    Our lunch was great! The service is incredible and the food was delicious. We enjoyed the empanadas from the nibbles menu. I had the grilled cheese that was very elevated with prosciutto. My husband had the chicken sandwich that he really enjoyed. He ordered the fries on the side that were so good.

    The food was great, I couldn’t believe how hot everything was at the table. It was like the chef prepared it right beside me. I don’t know our server’s name, but she had long braids and she was lovely and the service was fantastic. The ambiance was awesome. They had live music and a really great band that wasn’t too loud. You could still have conversation. I would definitely go back there again.

    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!

    Eating at Michael’s is a special treat when visiting Sarasota. This time we chose three dishes: the charcuterie board, sea bass, and chopped salad. The charcuterie board was outstanding, and the sea bass with risotto was excellent. To my taste, the chopped salad was not as good. It was overdressed with a somewhat sweet dressing, reminiscent of Russian dressing.
