Crystal Davis
Large restaurant with great food and drinks. There’s a view of the boardwalk which is close by the restaurant and both indoor and outdoor seating. They have good food options for vegans and vegetarians which is always a plus. I ordered the Native Sauté with rice and vegetables which was delicious. Even gave my mom a box of chocolate truffles on the house for her birthday.

This was my first time here, and I made online reservations for a birthday for two. We checked in and the host was a doll and so polite. She then sat us outside which was the most beautiful scenic place I think I’ve ever been to. Raven was our waitress, and she was amazing. The food was wonderful. You know how nice it is to have great food and a great scenery in the same place. Eating outside is most definitely the way to go when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. We had three people separately come and tell my father Happy Birthday and actually had a conversation with him. I found out one was the owner. That made me smile really big. We will definitely be going back often.

This is my favorite restaurant in the Tampa area! I travel all the way from Houston, and always have to stop here to eat! From the appetizers, to the desserts, everything is 10 out of 10! Food is served elegantly and cooked perfectly. This really is great food, every time! Our waitress was also nice and attentive. Seafood risotto was amazing! The pineapple bread pudding was also so divine, Def. recommended!

Great place! Food delicious. Atmosphere pleasant alongside the decor and artwork. We actually stumbled upon this hidden jewel after deciding not to sit outside at a neighboring restaurant that was severely understaffed. Ulele exceeded our expectations. The wait time for sitting was short, and the restrooms were clean. They even have 2 bigger separate bathrooms and a hand washing station outside the normal restrooms as an option. A must try.

Ulele is an incredible dining establishment that offers fantastic food, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. The menu is diverse and delicious, with each dish prepared with care. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, making your visit enjoyable from start to finish. The restaurant’s inviting ambiance adds to the overall experience. I highly recommend Ulele for a wonderful dining experience.

I was in Tampa for a conference. I got a lot of recommendations for this restaurant. If you go, take advantage of the complimentary valet. The entrance is inconspicuous but the clue is the valet podium. It was very busy due to the conference but they were still able to offer excellent service. The GM came by a couple of times. Our servers were on point. I tried the oysters, calamari and seafood risotto. The oysters were good for gulf oysters. The calamari was fresh but a little salty for my taste. The seafood risotto was good. Overall it was an enjoyable dining experience. It is definitely worth checking out. I will stop back by next time I come to town.

“I had the pleasure of dining at Ulele, and let me tell you, it was a culinary journey that set my taste buds on fire! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made it feel exotic . The decor was tasteful and stylish, and the lighting created the perfect ambiance for a memorable meal.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday dinner here with our children and his family. We dined on the patio and it was the perfect environment; they had large fans to help with the heat, were very friendly towards children. We ordered the children’s mac & cheese, seafood risotto, grouper, salad, charbroiled oysters, jalapeño corn muffins. Everything tasted amazing and I would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic experience at Ulele. From the complimentary valet service to the food, server, and views, it was great all around. I had the Loaded Native Chile and managed to talk my wife into trying it. We both loved it. The Calamari was good, and the sauce that comes with it was spectacular (can I have that recipe?). My wife had the short rib for her entrée, and I had the Gouda Grouper. I would definitely go back for the food. Even better, the wait was very brief with an online reservation, and there were plenty of sights to see in the park next door and a beautiful view of the river from the patio area behind the restaurant. Definitely one of our better eating experiences while vacationing.

The entire place is so unique, with old artwork and nursery rhyme character statues from the 1950s & 60s. And the menu has a lot of options I’ve never seen anywhere else… including vegan options.
