uli's restaurant

i tried thisplacelast night and thought it was pretty good. i ordered the neptune schnitzel and it included 2 large pieces of schnitzel with baby shrimp and i think it was hollandaise sauce... the red cabbage and spaetzle complemented the schnitzel nicely (i wish there was a bigger helping though). their red cabbage was the best i've tasted in any local german restaurant here and it had a nice vibrant colour. the drink list was pretty varied too and includes a great selection of european and local craft beers. we sat at the patio which was really nice and also heated. i would come back here on another beautiful day and just chill.

it’s been years since i’ve been to white rock and the only thing that i could remember was the big hills leading down to the beach and the fact that the actual “rock” which the city gets their name from is painted white. after a jaunt along the boardwalk, we walked up and down marine drive looking for aplaceto eat until we arrived at uli’s. we wound up ordering the oysters rockefeller ($4.50 each) which is prepared with creamed spinach, grana padano cheese, and hollandaise sauce. while extremely cheesy, it’s not a strong/hard cheese so it goes well with the delicate oyster.

it is pretty expensive at $19 for a burger, so it should be really good.  the burger is good.  not sure it justifies the price, but okay, at least it's good.  the bigger issue here is the service.  very nice servers, so not faulting them, as such, but there is something about the way theplaceis managed because it took 90 minutes from sitting down before our burgers arrived.  that time is absurd and guess what, it's not the first time this has happened!

on top of that, the server took our drink orders, but there were six of us and she took the order for the four near her and then left, not even asking about what the other two wanted.  that was strange.  when my beer arrived, after about 15 minutes, it was not the beer i ordered.  not a big deal in itself because they changed it quickly, but part of the whole confusion and long wait.  

when we finally got our burgers, we got an apology and free dessert.  that was a really nice gesture and much appreciated, but really, i would just rather get the burger a little sooner. i mean, at $19 it should be good and it should be served a little quicker.  reading other reviews, i'm not the only one this has happened to so i hope uli's will get it together because it is a nice place.

bestplaceon the beach for a nice meal. you can tell the operators have a lot of passion for their work. has an incredible beer selection also. highly recommended.

just ok. one of my daughters was here in the summer and enjoyed it. so, i overcame my years of resistance (always looked a little worn down) and checked it out. on the upside, they have an impressive selection of local and imported beer, and the service is friendly. unfortunately, the food is just ok. the burgers we ordered were at best a 7 out of 10 compared to your typical burger in upscale chains like milestones/cactus/earls. my wife said her fish and chips were not bad, but not impressive. and while i am no decorator, there is a point where funky becomes shabby, and i suggest thisplacecould use an good overhaul and cleaning. finally, observing the staff, i got the sense that the manager was either very laid back, or trying to create more of a pub like environment. at times during our dinner, some of the staff were so loud in their interactions with regulars, that we could not hear each other speak.

amazing!. i am so shocked after having read the reviews on this place. i have been coming here for years and i have never been disappointed with the food or the service (which are both excellent). yes, the food might be more expensive than what people are used to, but that is because most of the ingredients are local and ethically farmed which turns out to be more expensive in the long run. it is worth it for the peace of mind and the delicious taste! i usually get the schnitzel or either of the burgers when i go to uli's and i don't know how anyone could find anything bad to say about either (especially their in house bacon which is fantastic). i also love thisplacebecause they have an excellent selection of beers and are willing to pour it into a boot for you. it really livens up a dinner party.
keep it up, you guys are doing a marvelous job. best in white rock.

overpricedplaceand the food is not that good i don't see why people find thisplacegood

you gotta eat here!. thisplaceis such a delight. friendly staff, wonderful view, and awesome food! i am hooked on uli's restaurant. i take my friends there all the time. i even go there by myself for a self date, haha!

the tomato bocconcini was disappointing. great idea with balsamic pearls but 3 pieces of small bocconcini?? insulting. the pasta was okay and we really enjoyed the crab cakes. for a busyplacewith regular customers i hope the rest of the menu is better.

mmmm beer. excellent beer menu that changes all the time! the bartender and waiters are very knowledgeable about the beer and wine they sell and will make excellent recommendations. the food is awesome, this is by far the bestplaceto eat and drink in white rock.
