You might well fill up on eyefuls of Fort Lauderdale Beach during breakfast or lunch at this spot in the Atlantic hotel, but come dinnertime your focus will shift to the crackling activity in the open kitchen. Trina, of course, is derived from Trinakria, a symbol of the three-legged medusa found on the flag of Sicily. Warm wood tones and minimalist fixtures mirror the Atlantic's restrained elegance. Seafood dominates, with some interesting results: scallops and sweetbreads mingle in one entrée, whereas Florida favorites like snapper and sole yield Mediterranean touches. One successful leitmotif is flatbread: a tasty herbed variation with pancetta at breakfast, or with such toppings as rock shrimp or spicy Moroccan lamb at dinner. Trina Trio might include an appetizer of tuna carpaccio, salmon tartare, and snapper ceviche, or a crème brûlée sampler including coffee, chocolate and, most worthy, coconut. Reservations are recommended.
