Hula Bay is one of my favorite waterfront restaurants in Tampa. The views of the bay are beautiful, especially at sunset, and the atmosphere is relaxed yet lively. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, with great seafood options and well-crafted cocktails. The service is friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. It’s a perfect spot for a casual lunch, a date night, or drinks with friends by the water. Highly recommend!

The server Christine was amazing and did a good job at providing the best service possible but the food just wasn’t there. Sushi wasn’t fresh and authentic. It was dry and not juicy even with a touch of soy sauce. The noodle bowl was very tangy and overflowing with orange flavored sauce. The chicken was raw and the noodles came out cold the first time so we had to send it back.
The manager did a good job of remedying the situation by giving us 50% off the noodles and re-cooking it but the quality of the food just wasn’t there for a bowl of noodles above $22.
The view was nice and the vibes were good but don’t come here for the food

I love waterfront anything! This place just feels amazing. I didn’t have to wait to be seated, the patio vibe is situated right right to enjoy watching the boats come in and out the pier, as well as watching sunset. Definitely recommend

This is one of my favorite places! The view is amazing! There is a nice variety of seafood and burgers. It’s just a great atmosphere to meet friends and catch up. Stay for the sunset.

The ladies and I ventured out once again to a place we’d never been, and it did not disappoint! It was a beautiful evening by the water—great company, dolphins making a few surprise appearances, a stunning sunset, and delicious food.
Every dish we ordered was absolutely amazing and cooked to perfection. I have a shellfish allergy and was a bit nervous at first, but there was no need to worry. While there weren’t many options without shrimp as the main ingredient, what was available was sooo good! The crab cake and the coconut rice were the stars of the show, with the fried rice coming in a very close second.
Our server was pleasant. Overall, it was a great experience and we’ll definitely be back!
Note: The only downside was the parking situation—it’s probably best to valet to minimize the risk of being towed.

Loved the atmosphere here. Super chill, good times, live music, great food. As a Canadian who knows his way around some seafood, this place is amazing. Food was delicious, house made Hawaiian slaw was awesome, house tartar sauce went so well with not even just the fish but the shrimp and scallops too! We will definitely be back again while we are down! Thanks for having us Hula Bay!

Nice spot along the water. The menu had more routine bar fare as well as sushi options. Courtesy of my kind server, Steve, I gave the Hawaiian roll a try and quite enjoyed it. The cucumber wrap was definitely unique, made for a fun change of pace.
The view was stunning particularly as the sunset came in. And while I finished eating quickly my server didn’t rush me to pay and leave but allowed me to stay and delight in the evening beauty.

Took the family here on the boat. Nice spot, could fit about six boats at their dock. Got the volcano chicken sandwich, it is a very big sandwich. The mango cart was perfect. Went here a bunch went I worked at MacDill many years ago.

This is an amazing bar and restaurant. They have good happy hour deals M-Thurs in which you can get $4 well drinks and discounts on beer and food. We got the California roll which was very good and the chocolate lava cake for dessert . There is a really nice view of the water .

I recently had the sea scallops at Hula Bay Club, and they were absolutely outstanding — easily the best in the Tampa Bay area! Perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor. It was pure poetry on a plate. Highly recommend trying them if you’re a seafood lover!
