The building at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Selkirk Street in West Palm Beach will soon be home to new restaurant from Chef Matthew Byrne , the chef who brought the popular restaurant Kitchen to West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens .
At that restaurant, “a contemporary American Brasserie focusing on passionately prepared, refined and flavorful fare with warm and welcoming service,” Byrne and his business partner and wife Aliza Byrne have built years of experience a strong local following.
“Chef Matthew Byrne started cooking at the age of 13 with his grandmother,” says a biography on the Kitchen website . “Ten years later he was working at Philadelphia’s finest restaurants. His talent, creativity and energy was recognized by Philadelphia’s elite and lead him into the private chef industry. After working between Philadelphia and Palm Beach for 12 years, Matthew was recruited by Tiger Woods as his private chef.”
Now, the Byrnes’ next step appears to be a new concept with a pub vibe. The couple are at work on a new concept referred to in submitted plan review paperwork as Mr. B’s Tavern . The paperwork shows Mr. B’s Tavern opening at 5201 Georgia Avenue.
