What a cool place! The decor is underwater in shells watching jellyfish float by and other sea creatures on the ceiling! The food is amazingly presented and delicious! The service by all was excellent and our main server, Katalla, made the whole experience a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend checking out Ula!

I recently dined at ULA Restaurant & Tapas Bar and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was inviting and perfect for a relaxed evening out. I ordered the bolognese, half garlic shrimp, an espresso martini, and finished with the pecan tart for dessert. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The bolognese was rich and comforting, while the garlic shrimp was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. The espresso martini was expertly crafted—smooth, balanced, and a great complement to the meal. The pecan tart was the perfect ending, offering just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, everything came together for a well-rounded and enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food, drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Strangely one of the best kept secrets in union square. Extremely talented bartender staff who will try any drink you ask for and are also quite creative. They are super friendly always willing to chat and have the benefit of working in a very beautiful restaurant. This restaurant space has evolved but it's still one of the more beautiful ones in San Francisco surveying great seafood and Tapas.

Wowza!!! This was a surprise hit in NYE afternoon. We were looking for a tapas bar near Union Square and we ended up here… MUCH TO OUR DELIGHT! It’s mainly French influenced cuisine with and extensive cocktail bar and a decor that feels like a Wonka meets Gaudi. (Jellyfish hanging lights?! 🤷♂️) The portions we small (similar to those in France) and the flavors were AMAZING!! And the cocktails were fab as well. Next time we’re in SF, we’ll likely make a bee-line right to Ula. Pricey, but worth every penny. NOTE: they build 20% gratuity into the tab, even for a party of 2. Took us off guard, so just so you know.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant during brunch. The food was absolutely delicious, and I really enjoyed sitting at the bar — the atmosphere was great and very comfortable. Our waitress, Marina, was extremely attentive and made me feel very welcome, giving me a lot of personal attention throughout the visit. The presentation of both the food and the dessert was outstanding — everything looked and tasted amazing. I truly enjoyed my time here and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!
