We loved Ulele! What a special place for my birthday dinner. The food was sooo good. The service was excellent! The atmosphere was fun and a wonderful view of the river and sunset. We loved it! Thank you for the birthday chocolates too!

Food was awesome. I ordered tomahawk chop and it was plentiful and delicious. Wife has trout and she loved it. We had a bowl of Gustavo's homemade ice cream for dessert. It was right on time. Our server was awesome! She made recommendations and followed up. We will definitely come back.

Everyone was good, normal nothing crazy and our waitress was lovely. The place is adorable and great indoor / outdoor space! I had the grouper it was good but a bit overcooked. My son had the pompano and that sauce was amazing better than the grouper. The wild rice had some hard grains but good flavor. The pompano came w shaved carrot that was fried, very very good! We also had the oysters and the char on them to me was very good, wonderful flavor.
