   Whenever I’m in Tampa, I always try to meet friends here! It’s just beautiful outside when the weather’s nice this time of year. The oysters are yummy!! Just sorry there was no grouper for our lunch.

   Always loved this place - great vibes and food. Except one thing bothered me all night. I was particularly upset that although I made 6-person reservation and called twice to ask to add one more person to the reservation - I was told that it wasn’t possible. The first time I called, the woman was not friendly. She didn’t offer to find another time, a solution, or anything. She made me feel like my small ask was an absurd question. I called back later, maybe I’d have luck with someone else - a different woman answered and at least she was nice and apologized. So I ended up not being able to bring my grandpa to my dad’s birthday dinner because they insisted that a 7th person could not be accommodated. I show up to the restaurant and low and behold - a 7th chair was there, so I don’t understand why two people told me it could not be done and basically insulted me by having an extra chair that could perfectly fit at the table. Again, loved our server and food but could not get over that experience.

   Dinner before a show at Straz. We ate outside. The atmosphere, service and food were outstanding. We were able to walk from/to Straz Center on the River Walk. Overall a great night out.

    I must say this is one of my favorite restaurants but I must make note as to why they believe they can charge $20 for 1/2 dozen roasted oysters, which makes it $40 if you want a full dozen? I cannot fathom why they would charge their customers that much for a dozen oysters that used to be a lot less than that in the past. I could see $20 for a dozen as they were in the past, but $40? That is crazy, shame, shame!!

    Wanted to try something new for our 8 year anniversary. Cristian, our server was incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful. We started with 2 appetizers, the Barbacoa Shrimp and Native Chili, and a bottle of Hess Sauvignon Blanc. All paired very well and was delicious. Entrées were the Seafood Risotto and Mr. Henry with the Ulele side salad. Once again, paired well with the Hess and was delicious. We finished with splitting the Pineapple Upside-Down Bread Pudding. By then we were stuffed. But it was so good we had to try and finish it. The staff then surprisingly gifted us with a signed card congratulating us on our anniversary and a small box of chocolates to take home. All in all. It was a great experience and would recommend Ulele to everyone seeking a great diner, atmosphere, and staff.

    This was our first visit to Ulele, but won’t be our last. The food and service were great and it is very close to a 5-star rating - but not quite. Mainly because it was a little noisy, our table was a little scrunched up to the edge of the wall and the chairs were not comfortable. Our server provided just the right amount of attentiveness and was very knowledgeable about the menu. My husband enjoyed the Gouda grouper and I loved my native sauté. We ended the evening sharing the key lime stack and left very satisfied.

    We had heard and read good things so we’re a bit disappointed. Nothing special. Wife and I both had local fish dishes and both were kind of bland and needed some heat to make them interesting. Sides were meh. All in all felt more like a chain restaurant and I didn’t see any real Native American dishes on the menu as I expected to. Service was good and outdoor ambiance by water nice.

    We have been wanting to try Ulele when visiting family in Tampa.. but last night was first time we could get a reservation that worked for our schedule. Ulele has a very cool outdoor vibe & we were lucky it was a perfect temperature and the sun was going down while we were dining. Food was prepared well and tasted delicious. Recommend Ulele for a lovely atmosphere and tasty dishes.

    UleleResponded 1 day agoThank you for recommending us, Jaime. We are glad that you were all able to make it in and that you enjoyed your visit. We hope to see you again the next time you are visiting.

    Amazing restaurant! We had Mahi mahi and comes with yummy slaw, roasted corn, and spinach! We ate everything on our plates. We shared the key lime pie which was delish. We had Patrick as our waiter he was attentive and made the experience lovely. The manager was very nice he came up To ask how everything was going. We enjoyed the view On the water and the building is very cool feel. A+ experience today for lunch. I rarely write reviews but felt this restaurant deserved it!

    The wait times were insane despite not being crowded and once seated the food was awful. I heard such great things - but the fried okra was burned and so were the gator hush puppies- the pork chop was raw and had to be returned- the short rib was dry and flavorless
