Ulele

One of the most recognizable restaurants along The Tampa Riverwalk is this hyperlocal and seasonally focused venture from the Columbia Restaurant Group (Columbia Restaurant). Built in a renovated 100-year-old water plant, the space itself is the overarching draw thanks to high-beamed ceilings, a towering horse sculpture smack dab in the middle of the dining room, a breezy outdoor patio and bar complete with cornhole and lounge areas, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river. On the dining side of things, seafood is the main theme with Oysters by the Baker’s Dozen, Seared Fresh Sea Scallops, and Blackened Mahi-Mahi “Mr. Henry” (green papaya slaw, charred corn salsa, garlic spinach).
