We went here for my wife's birthday dinner. We ordered charbroiled oysters, water works meatloaf and seafood risotto. Finally we had the pineapple upside down bread pudding. And as a birthday gift to my wife they gave her a box of truffles. All the food & dessert was amazing. The atmosphere was excellent. It was a little chilly outside but they didn't have control over that. Our server was friendly. Thank you for a great experience!
My husband and I always try different restaurants. Our first time here, the environment is very good, clean and tidy, our waiter Michael is very patient and takes good care of us, the food is really average, the Gator tail is delicious, it suits our taste, it's our first time, the taste is a bit like fried squid, the Charbroiled Oysters we ordered half size, it's very strange, two are very salty, but the other 4 are normal. The Seafood Risotto is very disappointed with the scallops. We promptly gave feedback to our waiter, he was very active in helping us communicate with the chef to solve the problem, and finally sent us a dessert, the dessert is delicious, not too greasy, I like the pineapple in it, it is a good match with the coconut ice cream, finally hope they can be better, although they are already very busy.....
I’ve never been to a Native-inspired restaurant but I was extremely pleased with our visit. We were a little late for our reservation but we’re still able to be seated. Mainly freestanding tables with a few larger booths. I usually prefer booths but the table was okay! We ordered the wedge salad, soft shell crab appetizer and the corn beer muffins, which were fresh and out of the kitchen quickly. The charbroiled oysters and seafood risotto were worth trying but didn’t blow us away. My green beans were fresh, I could tell but needed a little more seasoning . The bourbon cake was warm with perfect homemade ice cream. I really appreciated the kitchen staff (namely the food runners), which ensured our food reached our table quickly. Everything was so fresh and perfect temperature. Complementary valet was also available for our dinner service. Overall, worth a try.
This establishment is fabulous! My husband and I and our two friends loved everything about Ulele. My husbands Bloody Mary was delicious and his hamburger was pink and juicy and loaded with flavor. I had the portobello mushroom with everything on it and it was outstanding. Our server, Valeria, was just the best! I asked her for oyster shells that they were going to throw away anyway and she got me two bags of them! Happy! Thank you Valeria! She was very kind, attentive and did anything in her power to make our lunch a wonderful experience. After lunch, we ordered a beer from the outside bar and sat relaxing in the Adirondack chairs on the turf in front of the building. We love it here!
