Barefoot ease meets upscale eats at Caretta Caretta inside The Singer Oceanfront Resort. Fresh off a renovation, The Singer (part of the Curio Collection by Hilton) debuted its signature restaurant—the only beachfront eatery on Singer Island—in late August.

The indoor-outdoor space exudes an elegant oceanic vibe, complete with rattan furniture and light fixtures, driftwood accents, and a commingling of blues, warm woods, and natural textiles reminiscent of a high-end beach house. Chef Glenn Rogers has crafted a menu of small plates, shareables, and entrées that embrace a locavore ethos, with an emphasis on local seafood and seasonal ingredients.

Highlights include perfectly fried crab fritters dressed with pickled peppers and a chipotle aioli; “Our” Shrimp and Grits, served with Parmesan polenta, sautéed spinach, blistered cherry tomatoes, and a delightful Florida citrus butter; and the seafood board, a just-caught take on a charcuterie board with smoked mahi-mahi dip, charred octopus, shrimp cocktail, crusted ahi tuna, and an array of fixings.
