There may be no restaurant in all of the Tampa bay area that packs more flavor into each bite. Go early or be prepared to wait for a table. Space is very limited and demand is always high but the flavors at this restaurant are well worth the wait.

Located in the historic water works building and adjacent to Tampa's original water source, Ulele Spring, this restaurant combines flavors of old Florida with historic scenes, timeless beauty and a dining experience 2nd to none. Try the char-grilled oysters and take a walk along the river walk. Sunsets on the river are breathtaking.
Ulele is both a restaurant and a micro brewery that uses the water from the neighboring natural spring to brew its beer. Brewmaster Tim Shackleford is truly a master of his trade. I always check the seasonal brew but the Rusty's Red and the Wedding Beer are my favorite goto brews.

Datz Delicatessen serves up hearty sandwiches and rich flavors from killer Reuben to fried jalapeno mac and cheese balls and craft beer. There is something for everyone at Datz and that's before we say a word about their desert bar and sister restaurant next door called Datz Dough. Neither location is for the calorie counter but if you deserve a treat, you've got to indulge here.

IT'S TINY on space but HUGE on flavor and personality. They don't serve alcohol but they welcome you to bring your own!
