Craig Tooker has been appointed Executive Chef at Amrit Ocean Resort & Residences
The sound of waves just steps away. The scent of spices from an open kit chen. Food so flavorful, you forget it's good for you. This fall, Amrit Ocean Resort on Singer Island debuts five distinct oceanfront dining concepts under the leadership of its new executive chef, Craig Tooker, including the first expansion of Washington D.C's acclaimed Michelin Bib Gourmand Honoree, Karma Modern Indian.
A Johnson & Wales graduate with more than 20 years in world-renowned kitchens from Manhattan's iconic Carlyle and Roosevelt Hotels to luxury brands like Ritz-Carlton and Kimpton, Chef Craig brings fine dining mastery and a passion for South Florida's coastal bounty. His approach balances indulgence with intention, where bold global flavors meet mindful sourcing.
Amrit sets a new standard for private beach dining with the destination's largest stretch of exclusive shoreline. Spanning 300 feet and 3.5 acres, the private beach offers an unrivaled backdrop for everything from intimate, toes-in-the-sand dinners for two to bespoke , thoughtfully curated gatherings and signature seaside weddings. Designed to inspire connection and celebration, each experience unfolds beneath the stars in an atmosphere where culinary artistry meets oceanfront serenity.
Supporting this vision is Dr. Uma Naidoo — Harvard-trained nutritional psychiatrist and bestselling author of This Is Your Brain on Food — who advises Amrit's culinary team on ingredient interactions and the ways food can be harnessed as a powerful tool for both physical and mental wellness.
