    We had their Oktoberfest platter. It was amazing. Excellent service.
    Captain Adam R.

    Food and service were amazing. We stayed there for about three hours, drank the German beer, and ate a fantastic meal you guys have to support this local business

    Goulash - so comforting
    Izzi D.

    5/17/26 I had one of the most comforting meals I've had in a long time at Monika's European Kitchen: goulash, chicken paprikas, spaetzle, cucumber salad, and freshly baked rye bread. It reminded me of dining with my maternal grandmother and great grandmother. I definitely will be going back, despite the distance, and working my way through this German-Hungarian menu. ** Wheelchair accessible

    This is a delightful family owned business. It has seating for about 28 people total. We arrived at about 430 pm on a Sunday, so between the lunch and supper rush. There was one waiter and I believe one cook in the back for this time of day. This is not meant to be a fast food restaurant, instead, it is a place to relax, unwind and enjoy time between courses. The food was delicious! It is about an hour from our home, but only about 20 minutes from either Ruth Eckerd Hall or the Mahaffey and close to US 19 in Largo, so I am sure we will return when we are in the area; it is worth the drive.

    Vegan Butternut Squash with garlic, dried cranberries, and almonds
    Jenny Z.

    Monika is a cozy restaurant tucked away in Largo. The interior walls are wooden, and it makes you feel like you're in a cabin! We were a group of 9 who made a reservation ahead of time. They combined some tables to accommodate us. Two friends are vegan and the chef was kind enough to create a butternut squash dish for them to enjoy! I had a warm goulash on a cold Florida winter day. It was very hearty and filling. I also had some of my fiancé's schnitzel with gravy. The gravy was delicious and complemented the dish well. I also dipped French fries in it. So delicious! My friends and I enjoyed gathering at Monika's European Kitchen.

    Soup in kettle over fire with all the fixings yes please!!ate half of the sausage and pretzel app too fast sorry

    Amazing! European, cozy atmosphere specializing in German and Hungarian cuisine. The service and attention to detail (white tablecloth) as well as the food blew us away. We've all been waiting for a place like this since the German Bistro closed. The soups are like nothing you have ever experienced and the schnitzels are as good at it gets any where even in Germany and Austria! (Been to both multiple times) Fairy limited menu that's entitled "opening menu" so hoping they expand in the future! Hoping they offer potato pancakes and open for lunch in the future!!

    Goulash and sausage soup.
    Andrew R.

    Excellent Goulash and Stuffed Cabbage rolls. Very authentic Hungarian cuisine. Service was courteous and informative.

    Latte!
    Rhonda L.

    Such a delightful experience! We tried a little bit of everything on this unique menu. Pretzel, flight, schnitzel and dessert with a latte! Service by Rolland was fast and friendly! Food as delicious! Nice quiet atmosphere.

    Strawberry soda

    The strawberry soda was amazing!! The schnitzel was very good and so was the spatzel. I don't like mushrooms so I made the mistake of ordering the brown gravy which didn't go well with the chicken schnitzel but I ended up eating it plain because it was so good it didn't even need gravy. Finally, the apple strudel was so light and fluffy and the service was great! We can't wait to go back!! Oh and my husband's Hungarian stew and potatoes were divine.

    Hunter's schnitzel

    Cozy atmosphere with amazing food. Great beer & wine selection. The service was fantastic as well.

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

    Delicious food with a lively atmosphere and welcoming staff - what more could you ask for?…read more I visited Oak and Ola for a birthday dinner and had an amazing time. Rather than trying to search for parking, we just paid $20 for the lot right nearby and it worked out great for us. We had a large group and our waiter, Zachary, was amazing. He had plenty of recommendations, anecdotes, stories, and jokes to keep everyone happy and full. He was definitely a highlight for all of us. We had a variety of drinks, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them. I had the Sacred Empress and was so impressed with the balance of flavors - mostly sweet with a slight punch from the serrano cilantro simple syrup. It sounds funky but trust me on this! We also split a bottle of the Lagar De Costa Albariño, at the recommendation of our waiter, and we all loved it. For food, we started with the Lobster Ravioli, Truffle Frites, Crispy Pork Belly Bites, Crunch Love Caesar Salad, and Olives. All were devoured and I think the crowd favorites were the Lobster Ravioli (though expensive, $26 for 3) and the Pork Belly Bites. For mains, most people tended to get either the Steak Frites or the Gulf Fish Amandine (which was snapper). My steak and another at the table were both way overcooked on the first go around but they very quickly remade them (and the fries) and got them back to us in 5 minutes, perfectly cooked. It was a delicious and filling dish. The Gulf Fish Amandine was also really tasty, but it felt like it was missing something like a starch. It's a very simple and classic dish. The Pork Chop was also well loved amongst the table and many people wished they got it after trying a bite! For dessert, you absolutely have to get the Toffee Cake - it was everyone's favorite dessert. Super soft, warm, and comforting, plus that vanilla ice cream just took it to another level. We also enjoyed the Chocolate Mousse, and the free birthday dessert they kindly brought out for us. Overall, the restaurant is fun and lively, with an eclectic feel in the mismatched dining sets and decor. I really loved how it felt. It's definitely a nicer spot for a date or celebration, but worth it!

Ambiance was, it was a BEAUTIFUL, clean and very well maintained restaurant, including the rest rooms. Service was just as outstanding as the physical facility. EVERYONE we encountered was friendly, professional and said Hi! Unfortunately, their food was as 'on point' as the rest of the experience. We ordered the 'Roast Beef Sandwich' and the 'Avocado Shrimp Toast'. Ok, I'll start with the Roast Beef Sammy-Thick Cold Bread, not room temp, not toasted, but thick cold bread (of which I ate about 1/4 of it. Now the Roast Beef, cold (not a problem) but sliced just too thick so when I took a bite, I could not chew through it and the entire slab of slices pulled out of the sandwich and gave me a 'Chin Slap'! The Au Jus was spectacular! Literally French Onion Soup without the crouton or cheese. Overall, NOT a sandwich worth $18. The other meal was their'Avocado Shrimp Toast', ANOTHER HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT, ESPECIALLY for $18!! 2 small pieces of cold toasted bread, a THIN layer of avocado and ONE SHRIMP CUT IN 1/2 on each slice of bread. NOT A VALUE for $18. What made it worse was that my wife was NEVER offered or received a coffee refill. They DID constantly refill our waters and my Iced Tea. Service 4 Ambiance 5 Food 2 Overall 3

We started with the Potato Vareniki which are Ukrainian homemade pierogis, filled with potato & dill then topped with caramelized onions. Very similar to Chinese dumplings in texture. Served with sour cream and trust me it makes a difference to eat it with the condiment. I ordered the Duck At Dusk and it was absolutely delightful. Cooked medium rare, the pan-seared duck breast was tender, juicy and full of flavor. The pieces were small but the skin to fat to lean meat ratio was great. The presentation was beautiful with the pearl onions and tri-color carrots on top of mango-apricot gel, cilantro oil, date jus. My husband ordered the Sample Platter which includes sample-sized Beef Stroganoff (sirloin tip steak, onions and white mushrooms, served over egg noodles), Lamb Plov (jasmine rice, Australian lamb, carrots, onion, barberries, cumin), Chicken Kyiv (breaded boneless chicken breast, filled with mozzarella cheese, butter and herbs) & Golubtzy (cabbage leaves wrapped around ground beef and rice filling). Our favorite was the Golubtzy for the unique flavors and the nice consistency of the wraps. The mashed potatoes in the center was also fluffy and delicious. The parking can be a bit tricky but there's extra parking in the back. The service is friendly and informative but you may have to flag them down to place orders and get your check. Great place for a date night or group meal to share the dishes.
