The owners of Florida's oldest restaurant, created this popular restaurant near Armature Works - a trendy and high-end food marketplace nearby. Named for the Native American princess,Ulele, the creative Native Indian-inspired menu showcases fresh-caught fish from the nearby Gulf of Mexico. Favorite starters here include the Barbacoa-grilled oysters with garlic butter, grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses washed down with a flight of tasty craft brews from Ulele's on-site brewery. It's a relatively new and popular restaurant taking a different direction with traditional Native American -influenced cuisine.
