Our Restaurant

Oak & Ola is a comfortable place with timeless design. A place to gather where food and libations are thoughtfully sourced, hand crafted, and changed seasonally. Join us as we share and explore flavors and experiences, at the table which makes us all one. 

“Food of Love”, Chef Anne Kearney’s motto, says it all, keeping the chef and her staff ever mindful of their mission to create culinary excellence in every dish that is placed before a guest.

She earned her toque at the Greater Cincinnati Culinary Arts Academy. After many years as an acclaimed restauranteur with numerous honors, Kearney rose to national recognition. In 2002, she was the winning recipient of James Beard Foundation, "Southeast Regional Best Chef”. Kearney's food is an American interpretation of Provençal bistro fare.

In 2018 Anne came together with John & Trudy Cooper, Chris Arreola, and Andy Ganger to bring a new concept, Oak & Ola, to Tampa, FL. The restaurant is built around “Classics Revisiting”, and ultimately, the cuisine which reflects her motto wherever she is cooking: “Food of Love”.
