Banter operates as the all-day restaurant of the Canopy by Hilton in downtown West Palm Beach, a few blocks from Clematis Street and the waterfront. The space runs breakfast and brunch into lunch, dinner, and cocktails, with a coastal-leaning, modern American menu built around fresh, seasonal ingredients alongside coffee and espresso service.
Executive Chef Adonis Steel leads the kitchen, having started his career training under Michelin-starred chefs in California's Sonoma wine country, where he built a foundation in French fine dining and farm-to-table cooking. After moving to Florida, he began working Caribbean flavors into that base, and now oversees the food and cocktail program at Canopy by Hilton. Sous Chef William Foster, who came up cooking family and global recipes, supports the kitchen day to day.
As a hotel restaurant, Banter draws both overnight guests and downtown locals looking for a central spot to eat or meet across any part of the day.
