One of Clearwater’s Best Dining Experiences
Indulge in seasonally inspired cuisine and organic wine
Named for the loggerhead sea turtles that grace our shores, Caretta on the Gulf invites guests to experience Clearwater’s only AAA Four-Diamond Awarded restaurant. Breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico are complemented by fresh, seasonally-inspired cuisine. In addition to the Caretta on the Gulf dinner menu, we offer Private Dinners in both our Wine Room and Private Dining Room with a nice selection of limited menus where our Manager’s can pair multiple wines with each course. Caretta’s enjoys an inviting atmosphere where jackets aren’t required to dine in style and guests can choose from both indoor and outdoor seating.
