Great spot to enjoy the weather. And community park. Love the story behind the restaurant. The decoration inside was well done. Service was great. Our server knew the menu well and gave us tips of what to order. I ordered the crab cakes and they were so fresh and tasty. I enjoyed every bite. The okra fries was also delicious very interesting way of making okra. Parking was a little hard to find but once you find it the signs are all over the lot. If you're in town definitely check this spot out.
Ulele is a popular native-inspired restaurant and brewery on Tampa's Riverwalk, known for its Florida-sourced ingredients cooked on a large barbacoa grill, waterfront views, and on-site brewery. Owned by the same family as the Columbia Restaurant, it offers a unique menu with dishes like meatloaf and short ribs, and provides options for outdoor seating, valet parking, and is accessible via water taxi. This place is just amazing from decor to service and ambiance , you'll stay all day lol !
Parking is limited even though they do have a dedicated parking lot for the establishment. Right on armature works property so walkable area and crowded. The actual experience is so-so. Very expensive for not very attentive. Knowing your clientele is very important. We were seated upstairs and 10 mins into our meal they dimmed the lights very low, kind of killing the warm ambience. People complained on the floor and pulled out flash lights to look at the menu and still no change. Ordered two drinks to start with oysters and Mac and cheese to start. Oysters seemed okay and the Mac and cheese for $8 was an absolute gem and steal. Definitely worth getting. The drinks were also phenomenal. Then comes our meals- I ordered seafood risotto and he got short rib. Seafood risotto- didn't seem like a lot, just tastes like sweet rice with a medley of seafood. Green beans are way over seasoned and salty to my taste and my stomach was upset after 6/10 The short rib- delicious no complaints, he enjoyed the green beans. A little spicy with tons of salt. Short rib was soft and tender but no change of knife so expect a butter knife to cut. Not nearly enough mashed potatoes to meat portion but the better of our meals. 8/10 For $200 dollars we've had better service and food so I feel like you're really paying for the location.
We came to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday on a Saturday night and overall had a really great time. I made reservations about 2 weeks in advance which I highly recommended since this place seems pretty popular! There is a park next door so we arrived a bit early to walk around. Luckily, there is complementary valet parking so parking was a breeze. We were seating right away and got straight to eating and drinking. For appetizers, we shared the tuna salad (super fresh) and the gator bites (very unique). We also split the seafood risotto which I loved because we got a little taste of everything - scallops, shrimp, lobster. We also split the pineapple upside down cake which was delicious and some complementary birthday truffles. Our waitress was attentive and provided great recommendations. The ambiance was not quite what I expected. It was a bit more casual than I wanted for a birthday dinner with lots of large groups and casual wear but it was still a great night out. The view of the sunset was great!
It has been a while since I have been to Ulele and here are just a few observations. So that iconic water they used to serve tastes like tap water now. Nothing really special about it. Just hard warm water in a cool vessel. The waiter said it was triple filtered, but it may have been the residue from the dish washer coming through on the glass. They did bring us the good water and it was good and also cold. They don't do flights anymore, but they do do samples of no more than 3 so between the 2 of us we got to try 5 of their beers. I was most impressed by the Green Cannon Ball Tampa IPA 7.5% ABV. Honorable mention for the Dam Buster Weizenbach 5% ABV. But honestly, all the beer I sampled was good and I am a beer guy. The service is great here, but on a weekend like Sunday when they are slammed they still do a good job of keeping it all together. Our server was Matt and he was both responsiveand accommodating. It was definitely 4 or 5 star service l, even with the wait for the food. We started with the soft shell crab app. For like $20 we literally got one crab which was disappointing. Still it was quite good and for an app it was almost worth it. We got the braised short ribs and a burger and did take a while for it to get to the table. Good thing we had drinks and that app or the wait would have been awkward. The braised short ribs was great and they burger was also quite good. Want sure about the pineapple on the burger, but it didn't disappoint. The green beans that came with the short ribs were super al dante equals hardly cooked. Still the food was great. I really wanted to give 5 stars, but honestly, Ulele is a consistent 4.
Ulele never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, the vibe feels intentional -- warm, inviting, and perfectly Tampa. The food is consistently fresh and thoughtfully prepared, with flavors that feel elevated without being overcomplicated. You can tell care goes into every plate. Service is attentive but never intrusive, and the setting along the river makes the whole experience feel like a mini escape, whether you're there for a casual meal or a special night out. It's one of those places you confidently bring out-of-towners to -- and still love returning to yourself. A solid go-to when you want great food, great atmosphere, and an experience that just feels right. Ulele never disappoints.

This pet friendly restaurant is located a short walk away from Armature Works (thanks Jeff) which is off the Hillsborough river. The atmosphere is inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Sadly, there is only one entre option for vegans and no dessert options; the pet menu has more options. My family of carnivores enjoyed their meals. The presentation of each meal was nice. Unfortunately, most of our meals were lukewarm or cold, when they arrived to the table. We didn't complain, we had a large party. The prices for food and alcoholic beverages are standard for the area. Our server was great. Overall, members of my family will definitely go back. As a vegan, I wouldn't rush back for the meal; however, I will sit by the water and sip their spicy margarita.
This place has great food, the indoors and outdoor seating both great, outside you can people watch and has an outside bar. Inside had some stained glass and statues. We wanted to try a little bit of everything, the okra was good but I felt it was on the salty side.My husband enjoyed the meatloaf , in fact he finished the whole thing. It was the perfect size and no left overs. I had the grilled oysters and I usually don't like oysters but these were delicious. The shrimp was just the right size for an appetizer and I wasn't too hungry so it was perfect with the oyster as a meal. Lastly the homemade ice cream was delicious. Aside from the salty okra overall the experience was great! The staff was very prompt, friendly and helpful
Love this Tampa staple! Came here for lunch this past weekend and was blown away. I've been several times before, and I've always had a stellar experience. The venue itself is placed perfectly on the outskirts of Armature Works, with beautiful greenery on the patio, and the inside is nicely decorated. The noise levels also weren't too crazy. Our waitress Nataleigh was amazing! She was so nice, attentive, and patient with our party. We started off with a dozen charbroiled oysters, which never disappoint. I was stuck between a few of the sandwiches and she actually ended up showing up the steak sandwich on the specials menu. I went with that and I am so happy I did! The steak was extremely tender and the datil pepper aioli was a perfect addition. Overall 5/5 star experience.
The food at Ulele was absolutely fantastic. I ordered the seafood risotto, and my guest had the pompano -- both were beautifully prepared with complementary, well-balanced flavors. Every element on the plate felt intentional, and we genuinely left wishing we could lick them clean. It was that good. The drinks were also strong and well mixed, which rounded out the meal perfectly. Where the experience faltered slightly was with seating and service. When we arrived, there were no available tables due to an event, so seating was first-come, first-served at the bar. While I understand hosting events, I was surprised that more space wasn't reserved for regular diners. The staff seemed stretched thin and a bit overwhelmed, which felt more like a planning issue than an effort issue. The decor is interesting -- there are some beautiful art pieces and what appear to be Tiffany-style stained glass windows inside, which add elegance. At the same time, there are sports jerseys and assorted memorabilia throughout the space that don't quite align with the more refined elements. The mix made the overall aesthetic feel slightly disjointed. That said, the quality of the food alone makes Ulele worth visiting. If you go, I'd just recommend checking ahead about events or peak times.
Ulele was absolutely out of this world--an absolute must if you're in Tampa. It's great for large groups and had a nice, comfortable atmosphere that wasn't too loud. The drinks were amazing (highly recommend the house margarita ). I ordered the seafood risotto and it was packed with flavor, plus the portions were huge. Make sure to grab a reservation, this place fills up quickly and would be hard to get seated without. In the warmer months, there's a nice patio outside and would be so nice! The real star, though, was dessert. The maple bacon ice cream was to die for. I honestly could've eaten the entire thing myself. Our waitress was so kind and attentive, with great suggestions throughout the meal. Can't wait to come back!
5 stars all the way for Ulele! Such a cool and unique dining experience right on the Riverwalk. The location and atmosphere are fantastic -- beautiful outdoor seating, great energy, and really interesting decor that makes the whole restaurant feel special and very "Tampa." Everything we ordered was delicious. Ordered the pompano topped with crawfish and a sun-dried tomato sauce with garlic green beans, wild rice, and fried carrot ribbons -- absolutely incredible and cooked perfectly, paired with a local Tampa IPA that complemented the fish perfectly. Others at our table had the seafood risotto and the tomahawk pork chop, and both were a huge hit. All fab!! Great service too. The food, drinks, ambiance, and setting all came together for an amazing experience. Highly recommend if you're visiting Tampa or just looking for a memorable dinner spot!

Michelle, we did a poor job explaining that our wine list features…
We decided to have lunch here because of all the great Yelp reviews. It earns all those great reviews! We started with Mac & cheese - mild smoky flavor, crispy cheese and perfectly cooked pasta. Ooooo! Next I had the Grouper sandwich with Cole slaw. I had the grouper blackened and it came with remoulade sauce, onion, pickles and lettuce. The slaw was a nice mix and a light Mayo sauce. It was all great! Others with us had the grouper entree, the burger and grilled chicken. Everyone thought it was all great. It's worthy, it earns 5 out of 5 and it gets a big recommend from our group! read more

Beautiful location & atmosphere. Really nice to walk around the water until your table is ready. Plenty of places to relax. Wait wasn't too long either for a Friday night. The seafood risotto is the best I've ever had- the shrimp and mussels were cooked perfectly, the risotto had a fluffy but creamy consistency, and there was just a enough sweetness to make it savory but not overpowering. The okra fries were a little soggy and not for me. The coffee ice cream was a perfect last bite. read more

Ulele is a chic and modern restaurant inspired by Native Floridian cuisine. It's located on the Tampa Riverwalk and is across the lawn from Armature Works. If you live in the Tampa Bay area or are planning on visiting, make sure to dine at Ulele or stop by for drinks. You won't regret it! WHAT WE ORDERED: STARTERS: - Okra Fries - Gator Tail - Alligator Hush Puppies ENTREES: - Seafood Risotto (GF) - Flank Steak 8oz (GF) - Short Rib 10oz - Grouper & Scallop Special DESSERTS TO SHARE: - Coconut Ice Cream (GF) - Flourless Chocolate Torte with Coconut Ice Cream. (GF) DRINKS: - Wine, Sangria, & Mocktails Ulele's Alligator Hush Puppies were my favorite of the 3 appetizers, and my Seafood Risotto was amazing... so much so that my companions were picking food off of my plate! Also, their homemade coconut ice cream was the best I've ever had. BONUS: They list Gluten-Friendly (GF) items on their menu, and there are a lot to choose from! read more

This place is so huge!!! You can dine indoors or dine outdoors. It was my first time having alligator. It reminded me of popcorn chicken, but more chewy. I came for dinner on a Saturday night and I had the Gouda Grouper. The fish was good and it came with green beans. Such a good and satisfying meal. For dessert I had key lime stack. o perfect for me to have while in Florida. The service was great. The waiter was very polite so shout out to Kayleigh. read more

this is our favorite spot to go to for dinner dates. we always get the steak and potatoes. Sometimes we call ahead of time and ask to sit near the door on the first floor because you get this like outside and inside vibe. One of these days we're gonna sit outside though and bring our dog. You can also order your dog a patty, which I think is super cute. upstairs is also really nice. He really can't go wrong at this restaurant. I love the big ass statues and just the overall look. I highly recommend going here on a date. read more

We tried this restaurant after research and recommendations. I am a travel advisor and we are checking out the Tampa Edition (wonderful by the way) and I always research where we should eat when traveling. Sitting outside in front of the river was an amazing choice. The seats could have been more careful as it was all rot iron furniture but we still had a great time. We started with a highland rita for Kev and a spring side smash and we LOVED the drinks. We also tried the crab Mac and cheese and ate every saucy bite. I got the Gouda grouper and Kev got the seafood risotto which was also very good. My suggestion- if you're like me and like sauces, ask for extra. That béchamel sauce is just.. chefs kiss. We ended the night with Kev having a pineapple upside down bread pudding and he said it was delicious. I had an espresso martini and the espresso house made ice cream which was decadent and a nice treat. read more

Thanks, Connor. Glad you got to visit Ulele and Tampa Heights.
You can have the best food ever, but it absolutely takes people like Liz, Leshawn and Jamar to really seal the deal! Go here. Sit at the oyster bar. Have the best birthday celebration ever! Second time here. This time for my birthday celebration. Sat at the oyster bar. Vodka Martini made exactly the way like it. I asked for a nice hit of vermouth, and there it was. Excellent sangria for Karen. Had roasted oysters, oysters on the half shell, Ulele burger, incredible fries, slaw and stacked key lime for dessert. Black coffee and Cafe Americano. Never had anything like the roasted oysters. They were spectacular! Oysters on half shell, the absolute best. The fries... my gold standards have always been McDonald's (when they were still frying with beef tallow in the early years) and Le Halles pommes frites fried in duck fat. Ulele's fries were right up there. Crispy golden brown on the outside, fluffy hot on the inside, not a hint of grease... What can I say. I love a good french fry. More than the amazing food though... while at the oyster bar, we chatted with Leshawn (shucked the oyster) and Jamar (oyster roaster par excellence). Great guys! We shared a lot about the food and birthdays, kids and being locals. Our server Liz was absolutely over the top. She was right on every step of the way. The birthday chocolates were a great surprise. Ask for Liz. One of the best servers ever! As if that wasn't enough, we were half way to our car (about fifty yards away from the restaurant) and someone said "Hey. There's someone chasing you." I turned around and it was Liz running at full speed. I forgot my hat and she was bringing it to me. read more

Ulele is such a staple to downtown Tampa. I love the story behind the restaurant. The food is a great portion size, creative and very flavorful. The must try is the charbroiled oysters! Woowza! The restaurant has a modern, industrial vibe with the bits of fairytale on the back lawn. Yes, I'm talking about Humpty Dumpty and Cinderella's pumpkin. Not sure if they will be permanent fixtures but it's a cool touch. It's also located right along Tampa's Riverwalk so you can eat hearty then walk it off as you watch the Tampa water taxi and other boats cruising by. read more

Finally checked this spot out and it was great! Parking was super easy in their lot that is a short walk. The property itself was beautiful for fairytale artwork and fairyland figures. The artwork and decor inside was also stunning. Bryan, our waiter, was fantastic! I had made a reservation using OpenTable. He came over to greet us and asked about allergies. I totally forgot on my OpenTable account I have my allergies listed. For a second I was like "how does he know?!" I loved that they printed the note for him about my allergies and he reassured me that none of their dishes contained what I am allergic to. I ordered the Seafood Risotto for $38. Very good! It is pan-seared shrimp and sea scallops, butter-poached lobster claw, crawfish tail meat, saffron risotto, charred corn cream sauce and seasonal vegetable. It is gluten free. The seasonal vegetable was string beans and they were cooked and seasoned perfectly! Loved this dish! Took half of it home for another day! Will definitely come back and check out lunch! read more

Until what time do they serve lunch?

Does Ulele have a happy hour, thanks?
No they do not. Was just there last night. They don't one because they say their prices are already fair
What kid items are available?
Yes they do have a kids menu with about 6 menu item choices.
Are there tables to sit by the water? How is the view? Or can you only see the water from the window inside?
Yes they do and the view is amazing. Especially at sunset 💕
Do you serve brunch buffet?
Hi Erika, sorry for the delay in response. We do not serve a brunch buffet.
Are you Pet Friendly?
There's outside seating & there were definitely plenty of pets around when I was there:)
Do you all accommodate dairy allergies? I'm having trouble finding a place for a friends birthday that has a good amount of options for dairy free.
I believe they do, but if not the Columbia does an AMAZING job accommodating any/all allergies - they have a special allergy menu, you just have to ask for it.
Can I get some details on the happy hour if there is one and if there is still an oyster happy hour as well?
No happy hour other than the oyster happy hour which I believe they still have. It's only on Tuesday's from 4-6 and they are $1 raw oysters. The offer is only available at the oyster bar.
Are any of the lunch items available at dinner time? i.e. hamburger or steak sandwich
While many items cross-over to the dinner menu, sandwiches like the steak sandwich and the hamburger are not on the evening menu

Can we ( should we - safe?) walk to the Straz center after dinner for a 7:30 show TKS
Yes, Janet. The Straz is about a 5 minute walk along the well-lit and popular Tampa Riverwalk at night.
Is valet parking available for Saturday early lunch - 11:30?
Our valet begins at 5 p.m. each day.
Is it possible to host a group of roughly 25? We're celebrating several birthdays.
Yes, we can. Please email groups@ulele.com for more details.
I called once on a Saturday and was told they only do to-go on weekdays. Called today and was told that they don't do to-go. Which one is it?
I don't think they do to go at all. This is a site down restaurant.
Do they have any special occasions for birthday, is this a good place to celebrate a birthday?
When you make your reservation, tell the restaurant by phone or via OpenTable. We do provide a little surprise at the end of the meal. Thanks for considering a celebration with us. Michael Kilgore, CMO
