Food and service were awesome for dinner. We were celebrating our 2 year anniversary. Nate was our server and he was attentive and thoughtful. We had steaks, caprice, salad, and a sushi roll. All of the food was fantastic. My only qualm was that Nate brought the check out before we asked, which left us feeling a pinch rushed. We also got a complimentary vanilla crème brûlée which was awesome.

Carreta on the Gulf – A Culinary Delight with a Few Caveats Carreta on the Gulf delivers an exceptional dining experience, especially when it comes to their sushi. The freshness, presentation, and balance of flavors make it an absolute must-try. Every roll was crafted with precision, and the quality of the seafood truly stood out. However, the lobster bisque was a bit of a disappointment in terms of portion size. While the flavor was rich and indulgent, the serving was almost comically small, especially considering the price tag. For the cost, you’d expect a more generous portion. On the other hand, the coconut shrimp was a game-changer! These were massive, perfectly crispy, and packed with flavor. Pair them with the unforgettable dipping sauce, and you have a dish that’s a must-have for any visit. Overall, Carreta on the Gulf impresses with its high-quality sushi and standout coconut shrimp, but be prepared for some dishes that don’t quite match their price point in portion size. If you’re visiting, definitely go for the sushi and shrimp—you won’t regret it!

The atmosphere and views here are very nice and the service was amazing. However, the food fell short of our expectations. I had the salmon and could not finish it because it felt like I was just eating butter not salmon. The potatoes served with the salmon were very hard and tasted like they were microwaved not properly cooked. The sushi we had was pretty good though as was the Brazilian bread with pesto.

The view of the beach was great from our table. The food was good. The only critique was the tomahawk was over peppered. All the appetizers and the drinks were delicious (we got the Rockefeller oysters, wagyu short ribs, smoked old fashioned, and the beach martini). Our server was very knowledgeable and continued to check on us throughout the meal. We will definitely eat here again.

We had an amazing meal at Caretta this evening. Our server Dane was kind and knowledgeable, and had wonderful food and drink suggestions. We arrived at 8 and we were able to have an amazing sunset view as we dined. The bread was divine-- especially the cheese (Cheddar? Parmesan?) bread. The filet and potato souffle were perfect and the portion sizes were just right. My husband had the grouper and enjoyed it very much as well. We finished with the turtle cheesecake and the creme brulee and I didn't think we're could have had a better meal. Thank you for a perfect evening.

There wasn’t a host up front which is understandable for being a late (9pm) dinner reservation. I saw a few employees walk-by but was never asked if I needed anything. We sat outside with an elegant view of the hotel and the starry night. Our server made the dining experience remarkable. He was attentive, thoughtful and generous to make modifications on my dish. Amazing job to the chef / kitchen staff. From the first bite to last had the same texture and flavor. It is one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The bar area had a good crowd with gentleman singing and playing the guitar. Overall, it was perfect evening.
