We had a wonderful experience at Ulele! Our waitress, Erica, was excellent—attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and so personable that she made us feel like we’d known her for years. Her recommendations were spot-on, and both the food and drinks were delicious. The atmosphere felt upscale yet modern, making the whole evening feel special. Erica’s warm hospitality truly made our visit memorable. We would absolutely return!

Don Julio’s -Tampa Palms food and service was outstanding. Ask for Bianca because she will take fantastic care of you and treat you right just like a guest at her own home. Not only did she greet us with a smile but she suggested the grouper tacos with the special hot sauce and that suggestion was amazing. We loved and would want that entree again since the entree was so delicious yet she suggested another entree that we could try next time for variety.. Bianca also kept the chips and drinks coming like she read our minds. Thank you Don Julio’s and Bianca for such an incredible experience because we will be back soon.

To me and my Sicilian wife, Forbici is the best Italian in the Tampa Bay area. The staff is always personable, very helpful, and professional...never rude like so many restaurants these days. And the food never disappoints. Good quality, great taste, and fair prices...affordable when so many are not. And now they've added a spot in St. Pete which is closer to us in St. Pete Beach. But I do love the Tampa location and it is worth the drive to wander through Hyde Park's elegant shopping area and enjoy the restaurant as well. Altogether a gem of Italian dining now in TWO locations.

This was our first time at the new Howard & Platt. First off, the service was absolutely wonderful. My friend and I had our two kid with us and the staff was so kind and sweet to them, making sure they were just as happy as we were. The food was amazing- we had the hamachi crudo, chicken skewers, poke bowl, scallops and salmon, all of which were excellent! We also had an unexpected 5th person join our group and the staff was very accommodating and had no issues with us adding an extra to our table. Would absolutely go back and recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and great service!

I’ve been here multiple times, and I love your service. It always makes me feel welcome. I’ve been to birthday dinners here, and every time RO allows us to take pictures However, this last time, I felt like my teacher was cold, and he came out really quickly. It was very cold.
