Oak and Ola earns rave reviews from Tampa diners

Led by renowned chef Anne Kearny, Oak and Ola’s menu focuses on wood-fired cooking with inspiration drawn from across Europe. For example, the roasted octopus combines Iberian flavors with chorizo, white beans, and kale. A German-inspired dish features bregenwurst with caraway-pickled cabbage and apple chutney. The yellowtail snapper with amandine sauce offers a nod to New Orleans, where Kearny made a name for herself.
