   We went here for my dad’s birthday on Sunday. Service was super slow, starting with the fact that it took about 20 minutes just to be greeted by server. While everyone enjoyed drinks and apps (and I enjoyed my meal) no one else liked their main dishes. Due to the long time everything took we didn’t order dessert.

   Everything was AMAZING!! If you like tequila, the pineapple infused Patron is EXCELLENT. It pairs well with the seafood risotto. Enjoy!

   We had visitors from NY. They loved it. We had a small problem and the waiter was quick to remedy the problem. It was just wonderful. I highly recommend this place.

   We happened to get a table that did not have an umbrella and not near one of the fans. The heat/sun was brutal.

   Spot-on service with a menu that is both creative, colorful and very good, if not outstanding. Seafood is the specialty but there are beef, pork and chicken choices. We had the Pompano, Mahi Mahi and Grouper dishes, which were wonderfully prepared. The okra fries and barbaquoa shrimp were starters. It was crowded on the Sunday afternoon we dined, but I had reserved our table in advance. By 3pm, the hostess said the wait was an hour and 15 min.

    The decor, ambiance, and location are great. The charbroiled oysters were the highlight. The seafood risotto was just ok. The crackling pork shank was very dry and not what we were expecting. For what you pay, a better side vegetable option than undercooked green beans would be nice. Have had better food eperiences here in the past.

    Restaurant was great and the service was even better. Our server Lennon was exceptional and deserves to be highlighted. Note: The Ulele parking lot is used by a lot of people at the park so I was not able to park there. We saw lots of family’s coming from the park to their cars. That was our only complaint on this visit.

    Went for an anniversary dinner. The appetizers and desserts were exceptional in the taste and presentation, however the entrees were extremely lacking in both. My SO got the short rib, which ended up being very dry, tough, and a tad on the salty end. I ordered the ribeye which had a great taste but it was very poorly presented, as it was just draped over the mashed potatoes and everytime I went to cut into it, the potatoes would just ooze from the sides and make a mess. Both entrees came on cold plates which instantly took the heat from the meals. The green beans were a bit underdone and the mashed potatoes were not pushed through a sieve or processor of any kind since there were clumps as well as being a little bit runny. I have gone to Ulele before and received better food so I'm guessing the cooks were just not into it last night, which sucks because it has really stained my view on the location. If I go back there, i will definitely not order those plates again.

    UleleResponded 5 days agoWe are sorry to hear that your experience was disappointing, especially because you were celebrating your anniversary and you already had high expectations from previous visits. Were you able to let your server or a manager know about your displeasures? We would have been glad to make any adjustments necessary including replacing a dish with something different. We hope that you will return again in the future so that we may have another opportunity to impress you.

    Was not what I was expecting. The food wasn’t anything special. The sports memorabilia was a surprising twist to the hype the restaurant had. Reading the dress suggestions, I was expecting a nice, fine dining place. The overall feeling I got was is the restaurant is having an identity crisis and doesn’t know which way to go.

    UleleResponded 5 days agoWe appreciate your feedback and apologize that we did not meet your expectations. We are sorry that you did not enjoy our sports memorabilia. Our concept is to first honor the Tocobaga Native American Tribe (Princess Ulele) and second, the culture and history of Tampa itself, including our sports teams. We hope that you will decide to return again in the future and perhaps enjoy a patio table if the indoor atmosphere is not appealing to you.
