I’ve been to Ultra several times and the food, service and drinks are phenomenal. Most recently, I was there for supper with a group to celebrate a friend’s birthday and for the most part it was wonderful. Unfortunately, we seemed to be surrounded by several tables of ‘influencers’ who were constantly wondering in and out of the Gold room, taking constant photos and worried about their hair, makeup and wardrobe. It was extremely interruptive to us an other tables (considering the money we were paying for supper and drinks).

Food was cooked to perfection. Our waitress paced our meal between appetizers and desserts. Our favourite was the grilled octopus. The desserts seemed a little pricey at first but well worth it to finish an excellent meal. It was an excellent start to our holiday dining.
