Finally had the chance as I had tix to a show close by. Went into the bar, decorated nicely for Xmas. Even had fireplace and winter scenes on the TVs. From there, just went downhill. Bartender appeared drunk or under the influence of some narcotic. She was moving slowly and very deliberately, like when you know you're compromised and trying to play it off. We had to show her where the scotch was. She short poured our drinks and wandered off. Next was the food mishap. We ordered the Holiday Gnocchi (6 gnocchi ) and two smash burgers. The gnocchi arrived and it was the best part of dinner. Had a few pieces of pork belly on them and it was actually good. Then after about 25 more minutes, we got the burgers. The $21 each burgers were overcooked and cold at the same time. The "pickles" were slices of cucumber with no pickle taste. The "special sauce" was mayo. The cheese was cold and not even melted onto the burger, just peeled off like it was an afterthought. The burger tasted like it was dropped in a salt bin prior to cooking. Fries were unimpressive as well, also cold. Drinks were expensive, very poor selection of wine and beer. Just sooooo disappointing overall. Won't be going back.

I've had many Cubans throughout the Tampa Bay area, and I can honestly say this was the best I've ever had. The quality was exceptional -- the meats were incredibly fresh, and the balance of juicy pickles and tangy mustard elevated every bite. Beyond the food, the atmosphere impressed me as well. It's a cool, spacious venue with a long bar and a welcoming staff that made the experience even better. I would absolutely recommend it and plan to return. I'm still impressed by how outstanding that sandwich was.

This was our third stop of the evening and a genuinely pleasant one, helped along by Andrea, who was friendly, upbeat and made the visit feel even more relaxed. We ordered beers and their roasted hummus, which came with thin‑sliced cucumbers and carrots. When one of my friends mentioned that he's allergic to carrots (yes, really), Andrea didn't hesitate. She brought out a basket of tortilla chips so he could enjoy the hummus without worry, and the rest of us made sure the carrots stayed far from the shared plate. It was a small gesture, but it added a nice touch of hospitality. The whole place has an easygoing vibe, the kind that makes you want to linger a little longer, and its spot right on the main drag of Ybor makes it an ideal pause point on a walking tour. It's a dependable, welcoming stop that's well worth including. [Review 41 of 2026 - 2226 in Florida - 25232 overall]

I reached out while planning a proposal to my now fiancée at the nearby park, hoping to arrange a small photo shoot area with champagne before dinner. After one quick email, the General Manager personally called me and spent time talking through ideas and helping make the evening special. Even with that conversation, I was completely unprepared for just how extraordinary they made everything. When we arrived, we followed a trail of rose petals to a beautifully decorated private table waiting for us with flowers, a handwritten card, champagne, and glasses already set. It honestly felt like something out of a movie. The attention to detail and genuine care from the entire team was unbelievable. The manager working that evening and our server were both absolutely wonderful -- warm, attentive, and sincerely excited for us. And on top of all of that, the food was phenomenal as always. I'm still in awe of how special Ulele made the night feel. I truly cannot imagine a better place to have proposed. This restaurant will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we'll definitely be back for many anniversaries and celebrations to come. Highly, highly recommend.

Not only the drinks are phenomenal, but the food is absolutely amazing. The hubs really likes the brussels sprouts here. I think they are too wet. I wouldn't order them myself. I normally like them crispy on the outside and moist in the middle and not wet. It was a weird sauce almost like Cajun, which is unusual for brussels sprouts. I still think Yeoman's has the best Brussels sprouts in the area. The onion rings here are the absolute best. The breading is flat and smooth, and the onions are thick. Places that make the crispy bumpy batter usually scratch my throat being so crispy however, the onion rings here are flat and smooth, and that doesn't happen. I like to order it with a side of beer cheese dipping sauce; it is absolutely incredible. I definitely recommend ordering a side of beer cheese dipping sauce. The drinks here are so strong. I was only able to get one since it was so strong. They are just too strong for me but very delicious. The hubs likes all of the drinks here he's tried them all. I ordered the espresso reposado martini, and I explained it to the server that I didn't want it sweet and he had a smarta$$ remark. I never saw him again after that drink hopefully, I never get that server again. He was ridiculous. The remainder of the service is absolutely incredible. Everyone is super sweet that we ordered food & rest of our drinks from. They must really enjoy their job. They're just a lovely bunch there. Know the menu extensively well and can recommend anything that you're craving for. Except for the first guy that we ordered our drinks from I would avoid that person. He was weird.

Even the pickiest beer drinker can find something here. All the food here is solid. This time I decided to get a custom made pizza. Despite being pre-game busy, my server was happy to oblige. Ordered a sausage, mushroom, and onion pizza. It was very good. Not just, "good for any restaurant", but "good as a high end pizzeria" good. Be prepared if you come during a pre-game. Lots of activity, lots of people, longer wait times. So come early, or after the game and enjoy pizza and your favorite beer! On a side note, I've heard a rumor that a Yard House is coming to Wesley Chapel in the future. Can't wait.

We sampled the local Reef Donkey brew, which definitely lived up to the hype--smooth, flavorful, and well balanced. A great choice if you're new to their beer lineup. We started with the hot pretzel served with queso and mustard. It came out warm, soft, and perfectly salted--ideal for sharing and easily one of the highlights of the visit. The pizza was generously topped and very cheesy, which we appreciated, though the quality of the sausage could use some improvement to better match the rest of the ingredients. We also tried the hot chicken tenders with hot honey drizzle. Flavor-wise, they were decent, but the portion size felt closer to boneless wings than tenders. The fries were hot and crispy, but overall the chicken itself could benefit from a crispier exterior. Worth noting for future guests: the Red Eye cider buffalo sauce comes with a $1 upcharge. Overall, this is a fun spot with a strong beer program and solid starters. Hoping to return in about six months to see improvements and refinements to the food offerings, as the potential here is definitely there.

If you are a beer drinker, this definitely is the spot for you as they have a plethora of craft beers both on draught and in bottles. We don't drink but did enjoy a craft root beer from Abita that was quite good! Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was very pleasant and swift. I had the fish tacos which were really nice and were served with tortilla chips and a side of salsa. Pretty good lunch fare but if I ordered this for dinner, a third taco would have done the trick. The bathroom was another story. It was fifty and the odor was rough and the toilet was actually missing the top of it. It was the kind of spot that would make the heartiest of sailors blush. Would definitely check out this spot again for a good, quick bite.

I would absolutely order both of them again. The whole thing was served over a bed of brown rice and came with a side of spicy aioli. I see now that they have a handful of locations around Florida and one in Charlotte, NC.
