Ulele (say “you-lay-lee”) celebrates ingredients from the waters and land of Florida once home to many Native Americans, including the young princess it is named after. Dishes come off a ten-foot barbacoa grill, on the Tampa Riverwalk in Tampa Heights. Open for lunch and dinner, 11am–10pm Sunday to Thursday and until 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
