We had a table of six and the service could not have been better! Nathan was our main server but there was a team and they were excellent. All of the food was fantastic until the entrees came. Those of us who ordered fish were very happy but half the table ordered steak and it was tough. The steak was cooked properly ( med rare in some cases), but was barely able to be cut with a steak knife. We were disappointed in the main meal but everything else was top notch. Stick with the fish, it was fantastic!

We had a wonderful evening at Caretta's and would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone celebrating a special occasion. The ambiance, service, food and wine was perfect. The lobster bisque was very flavourful and not too thick, and although the Dover Sole was delicious, it was not quite as good as what we've had in other restaurants of the same calibre. The wine list was quite extensive, and provided a broad range of prices.
