    The service and food for Thanksgiving were phenomenal. This was the best Thanksgiving dinner we've had at restaurants in many years. The turkey was moist and delicious, the traditional and not so traditional sides were excellent, and the appetizers were top drawer. The venue is excellent (we sat outside under an umbrella) with clever battery-powered "beenie hat" revolving wings to keep the pesky bees away, and they worked, surprisingly well! All in all, we can not wait to return for another meal. The interior space is excellent, and the adjoining bar has a separate ambiance we can not wait to try.

    Our first visit to Ulele. We were celebrating our anniversary. Service was attentive and helpful. We LOVED the chili and the jalepeno corn muffins!! I had a wonderful entree of Grouper and my husband ordered meatloaf. His meatloaf was barely warm and was the one downside to the meal. Overall, a good experience and a lovely location in Tampa.

    Had a reservation for early dinner (quieter then). We were warmly greeted & seated promptly in a booth as requested. Coconut shrimp & fries were excellent, sautéed shrimp with feta, black olives & peppers over fried green tomatoes was fantastic! Wines were great. Food & drink are always excellent here. Waiter was very sweet but service uneven; he brought water & bread/oil promptly but took a long time to return to take our drink & dinner orders. Brought soup before wine. Didn’t ask if we wanted dessert before bringing check. We ordered desserts to go. Perhaps he was just inexperienced. It was still a very pleasant experience; we will be back. Thank you to all staff!
