Oak & Ola Tampa Reviews from The Last Year
Disappointing
We know Armature Works well having had a home in Florida since 2005. We live in the UK. My wife is American. We originally booked for 5.30pm after going boating on the adjacent river. That might have been better as we changed to 2.30pm not realising that the restaurant closed at 3pm. We had decided to have a long late lunch and thought the Michelin guide reviews suggested this was a good choice for quality food and wine. We sat outside and our server was Christopher. He was charming, informative and efficient..no complaints at all. I had a lovely glass of albarino and my wife had a pinot noir - the Calling at $20. My albarino was excellent, her red not so much. ( She used to be in the wine business and a wine master). I had a second albarino and she had a nebbiola which was great. We ordered the charred brussel sprouts to share. Sadly about 80% were not cooked and so hard we could not cut them. The few edible ones tasted great. I love al dente vegetables but this was just uncooked. Probably our fault for eating at 2.30pm as it looked like a pile of left over sprouts warmed up. Christopher was apologetic and took them off the bill. My wife then ordered the BLT which she loved but, as I suggested to her, it's difficult not to have a delicious BLT. I should have played safe and had a burger but chose the blue crab and beet.My benchmark was the beet salad at The Pearl in Channelside which is incredible. Unfortunately the dish was a plate of red beets swimming in olive oil with a desert spoonful of blue crab on top. I immediately realised I needed bread to mop it up and asked if that was possible. Christopher said they had sourdough bread which I love. I only wanted a couple of slices of fresh sourdough but after 10 mins got a well toasted and buttered plate. Altogether a disappointing experience for a restaurant so highly rated. Maybe it was our fault eating a late lunch when the kitchen is serving left overs and want to go on break but we have had amazing late lunches elsewhere. Perhaps I'm just a picky old English guy but I so wanted it to be good. We love eating out and had hoped for a long lunch of memorable food and wine ( which we had at The Pearl and have had at Ulele) but on re-reading the reviews, I suspect this is a fun spot at night for casual eating and good wine not fine dining. I accept that was our mistake.
An absolutely wonderful dining experience
Our first dinner was so memorable, we came back again two days later for dinner here again! First impressions upon walking in are inviting; warm and comfortable lighting and decor. But, the food quality, preparation and superb service is what impressed us the most. We all enjoyed our selections. Side note: their Brussels Sprouts is probably the best we’ve ever had. Also, the bartenders know how to make great drinks. Kudos to waiters Michael and MJ; very helpful and professional. Highly recommend
Family lunch
We knew the chef, Anne Kierney, from her restaurant in Dayton. She is an award winning chef and we wanted to experience her cuisine in Tampa. The food was excellent and the service outstanding. We had lunch and the food was prepared beautifully and cooked to order. Fantastic meal.
Good times at Oak&Ola
We had a fantastic experience at Oak & Ola! For those in search of a restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere, straightforward yet innovative cuisine, and a touch of trendiness, this is the perfect spot. Our server, Philip, provided exceptional service, making us feel as though we were dining in France. We started with the Brussels sprouts and were recommended another appetizer, the 'Tappa,' a delightful pita smothered in Tzatziki and heaped with tender pulled lamb. Both dishes were simply phenomenal. For my main, I chose the octopus, which was so exquisite that even my wife, who usually avoids octopus, couldn't resist taking a third bite. She opted for a pizza that was thoroughly enjoyable, while our son quickly devoured his generously portioned pork chop, ordered medium. I highly recommend Oak & Ola to anyone looking for an enjoyable dining experience, great food, and a chic setting
Lunch with family.
We were in Florida visiting family and decided to try Anne Kierney's new venture. We knew her from her ownership of Rue Domaine in Ohio which was outstanding. This new venture was excellent. I had the grilled octopus and my wife had a delicious lobster roll. The others had a margarita pizza and a BLT. All of the dishes were delicious and the service impeccable.
Crab salad and toffee cake
cancel 2.23 befpre 3pm, or $25 Definitely will return. Very similar with Ulele: high ceiling, industrial, exposed brick walls, open kitchen; good service and pretty good food. Location: by the water Seatings: indoor and out Food: very good Service: very good, well trained We went at 5 when they just opened. When we left at 7, it was packed. We stayed a bit longer bec it was raining, and our concert didn’t start till 8. We could have another toffee cake - it’s that good. But didn’t bec people are waiting. We’ve - charred sour dough bread - good - crab salad: wonderful - meat charcuterie - fine - special - fish amandine - good - special mezzaluna pasta - great - Spanish autopsy - yummy - warm toffee cake - to die for - chocolate tart - average Our server said his name is MJ. A handsome kid, better looking than Michael Jordan … still love you Mike We shared a bottle of Meleto BTL Chianti. Nice stems. They left the cork on the table - Should they put it on a small plate? Big spoon for desserts Ok I’m a dinosaur
Excellent experience
As we share the 3 dishes for two people. A Caesar salad, they added pistachio. An octopus with spinach, beans and chorizo, an excellent combination and our main dish was the meat burger. Thank God they had gluten-free bread
Complete let down
Complete let down. We had 6:15 reservations with specific notes we had a show at the Straz. Had to wait an additional 30 minutes to be seated (only after I went to speak to hostess again) which left us less than an hour to eat. Upon being seated we knew what we wanted and was ready to order something quick. Server understood and was great attitude but then informed us they were out of ALL the flatbreads. Mind you the flatbreads are 1/3 of the menu and only vegetarian options besides a salad. My son ordered the burger, I was forced into the 007 salad or go hungry at our show. I should’ve walked out and walked over to eat at armature. The 007 salad is basically just lettuce, server didn’t notice I only ate 2 bites because he never came back to check on us. Son said burger was good. Cocktail was good. Save your time and go to Ulele - it’s consistently good and never had them run out of food. There is a reason this place had open reservations for Sat night dinner. I will say, servers and staff were working hard. Hostess needs to learn how to triage, manager needs to do a better job ensuring kitchen is stocked for Sat night and not run out of food at 6:30. Management also needs to walk around and ask tables how things are.
Good time
We enjoy the diner at oak & ola. With 5 people ordering different food, they did a good job. Unfortunately , cocktails are very watery and very expensive , not at the level of the food and service We will go back but no cocktails, just beer and wine
Unforgettable! Marvelous!
It was an amazing dinner. Food excelent, service perfect. Thank you for the special attention from Andy, so kind and sweet . Thank you so much for a beautiful night!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
