Sister's Birthday and Caretta's is her favorite place to celebrate! We were a little early for our reservations, so we headed into the bar for a drink. The server was SO Great that we gave up our table in the dining room to stay with her. Turns out, "Argela", our server, made this visit an Outstanding Experience and made her feel very special on her birthday!! Drinks and wine were Really good!! Appetizers were out quickly and were quite tasty!! A Poke' bowl, the Short Rib, and the Caprese! All Amazing! Then dinner... The Impossible Bolognese, and a Huge Cobb Salad, Sea Bass over Spaghetti Squash, and a Huge Cheeseburger!!! Everything came out quickly, Hot and Delicious!!! We will be back again Very Soon!!!

My husband and I went to Caretta last night to celebrate our honeymoon, and we were blown away! We started with the organic greens salad, which was delightful. The plating was so creative, and the light dressing was perfect. My husband had a watermelon mojito which was also delicious! They had a huge selection of wines as well. For our main course, we each got the 9 oz. Filet with mixed vegetables and fingerling potatoes. The filet was cooked perfectly to my liking and had so much flavor, even without the red wine sauce (which was also delicious). The potatoes were perfectly cooked with a slight crisp. We finished out dinner with the vanilla bean crème brûlée, which was to die for! Overall, I thought the food was great and matched the prices well. Additionally, our server Taz was a pleasure to interact with. He checked in frequently, and even took some pictures of us during sunset. We will definitely be returning if we ever come back to Clearwater!

This was an extraordinary dining experience. The sunset view both indoor and out were amazing. The food was fantastic, from the scallops , the surf and turf roll was so unique and beautifully presented , the cheese rolls, and the main courses were all excellent. Desserts were also first class. A very nice evening of fine dining.

Loved the diver scallops with bacon and mushrooms. I ordered it two days in a row, same with the caprese salad. The second day I had them keep the balsamic vinegar on the side. The butternut squash soup was excellent. The cheesy rolls were delicious. Great service and fantastic dining experience with nice ocean views.

Do you currently offer Sunday brunch or do you have to order off the menu? Do you still have mimosas for breakfast brunch and what is the additional cost? We will be visiting in Clearwater Beach the middle of May 2021

A meal for under $20 for dinner, doubtful. But you can eat moderately priced meals and enjoy the surroundings.

Dress code for Carretta's?

Patricia Jody | Aug 25, 2018
Nicholas Bruer | Aug 25, 2018

Dress code for Sunday brunch is very casual. We have been there in beach wear most often(shirt, shoes required). Dinner is slightly more formal. Simply a nice shirt and trousers or shorts will suffice. Fancier is, obviously, perfectly acceptable. If you are doing a late night at the bar typical attire is sun-dresses and slacks and shirts. A nicer pair of jeans will do the trick as well.
