Bar servers Hillary and Jennifer are the best; both personal and fun! They really make the time enjoyable. Love love the calamari, the actual best anywhere and I order it everywhere. Tuna poke, kale and brussels cesar salad, mushroom ravioli and the lobster Mac and cheese are just examples of really good tasting treats. Do enjoy and be sure to say hi to Jen and Hillary! read more

Best bar in PB for happy hour. Food is excellent! Service is even better. Jennifer and Hillary are a great team. Always a great experience. My only complaint would be the happy hour menu needs hot wings. read more

Genesis was super friendly and supplied great customer service. Fast and efficient! Would highly recommend this place.

You have to experience banter - if not for the amazing food, drinks and vibes, but for the unbelievable service from Fiorella and ceaser. In a busy Friday evening, they made sure to go OUT OF THEIR WAY and ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure every step of our experience was 5 star. It felt like a Michelin star restaurant but within the friendly streets of downtown west palm beach. I consider myself very lucky to have dined with them! read more

We booked the Thanksgiving brunch, and were very disappointed. There were two seatings- 11:00am and 1:30 pm; we choose the latter. With those specific times, we thought there would be a fresh presentation of hot food for the second seating. Instead we found several offerings to be cold. The pastries were flavorless and might have been a bulk frozen purchase. The menu included sliced turkey breast and prime rib. The turkey was more like a loaf; the gravy was congealed and cold. The fruit table included a fruit parfait made with yogurt. Within 30 minutes, there were gone and I asked if more were being prepared. I was told no, but the server found a packaged fruit and yogurt in a cup which was very thoughtful of her. The servers did their best but there didn't seem to be anyone in charge. The best part of the meal was the omelet station. Overall an underwhelming and disappointing experience. read more

I can't say enough about this place. The atmosphere, the energy, the aesthetic. They recently just opened for dinner and have some of the most amazing food and drinks in town!

Banter Restaurant - The dining area - New American Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

Banter is a nice restaurant that is part of the Canopy Hotel in downtown West Palm. We went for Happy Hour on a Friday night and the place had a singer with guitar playing live music, not too loud. For Happy Hour you can only sit at the bar, so we sat at the bar and began to order a nice assortment of their Happy Hour fare. We started with the BBB flatbread, which was average at best. We probably wouldn't order that one again. We also got the Thai Calamari which at $5 for the plate, was really a good deal. But the highlight of the happy hour menu was the $5 crispy Chicken a la brava. It was their take on a chicken wing and it was great. When we go back, we will definitely order more than one of these. We then ordered the Pork Chop from the regular menu because it looked so good on their Instagram feed. The taste and presentation were great, but I believe the pork chop was deep fried or something so it was really hard to eat. Almost like Chicharron consistency. Also, it's like $34 so we would definitely not order this one again. The place is really beautiful, drinks are good, happy hour menu is great...only let down was that pork chop. Also be careful, gratuity is included in the check but no one says anything and it's only printed on the customer copy, not the merchant copy. read more

Atmosphere very cool. Happy hour menu confusing. Just tell us or give us the HH menu. Food was good, but we ordered the margarita flat bread with fig balsamic drizzle, only no drizzle on ours. Ordered truffle fries for $9, great price right? Only when bill came it said $10? I know, it's only a buck but.. when we questioned it she said it's because they're from the regular menu. I said I've pulled up the menu on line at it says $9. She went to check, told us we were correct. New bill came, still said $10. Also 20% gratuity added. No need to return. read more

The food is delicious! The chef make phenomenal food every single time! It's a beautiful environment and the drink are also just as good. I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

Had trouble on day one with this poorly managed hotel restaurant. Sign upon entry said please wait to be seated. 10-12 times in 10 minutes the help just looks at me. Eventually a employee asked me if I needed help? Breakfast please I said. She looked at me like I was nuts. "It's open seating" and when I pointed to the sign she walked away. Same woman gave me dirty look next day and the next day. I continued to eat there tipping 30% since my waitress was great and took care of me. Food was good. The fourth day I walked pasted the sign to eat and was stopped by an employee and told to wait for 10 minutes. That was it for me. Especially since I rely on my hotel when I travel to feed me. BTW, they don't serve lunch. Big hotel and you can't eat lunch there. I am a loyal customer and tip housekeepers and all staff abundantly. Some hotels don't deserve that. Won't stay at Canopy Hotels anymore. I am finding all the lousy Hilton Properties. Time to go back to Marriot ! read more
