This is the best brunch on the beach by a mile. Every time we are in Clearwater beach we head here for the brunch and l would say that this time it was even better than before. Great selection of food, very welcoming staff and excellent value. We have tried other brunches in the area but they were not a patch on the Caretta

Wonderful experience from start to finish. The service, food, atmosphere... all first class. Even the valet parking was professional and friendly and they validate the parking if you eat at the restaurant. They brought us a huge and delicious piece of cake for my wife's birthday. It was our first time dining here, but it won't be our last! Very special treat.

I was expecting better. Our waiter said "I don't want to rush you, but we have a party of 30 coming in soon". Unbelievable! He would be a good used car salesman. Plus, meal wasn't worth the price. We had dinner at Sea-Guini the next night (sister restaurant and resort at Opal Sands) and out service and meal was excellent!

Took my mother there to celebrate her 75th birthday. The atmosphere is wonderful - excellent views, comfortable seating, not too noisy, wonderful service. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was very attentive. Definitely a memorable experience.
