We had a wonderful lunch at Ulele in Tampa! Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, including stone crabs, chargrilled oysters, wedge salad, calamari, okra fries, and a lobster roll. Each dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The waterfront setting and inviting atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. A fantastic spot for a leisurely lunch and definitely worth a visit. We look forward to returning!

We celebrated our two year anniversary here, and our server, Stacy, the manager, and the entire team were exceptional in their customer service. They paid meticulous attention to details and made us feel like royalty. The food was incredible, and the chef’s menu was impressive.

This is a great place for locals to hang out. They not only have great food but the service is phenomenal. It can be a little pricey - we spent $140.00 for two people without alcohol. I think it is worth it.

This place is awesome! They have a great selection of gins (and other spirits and wines) thoroughly explained by a smart, insightful, and personable wait staff (Shout out to Sanuj for the guidance and recommendations!). The food is excellent as well - quite possible the best Swordfish Chop I’ve ever experienced!

What a great date night venue. Elegant setting, smooth jazz music in the background, great food, and amazing service. We recommend the grilled salmon on a bed of risotto with the pineapple salsa. Enjoy!
