That said, the service left something to be desired. There appeared to be only one waiter/bartender managing the entire space, which likely explains why he seemed overwhelmed and not particularly welcoming. He took my order without much interaction, and the overall experience felt a bit lacking. I kept my order light and went with the fries and garlic sauce, but the sauce leaned more sweet than savory, which wasn't quite to my taste. I paired it with a glass of Cabernet, which I did enjoy.

We started the evening with drinks and appetizers. There was a nice variety of cocktails, and we especially enjoyed the jerk chicken egg rolls. They were served with a side of fresh pineapple, which was a delicious and unexpected touch. For my entrée, I ordered the jerk chicken tacos, while others in our group had the steak frites and the mac and cheese. Everyone really enjoyed their meals, and the food was well prepared. Even as the restaurant became busier throughout the evening, the staff remained attentive and provided excellent service. Overall, M. Bird was a great choice for our corporate dinner, and I'd happily return for both the food and the rooftop atmosphere.

A cute little rooftop bar with the entrance hidden away in the Bulla Gastrobar Restaurant. It's got…read moresomewhat of a view of Tampa and has relaxed, low-set tables to lounge on while you sip and chat. Can get relatively busy after the 5pm workday, but I do like how they offer happy hour. I ended up getting the Sangria Blanca and the Bougie Palmer this time around. The sangria was light and refreshing, not overly sweet like how other white wine sangrias can be. I like how they added berries in it to add a decorative touch. The palmer was well-balanced and more citrus-y than it was fruity. Also pretty refreshing for a hot day. I've noticed in general that most of the drinks here are mixed well; they don't err on being too sweet or too strong, just well-balanced with the flavors not trying hard to dominate one another in the drinks.

One of my favorite things was that the price included unlimited tea and food selections. We could order as many of the fare as we wanted and try every tea that caught our eye without feeling rushed or limited. Our waitress, Ellie, was phenomenal. She was engaging, knowledgeable, fun, and genuinely elevated the entire experience. It was a gorgeous summer day in Florida, and while we skipped the outdoor seating (because any true Tampanian knows better than to sit outside in the middle of July ), our table inside still had incredible views. Everything was beautifully presented, the tea was delicious, and the atmosphere was just as impressive as the food. I highly recommend The Beacon and can't wait to go back.

The view is definitely the star of the show and both outside and inside have such artistic seating areas and perfect photo opportunities, we would come back for some pics and one drink but anything else doesn't seem worth it to us.

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!
