Hardee County Restaurants

Brian was our waiter and it was the most memorable birthday experience! He gave us an excellent overview if the history of the restaurant and sang 2x for our birthday guest! He gave us the history of the bambino (Babe Ruth’s) dish he ordered when we came and it was incredible! Thank you for such a memorable experience! 1905 Salad and Cubans were amazing as well!!

This was my mother’s first time at this restaurant and our server, Chris (that looks like Will Smith - give him a raise), gave us both the best service I’ve ever received there. This was a birthday dinner and we ordered the 14 oz A5 wagyu off menu and the Tristan lobster tail along with truffle mac&cheese. 10/10 on everything. I recommend the lychee martini, it’s my go to. The Washington oysters were PERFECT! I highly recommend the octopus ceviche as well. Thanks again for making the perfect birthday dinner celebration!

Ulele is a must for anyone visiting the Tampa area. Make your reservation on OpenTable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ or you’ll have a long wait most of the time!. Walking around and to the restaurant is in itself a visual experience. We were greeted at checking in with a smile by the hostess and an “Your table is ready, please walk this way” had to be less than 3 shakes of a lambs tail. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Our server Kimberly came over quickly provide water and took our drink order. Before i could switch out my sunglasses for my eyeglasses we had 2 perfectly made dirty martinis on the table. These martinis were smooth not to dirty with 2 fresh olives. The taste was perfect….. or we would not have had 3 lol. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Order the dozen chargrilled oysters. $46.00 and well worth it, hell i was going to order another dozen… actually i should have. These are fire roasted see video chard to perfection with grated Parmesan and Roman cheese and not to mention the garlic butter sauce. “This gets my “Drop the Napkin, it’s so damn good” rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Go with the Blackened Gouda Grouper fresh vegetables and wild rice….. flavored to blackened perfection, i mean what doesn’t taste good with Gouda….. Seriously! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and yes… you really do want the Jalapeno Beer Corn Muffins… We were so full and satisfied we had no room for desert. But I’m sure it would be fabulous. The bill did not include an automatic 18 to 20 percent gratuity which in my opinion is the way it should be…. If the service and the food is good no one has an issue providing the proper gratuity.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. When you make your culinary journey to this fabulous restaurant, tell me you just didn’t have one of the best dinning experience in ages…. The overall rating.. yep you guessed it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was bingo night so noise was to be expected! Fun and festive! Service was a tad slow and we had to ask for items several times. We did find prices were high for food quality. $10 desserts which were tasty but obviously frozen and thawed. $16.50 for nachos and $6 to add chicken with toppings sparsely only on top --- not layered throughout etc. DEFINITELY room to improve!
