The atmosphere and decoration of this restaurant is definitely one of a kind. The original lamps and decorations make you think you are under the sea. Our waiter was really kind and nice. The drink I got was a non-alcoholic one - I can’t remember the name...Read More

Gorgeous place with very scrumptious food. We arrived early and we're promptly seated. The service was excellent. Had a lovely champagne cocktail with some fun appetizers, like chicken pasty, eggplant and crab cakes. Each dish was delicious and very well served. Dinner was branzino, salmon...Read More

We stopped in for an early “snack” and ended up staying for hours. Our waiter , Kacey, was both informative and friendly. Drinks were perfect and the food was amazing - that atmosphere was that of a Michelin Star restaraunt. Highly recommend the tuna tartar

This place is a gem! The ambiance and decor are spectacular. Service was excellent, and food was very well prepared and delicious. The tapas format allowed us to pick and choose share a variety of items. The cocktail and wine list was also top notch.

We were looking for a different change of pace for food and went in right before happy hour was ending. This establishment has main courses also but we decided to go with tapas. For tapas we decided to get the Zucchini balls, lamb meatballs, oysters,...Read More

20% service fee for all customers, excellent service, eye-catching interior, decent food. The filet of beef was served in a strange soup plate with very very long edges that made it a little hard to eat. Everything was cooked well but there was a bit too...Read More

My mother and I recently had dinner here. I felt the lighting was a bit too dim. I understand that it was part of the atmosphere, but it was a bit tough to read the menu. The food was delicious. We shared the crabcakes for an...Read More

You will likely be enchanted by Ula Restaurant's nautical theme as I was when I went to Farallon Restaurant years ago. The friend who took me to Ula for Valentine's Day has the place dialed in and perfectly time to slip through a side door...Read More

This restaurant is really pretty inside. It has a sea theme decor. Aestheticly, you have nice sights everywhere you look. The ceiling is a deep blue color, and there's are jelly fish chandeliers hanging. Our waiter (so sorry I didn't get his name) was REALLY...Read More

Perfect place to have dinner, especially if seeing a show at the SF Playhouse, which is right next door. There was a minor fluke with our reservation where it was showing on our phone but not in their system, but it was quickly resolved and we...Read More

Highlight from our San Francisco trip was this lovely evening at Ula Restaurant and Tapas Bar. We tried the beef tartare, a shrimp dish, I had the filet mignon and Ethan tried the lamb dish. I loved the architecture, atmosphere, and decor. And of course, the dishes...Read More

Atmosphere is awesome. Food and cocktail were good! I ordered the black truffle old fashioned, and it was perfect. The lobster bisque was a lot thinner of a soup than I expected but still good. Dungeness crab ravioli sauce was tasty, but the ravioli were...Read More

Excellent service and amazing atmosphere. The restaurant is just plain gorgeous and breathtaking. The food, while visually pleasing, is mediocre at best. Everything was under-seasoned. The seafood carbonara was absolutely not worth $35. The seared tuna was more in line with its...Read More

Ula isn’t just a Mediterranean tapas and seafood restaurant—it’s a vibe. From the moment you peek through the window, you’re hooked. The interior? A whimsical blend of jellyfish-inspired lights and one-of-a-kind art. But keep walking—there’s more. I understand the tiles on the roof in the...Read More

Sadly a big disappointment. Only 4 tables of guests and we were forced to wait 15 minutes just to be seated. The former glorious Farallon Restaurant has been tainted with poor mediocre quality food and drinks. Tasteless sauces and no attempt to be unique or...Read More
