    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 kids and grandkids were visiting from CT for Thanksgiving and we thought they would enjoy sitting outside on the water for Thanksgiving dinner (and I didn’t have to cook!). It was a beautiful day. The atmosphere is perfect. Our server, Lynn, greeted us and we learned that she is from our hometown. She was delightful to interact with and was a large part of why the experience was so enjoyable. She made suggestions for draft beers and for dinners for those that didn’t want the traditional holiday meal. The kids had the wasabi tuna and the ribeye and they raved about both of them. The rest of us loved the traditional meal. We agreed that the turkey was the best we ever had and the sides were plentiful and delicious. We have decided that this will be our new Thanksgiving tradition. We couldn’t have been any happier with the experience.

    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.
