Dining Out - Trina’s arrival in Fort Lauderdale brought a welcome taste of Big Apple fabulousness to South Florida
Epicurious - The room is standard dark wood and crisp white tablecloths, while the crowd is a mix of local young professionals and New York snowbirds
Fodor's...eyefuls of Fort Lauderdale beach during breakfast or lunch... but come dinner time your focus will shift to the crackling activity in the open kitchen and among the well-heeled crowd.
Frommer's "A bona fide dining hot spot like this is one is a novelty to the area because restaurants this hot usually open in Miami, not Fort Lauderdale."

Hi-Life is one of those rare restaurants that keeps getting better. The space has doubled to two rooms with a wine bar, becoming more upscale while remaining cozy and intimate. The setting is romantic, with fresh flowers and candlelight.
