Xena was a terrific server and made our meal more enjoyable. Food is excellent, pricey but very tasty and generous portions. Free parking, but a good walk to the restaurant.

So it's my mother's 77th birthday. And I knew I had to do something special. So after researching and reviewing restaurants 2 weeks prior I came to the conclusion I had to come. Reason is the outdoor statues that were from Lowery park zoo, my mother took me there for the first time 50 years ago and I knew it would be a full circle moment. I made a reservation we showed up on time. We were seated promptly. We had a lot of questions that the server was more than helpful with us. We ordered appetizers, we ordered entrees and we order desserts, (which we never do) everything was wonderful.. And because it was her birthday, they gave her a birthday card signed by the entire staff and 4 housemaid truffles. I thank you very much to the staff and be assured we will be back!

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!

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.

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.

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.

"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.

Now, let's talk about the food. It was nothing short of amazing! Every dish that came out of the kitchen was a masterpiece, packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The menu offered a fantastic range of options, from classic comfort food to more daring and exotic dishes that pushed the boundaries of my palate. it was an explosion of flavors that left me craving for more!

The service was also top-notch. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. I appreciated the attention to detail, like the frequent refills of drinks and water.

Overall, I can't recommend Ulele enough for those who are looking for a little heat in their dining experience. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner for two or a fun night out with friends, this restaurant is the perfect choice. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu, and see what new spicy surprises they have in store!".

Thanks guys for making it a memorable experience.
