There’s been a revitalization of sorts here in Tampa. I was born and raised here so I can say that I’ve been present for it and while I love getting out of town, exploring new places and food scenes, I’m proud of where Tampa has come and where it’s going.
Not too long ago, chain restaurants were found everywhere. Sometimes these are okay. I mean, a lot of them are offering healthier options nowadays and they tend to be very family-friendly, a feature many Tampanians love, I’m sure. But a gem of a local restaurant can’t go unnoticed.
That’s where Ulele comes in, along with many other restaurants local to Tampa that have cropped up in the last handful of years, making my dining experiences much better for them. Ulele is one of my favorites because the native Floridian feel of their menu items speaks to a sophistication that’s still comfortable, a homage that’s genuine, a feeling that’s unique.
Their Fresh From Florida menu options are exploratory yet familiar, and the ambiance both inside and out (yes, of course there’s outdoor seating, right in view of the river) is everything. With fresh seafood, steak and produce, Ulele was an easy pick for one of the Fresh From Florida On The Menu restaurants.
With so many great options to choose from, you’ll want to visit Ulele many times over. This time, we ordered:
North Atlantic calamari with Amarillo chili lemon dressing and sauce piquant
The Ulele: Mixed greens, arugula and watercress with baby Swiss, cranberry beans, fire-roasted peppers, onions, warm balsamic vinaigrette
I get this salad every single visit. It seems simple, and in many ways it is!, but everything comes together so nicely. (more…)
