Kitchen West Palm Beach, opened in 2013 by Matthew and Aliza Byrne, was designed to feel like an extension of their own home—intimate, quietly sophisticated, and rooted in honest cooking. Conceived as a contemporary brasserie, the restaurant blends classic technique with a modern, pared-back sensibility. The philosophy is simple: source the freshest ingredients and let them shine with minimal intervention. The result is an ever-changing, deeply seasonal menu that feels personal and thoughtfully crafted. It’s the kind of place that attracts true food lovers—people who appreciate simplicity executed at its highest level. What feels simple from the outside gives way to something unexpectedly special the moment you walk in.
