Reclaimed wood and brick, Edison bulbs, tufted leather booths, small plates, and an emphasis on "craft" seem to be the main ingredients for a trendy restaurant these days. Set in the base of the boutique Atlantic Resort & Spa on Fort Lauderdale Beach, Beauty & the Feast Bar|Kitchen is perfectly "on trend." With a menu based on sharing — it offers everything from Asian-inspired chicken sliders to an entire suckling pig — the spot aims to offer a fresh and interesting way to dine on the beach, adding to a slew of new concepts that are starting to form a burgeoning scene.
But can it bring the locals back to the beach?
