PALM BEACH, FL – In the spirit of a true destination resort, The Breakers Palm Beach has cultivated its own culinary talents to create an array of nine distinct restaurant concepts that entice hotel guests and lure locals to enjoy.
Each dining experience has forged its own identity with a unique theme, a varying level of style and a one-of-a-kind setting. “Our goal is for each to be recognized in its own right with the appeal of a free-standing restaurant,” said Nick Velardo, vice president of food & beverage of the Five Diamond resort. “The Breakers is independent of chain affiliation and unhampered by template concepts, and we are passionate about offering high-quality variety.” The team’s entrepreneurial-style success also fostered the development of an off-site restaurant Echo, located only a few blocks from the main hotel on the island of Palm Beach.
