I got three kinds of Eastern European style sausages after tasting them. Very different, delicious and tasty. The place is full of items, it's clean, and they offer both fresh and preserved foods. I asked what nationality Max was a learned he is Bulgarian. Having never been to that country, I asked if they had a condiment or sauce imported from Bulgaria... score! I got a very unique, yummy bottle of Spicy Velika, Coarsly Ground Lutenitsa. Life is good when you try new things!

We chatted a bit and I occupied one of their tables while I nommed on my gyro and a mojito flavored imported soda. Sandwich was excellent and hit the spot. It was loaded up and fresh. Besides basic staples, they had honey cake and other sweets in one cooler, a huge variety of pirogies, those Serbian sausages and ice cream in another, and a wide selection of European deli meats. It felt like I walked through their few aisles and found new things each time. This really is a hole in the wall, sort of like bodega style with seating for maybe 4 people inside.

I went inside and found the store to be a quaint European grocery store with rotisserie ovens cooking roasted Halal lamb. They have several Halal frozen meat options too. I bought a roasted lamb, it is only sold by the roast, not serving, and I had to run as I was on my lunch break so I didn't take pictures. The customer service was good and the employee double wrapped my lamb because it was super hot and fresh out of the oven. When I got home, my kids tore into it and said that it reminded them of the tender delicious lamb that we had in Turkey, last Summer. The only down side is that they only have a few lamb roasts and when they sell out, they are done for the day. Their hours are limited and they close in the early evening. We will be back soon. Sorry, no pictures of the roasted lamb, either, as my kids dug into it like wild animals and couldn't stop eating it long enough to get a picture. Yes, it is that good.

I cannot begin to describe how much I loved this place…read more We came in for breakfast and had the place to ourselves around 9:30, but it was a Sunday and a slow morning in St. Pete. Everything was made to order and absolutely delicious ! I was so happy , my Quiche was moist and the perfect texture , and my Husband's croissant with egg and sausage was also very good. However it is a croissant and egg you eat with a fork and knife, just a heads up. I had an iced hazelnut latte and it was absolutely delicious! It's a quaint restaurant , a few tables but nothing too big, though they do have one table that can accommodate a large group. The service was brilliant, I wish I got to speak with her note she had a wonderful energy. She was the either the owner or a manager, the only one there at this time. Thank you for a wonderful experience and meal.

Very disappointing experience I really don't know how anyone…read morecan give this place a good review I went here on Valentine's Day with my girlfriend. We made reservations 2 weeks in advance and we were seated in back area of the restaurant under a fan where it was very cold. We waited at least 20 min to be served. They had a fixed menu for valentines day which was fine. We ordered the grilled snapper and 2 glasses of wine. Waited over 25 min for the food. Asked for bread, which everyone had on their tables 3x before getting 2 pieces of overcooked muffins put on the table When our food arrived it was about one tablespoon of linguini 3 pieces of a vegetable and grilled snapper with a bland creme sauce that was dry We paid 37 for the meal which included no salad and 11.50 per glass of wine. 118.00 for a poorly cooked meal and overpriced wine which was mediocre at best We were going to go back to sample the whole menu but after this experience there is no way I travel a lot for business and have eaten at a lot of places, this place is in the bottom 5 percent. Wouldn't recommend. Sorry

There is street parking and a small private parking lot. I highly recommend reservations on the Resy app about 1-2 weeks in advance, as the restaurant is busy in winter. FOOD: You can choose between a la carte or the Prix Fixe menu. The Prix Fixe is a small-portioned three-course (bite, appetizer, and entrée) menu featuring some of our signature dishes. The Prix Fixe experience begins at $58 per person (there are additional add-ons) for dine-in only. 1. Waterzooi Soup (3/5; Red Farms chicken | caramelized leeks | carrots | local cream | focaccia toast | parsley emulsion | carrot purée): This is a Belgian soup. The serving size of the soup in the prix fixe was relatively small. The presentation was nice, and the chicken soup was a nice winter dish. The chicken broth was savory but at room temperature. 2. Autumn Salad (2/5; mixed artisanal greens | brûléed bucheron cheese | radicchio | toasted French walnuts | red grapes | fig balsamic vinaigrette): I felt like something was lacking from this seasonal autumn salad. It's OK for me, as I mostly ate the bucheron cheese with the grapes and walnuts. 3. Filet Mignon (4/5; seared | maître d'hôtel butter | red wine jus | truffle potato purée | asparagus (additions: sauce Choron, seared foie gras, Maine lobster tail, local exotic Petrichor mushrooms): It was cooked perfectly. This is a staple in the menu. I did not add any of the additionals. The service was great. Our water and drinks did not touch the bottom. The server came around often to check in and give his recommendations. If you want to do order pick up, it is available Tuesday-Saturday between 5 - 8 PM. Would I come back? Yes. I want to try other items on the menu.

We've celebrated multiple birthdays there with groups of 20-25 women, and they always make the experience feel effortless. While many Tampa restaurants require deposits, minimum spends, or limited menus for large parties, Oak & Ola simply welcomes us with open arms and genuinely seems happy to have us there. The service is consistently impeccable, the food is both beautiful and absolutely delicious, and the restaurant itself offers a gorgeous atmosphere with stunning waterfront views. It's clear that every detail matters to them. They reserve a special table for gifts, have even printed custom "Happy Birthday" menus for us, and on our most recent visit, Chef Margaret came out personally to wish the birthday girl a happy birthday. Our servers were phenomenal. They anticipated every need, kept everything running smoothly for such a large group, and never missed a beat. Coordinating a party our size is no small task, yet they made it look easy while making every single person feel cared for. If you're looking for a restaurant with exceptional food, outstanding service, and a team that truly knows how to make guests feel special, Oak & Ola is one of the very best in Tampa. We can't wait for our next celebration there!
