I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work and planning for our son’s Welcome Party Friday evening. It was truly spectacular and you and your staff deserve all the credit! The staff totally went above and beyond; the food was wonderful all our guests commented on how fabulous it was; the wedding beer was a HUGE hit; the lay out for the party was perfect and was way beyond my expectations. I know you all are in the “throws” of Holiday Party season, but you would never know that… the staff was so helpful, friendly and wonderful; you would have thought it was their only party that day! I am so thrilled Ulele was available; I had “visioned” this party at Ulele for 2 years and was definitely not disappointed in any way. It was a perfect beginning (Welcoming) to a wonderful wedding weekend. I truly think this party set the tone for the entire weekend!Thank you again. Hope you have a wonderful Holiday season!!!

Absolutely everyone commented on how fantastic the staff were atthe wedding, not to mention that the food was fantastic! Even my picky grandmother had nothing but good things to say.Even when I was feeling a little stressed, I had total confidence that you and your team were on top of everything.
Josh and I will be back to Ulele for many happy hours, date nights, and anniversaries and remember how special that evening.Thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you for the wonderful rehearsal dinner for our son Mitch and his fiancé Minette. The food was amazing! I did not think you would be able to outdo the fried oysters, but then out came the lobster claw appetizer. The surf-and-turf was unbelievably delicious, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I have received so many compliments on the dinner. Our servers were amazing, always there when we needed a refill or had a question. Again, thank you so much. It was splendid!!

“We held a group networking reception here last November and were so impressed! The events managers were so helpful and quick to answer any of our questions during the planning. Food was delicious, bartenders are quick and friendly and the outdoor space was beautiful. Overall the evening was a success and guests really enjoyed themselves.”

The evening could not have been more perfect as we arrived just before sunset along the waterside. The near-cloudless sky, the gorgeous bright orange/red sunset and the cool breeze and the view alongside the Hillsborough River set the tone for a relaxing evening and kept everyone in our group, including your patrons eager to sit outside, enjoying the beautiful view.
If the weather and setting was not enough, let’s talk about the fabulous food!! I now know why Ulele sells more oysters than any other restaurant or chain of restaurants in the Tampa Bay area. The chaffing tray was emptied almost immediately and I almost was afraid not to wait for the staff to replenish as I did not want to miss the chance to have just one more.
The fresh green beans, the Gouda Grouper and the Skirt Steak Chimichurri rounded out the meal ever so elegantly. The gift box of delicious truffles was such a special treat that I am still thinking about them as I write this, days after my last bite. Rich, creamy and oh so melt-in-your-mouth, I cannot wait to have another, if can hide them from my spouse that is.
