My bestie and I wanted to have a nice brunch with a few drinks in a laid back atmosphere. After some debate, we decided to try Tulua. We skipped the table wait and asked to be seated at the bar. Their Prosecco and Bloody Mary were just right! Menu... OMG so much deliciousness with added humor. Crab Cake Benedict I had with grits. Bestie got the croissant sandwich. We dove right in! Good drinks, service, everything on point. I took the Lox home for my husband. Wow! So much salmon, big portion and it was fantastic! It didn't last long enough for photos! Next time! DEFINITELY!!! lol
Chicken & waffles was delicious. The breakfast board is the way to go especially with children.
Food was great and so was the service!! We went for breakfast/brunch and it was delicious.
We got the small Breakfast Board for the two of us and it was perfect!!! Super delicious, I LOVE the pancake dippers- so neat! I've come a couple times and usually able to be seated pretty quickly even during peak hours! Such good vibes, queer friendly (obvi- drag brunch)
Food was good, service amazing, and ambiance lively and fun! Came for drag brunch hosted by Lady Visaya and the show was ON POINT! SO much fun. I totally recommend coming for a drag brunch! Ordered the Crab Cake Benedict and it was good but could've used a bit more salt. The hollandaise sauce was creamy and serving size was good. The side of grits was creamy too, but I asked for cheese in my grits and didn't get any. I would still try more on their menu for sure. The service was awesome. They were attentive and friendly! The drag show was the main event and Lady Visaya was the star of the show! So beautiful and absolutely entertaining. Had so much fun watching the performance to hit 2000s songs. Very nostalgic. The crowd was fun and diverse and the show was interactive. Go here for a fun brunch day!
Food: Beautiful on the outside AND inside. We had the chef's choice breakfast board which is randomized for EACH customer; it's a surprise even for the waiters. It turned out to be a wonderful surprise including crispy seasoned hash browns, oblonged shaped pancakes stuffed with hidden bacon, more bacon, browned French toast, shrimp and grits, and fruits. Everything on the board was exceptional. The only critique I would give are the grits; it needed more salt which I simply adjusted with table salt on the side. Very reasonably priced for the board; $30 and fed 2 people. Service: Standard nice waitress that checked frequently. Ambiance: colorful with the LGBT decor, plants, and wall art (even the menu had some fun LGBT items haha). The only critique I would give is the odor of the place, but maybe it was because we were seated near the bathroom. Edit: forgot to mention I RARELY give 5/5 reviews and I rarely eat breakfast/brunch, but this place made me realize breakfast can be great and not just some generic IHOP or maple street. Please show this local shop some love especially if you stop near the beach!!
I'm not sure about celiac safety - however I had the not your basic b**ch hash browns and they were good. The vegetarians were very happy, the little one was beyond spoiled and the carnivores were in heaven! Prices are on par with portion sizes. Food was fresh, service was friendly and on top of everything! Inside was quaint, fun and clean! Jhada provided good service and was helped by another who was equally as good. :)
I like the concept of a charcuterie board for breakfast and no one does it like Tulua Bistro. I would give it 5 stars as the food is fenomenal, but the last time we went there the service wasn't the best. We ordered the unlimited mimosas ($25.00) which after ordered our server told us we had 30 minutes left to order more mimosas. Then proceeded to tell us that we were only allowed one mimosa per person at the time, but other tables around us had servers bringing them multiple mimosas. We ended up having 3 per person. Our server was as well would disappear and we had to try to get his attention multiple times to get refills and order our food. The board we ordered was great, we enjoyed our food, but I felt like our experience this time was not worth the money we paid.
