"Bulla has been one of our favorite places for years but unfortunately things seem to have changed. I can only imagine that the place is under new management since our experience was so different. We went for dinner on Friday night and immediately notice a couple things. A big sign saying that they no longer accepted cash, just credit cards. The other was that it was much slower than it used to be on a Friday at 7:30, and we now know why. The food was still good outside the the churros we had for desert that tasted like freezer burnt twigs. The problem was everything else. The table‘s first round of drinks took nearly 30 minutes to arrive. The waitress apologized profusely several times and in the end, the drinks were comped. Remember… I said the place wasn’t very busy. My beer was brought to me in a can. Don’t think I ever had a can served to me in a nice restaurant. No glass, just a can. Our 2nd round of drinks took nearly 20 minutes and this time I was served a can, unopened. I don’t even believe that’s legal when you don’t have a package license. I guess I’m now going out to dinner only to open up my own beer. The worse part of the experience was that the restaurant seemed in a hurry to go home. At 9:20 they turned up the lights… you know, like when a bar turns up the lights to tell you they’re closing. Mind you, they close at 10. The check was hurriedly given to us and we felt pressured to pay quickly. We asked if we could order a round of drinks to take up to the rooftop bar and we got them oddly quickly this time. So at 9:30 we paid and took our drinks up to the rooftop…except the rooftop bar was closed… at 9:30 on a Friday night. Why bother having a rooftop bar? We took our drinks outside to a table on the street but before we could enjoy our drinks, employees started putting up the chairs and cushions all around us. We finally gave up and left. Always makes me sad when good restaurants stop caring about the guest experience and then wonder why business tank"

The crispy calamari was good but the portion was small for the price. The paella was good and big enough to feed people. Our server was amazing too but it is a little pricey for the portion.

Tried 3 different Paella’s all were scorched, greasy and lacking flavor. Reservation at 3. Didn’t sit until 3:25. Very unorganized. Seated in a back overflow vestibule and seemingly forgotten about.

We had reservations for 12:15 but had to wait an extra 30 minutes before being seated. The service was slower than usual due to the busy crowds. However, once we had our drinks, the food arrived promptly and it was delicious. It must have just been a busy day, so I would definitely come back again. View menu

Once again, an amazing experience! I wanted to introduce my adult children to your restaurant, so we visited on Father's Day. Alex was our server, and like all the servers I have encountered at your Tampa location, Alex was exceptional! The food once again stole the show, and my children thoroughly enjoyed it too! It was a wonderful experience spending time with my children at my favorite restaurant, indulging in my favorite dishes. It was a true escape for me and my family. Thank you so much for the Bulla experience!

My husband and I have been dining in Bulla several times and never had any issues whatsoever; however, our last dining experiences weren't the bests, yesterday and the time before I faced the same exact issue: the cocktails that I wanted (I'm talking about more than weren't available even when they were listed as part of the drink menu, the last times I was told the reason they weren't available was that they were missing ingredients to make it....that speaks very bad about this Spanish restaurant and it's a really a pity that the management is not doing what it needs to be done to have something as simple as cinnamon for example that was what the waitress told me they were missing and the r...
