It has been a good while since I ate here, but my friend and I had dinner together here and just found the food to be boring, bar service was slooooow. The vibe was good, but I'd recommend just taking the elevator and going up to orions.

Ate the Easter breakfast buffet and it was delicious! Our server was Melynda and she was very friendly and helpful. Thank you Melynda!Loved the ambience of the sun coming through the big restaurant windows in the morning (bring sun glasses). The beach view was great too. We stayed at the hotel so came down at 7am when they opened. We will be back again!

Made reservations for a Friday lunch but didn't really need them. Restaurant on main floor of the Marriott and has a nice upscale atmosphere. The food was amazing. There are a lot of healthy options. We had the honey brussel sprouts starter and the Mediterranean nachos as well as the pesto shrimp and mozzarella pizza. The service was pretty slow and took a long time to get our initial drinks or to even order our food.
Mynda or Melinda or whatever is awesome!! Great service. Good food too

The location was cute but the service was not good and neither was the food. It tasted very bland and had no flavor.

Our server, Melynda, was fabulous and took wonderful care of us. The four of us had bowls (tuna, salmon, and chicken). They were pretty good. I had written that it was a birthday celebration and great restaurants remember this and do something a little special but Tulu missed it. Not the end of the world, of course, but there were only 3 tables being served in the whole restaurant. The price for parking is absolutely ridiculous and Tulu should comp parking. $9/person is extremely excessive.

I called to make a reservation for 10 people. I wasn't going to mention it was my birthday, however the lady on the phone asked if we celebrated anything special. Thank you for that, sometimes we just need a small gesture, to feel that others care. And I received an excellent complimentary cake! The waiter Cara and the manager Mitch were very attentive and personable! We had a great time and thank you!

Food was amazing - had to be convinced to try the Tulu Lean Burger, but so glad we did!! Charred Cauliflower appetizer and Mediterranean Chop salad were also fantastic. The atmosphere was a little on the noisy side, but not so much that we wouldn't go back. Truly unique menu with great variety! Glad we found this spot to add to our local favorite list !!
Excellent service at the bar. Great drinks, good food. We left Orion because the service was so bad we finished our meal here. Attentive staff was refreshing.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing top-notch service from ANYA, MAKAYLA, and ELLIE at Tulu Seaside Bar& Grill within the Marriott, and I couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, they all demonstrated exceptional bartending skills that elevated my entire evening and made me feel right at home.First and foremost, they exuded a welcoming and friendly demeanor that immediately put me at ease. It's clear they take pride in creating a positive and enjoyable atmosphere for their visitors. They were attentive, approachable, and made sure to engage with all customers in a way that made everyone feel valued.What truly sets them all apart is the extensive knowledge of the area and the food and drink The attention to detail in crafting each drink was remarkable, showcasing dedication to the art of bartending.Moreover, they all demonstrated efficiency and professionalism throughout the entire service. Despite a busy night on a Saturday, they managed to handle orders swiftly and accurately, ensuring that everyone received their drinks promptly. The level of skill and precision in work is truly commendable.The friendly demeanor, expert mixology skills, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them an invaluable asset to Tulu. I highly recommend asking for their service for an unforgettable and delightful evening. Cheers to stupendous talent and dedication!

My wife and I came here for restaurant week and had an amazing dining experience. Our server, Cathy, was especially helpful with the menu by providing insight and suggestions. The food was so flavorful. Hopefully they keep the lamb meatballs for longer than restaurant week. Every dish we had was phenomenal. Definitely recommend them.
