    We drive from New Port Richey to eat here because you just can’t beat the quality of the food for the price. Texas Cattle knows how to cook a beautiful steak! The sides are included with your meal and the cheese bread is so good! We love the food and our service tonight from Tristan and Madison was top notch. Thank you Madison for the wine recommendation, the red blend was perfect with my filet. Our steaks were cooked perfectly to our order and were absolutely delicious. Thank you for a great meal start to finish!

    This was our second time dining at Ulele and it was just as good if not better than the first. Despite it being Valentine’s Day the food and drinks came out in good time and everything we ordered was exactly as it should have been. The Barbacoa shrimp was delicious and the oysters are some of the freshest and best tasting we’ve had in Florida. Two of us ordered filet mignon medallions as a special and they were cooked perfectly. For dessert we had the bourbon butter cake with vanilla ice cream and it was the perfect end to a delicious meal. Overall it was an enjoyable experience and we will definitely go back again!

    This was a crazy busy night and Ovation was packed. The staff all hustled and worked hard. My New York strip steak was delicious and prepared perfectly. Highly recommend the Brussels sprouts too. Special shout out to Jules our server. She was friendly, thoughtful and made great recommendations.

    Our waitress was fantastic but the kitchen was pretty slow. We were the first table there so it might have been an issue with getting the kitchen up and going but we waited about 35 min for our main courses. And it was just grilled fish. Food was fantastic though.
