Top Best American Restaurants in Indian Shores

"I had heard good things about Ulele (Ū-lë-lē) prior to our visit and it absolutely lived up to expectations. The concept was created by Tampa Bay’s Gonzmart family, now in their fifth generation as owners of Florida’s oldest restaurant, The Columbia (more on that later). Ulele restaurant and craft brewery opened after a $5 million restoration of Tampa’s original public water pump house, which drew from a spring that once supplied all the city’s drinking water."
