Restaurants near Tropicana Motel

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!

Reservation honored on time. Service was on the slow side even though there appeared to be plenty of staff but it was Valentines day and the restaurant was full. The menu was three courses with a varied selection. First course wedding soup and Caesar salad were excellent as were the hot slices of bread. Main course selection chosen was fruiti de mar. Portions were large. The quality of seafood was average. For desert, there were three choices. The ones selected were excellent. Being Valentine’s day, the menu was special, not their usual one. Preference would have been for their regular menu. Overall, this is a high end restaurant with the ambience, quality of service and offerings to back it up. My wife and I have been here several times now and will be back. It is that good.

Our waiter, Davis, was excellent! Food presentation was beautiful & delicious. We’ll be back.

Every year we meet friends here & enjoy a Spanish / Cuban meal in one of many rooms of this historic restaurant. There are three large parking lots, a gift shop and always a wait. Today we discovered that the restaurant is expanding and taking over the gift shop. The gift shop will be moving across the street. We always start with the sangria which Victoria prepared table side in a Spanish pitcher. The warm bread & 1905 salad is excellent. We shared 4 small devil crab croquettes, beef saltedo & we finished by sharing a warm white chocolate bread pudding. Portions were huge & prices reasonable. Our lunch was delicious. All four of us devoured our meals. We went next-door into the gift shop with a sell, their beautiful pottery, tiles, wine, cigars, cookbook, and ingredients

We eat here frequently. It never disappoints. The servers are very professional and go out of their way to please the customers. If you have a special request, they make sure the kitchen gets the message.For example, I like my fried calamari not too crunchy- 25 seconds in the fryer! (Pure perfection!). The management has a recipe for success and the staff goes out of its way to comply.
