    Wow! This eloquent restaurant impresses as soon as you walk into the door and it doesn't stop till the last bite of a perfectly crafted dessert. The duck breast just melts in your mouth and the buttermilk Blue Crab appetizer was so unique in presentation as well as texture. The cocktails are well crafted and refreshing. The bourbon list was fantastic. There is free parking in a garage across the street if you can't find a spot on the street. Service was spectacular and attentive to everything we needed. This is by far one of the hidden gems of the downtown Tampa area. You want fancy and worth the cost of an exquisite fine dining experience? This is your place.

    I saw Mise en Place years ago and my husband made reservations for us to dine there for date night. The experience was incredible! The food was exceptional and was the best food I have ever eaten! The ambience was upscale with very chic and modern decor. All of the waitstaff were beyond attentive with our water glasses never hitting below half. The manager even came by to check on our experience which was thoughtful and lovely. I cannot recommend this restaurant any higher because they hit every mark and beyond. They even offer free parking directly across the street.

    As always we enjoy our time at one of Tampa's elite dinning experiences. Chef Marty never disappoints and the staff is skilled and knowledgeable. We started with the stuffed zucchini blossoms and Korean Shrimp crab pancake. So unique, delightful. We had the Scallops, Cavatelli, Duck and Venison. All excellently prepared and presented.

    Excellent drinks, food, dessert and service as usual. This is a treat that everyone should enjoy. The complexity of the meal construction is the best in Tampa.

    Chef Marty, Maryann and the team hav3 been feeding me Mise en Place for 25 years. Consistently among the best restaurants in Florida. Great food, wine, cocktails and service. Marty was the first local chef to open a gourmet chef:driven market & eatery but it was too early for Tampa. The two have been a positive force for local, small businesses, helping their employees grow their careers into other roles and likely far more positive things to recount here. Highly recommend! Located across the street from University of Tampa.

    This was a lovely dining experience. It has become one of my favorite restaurants in the Tampa Bay area. I got the rack of lamb, which was very good. I would pass on the calamari next time. I tried some of the seafood pasta, and it was good as well. The lemon sauce emulsion for the bread was my favorite thing there! The dessert was very good. The menu prices might be on the higher end, but the quality, ambiance, service, and vibe make it worth trying.

    We went for the first time earlier this year but left a bit disappointed. Presentation, flavor and service were all pretty good but none were outstanding. The lamb was great but the tofu dish was very bland. I felt that it had less of an anniversary dinner vibe and more of a business execs going to dinner vibe. It didn't help matters that they completely overhauled their menu two days before our meal and many of the dishes I was eyeing ahead of time were missing in action. I would give it another try at some point, but not in a hurry.

    Stellar French modern experience, great food and delicate flavor profiles. We had a seasonal soup last winter that was incredible - can’t find a photo but so rich and balanced but outrageous flavor. The crusted rack of lamb and scallops were fantastic also!

    An exquisite establishment with excellent service. Mouth watering appetizing nourishment tasted as though it was made from scratch. Savoring every flaky juicy tender bite even down to the drink made the night even more memorable. I'm looking forward to the next visit.

    We tried about everything on the menu and everything was absolutely amazing! Their menu changes weekly but the lamb stays! I highly recommend it! Service was amazing as well. The environment is very nice and calm we were sitting in the back with an amazing view of the University of Tampa. It was our 8th Year Anniversary and the staff went out of their way to provide champagne and custom desserts for us without even saying anything.

    The experience at Mise En was top notch. From being seated at the back towards the view of the outside, the waiters constantly attending to us and ensuring that we are being serviced. To the exceptional drinks that were served there. I got the steak frites, my friends got the veal chop and let me tell you… they made the wise decision. The steak frites was good the truffle fries were probably the best I’ve ever had but the veal chop was like no other. You have to get it.

    Amazing experience, great ambiance and tasty meals. Pricey but worth it. Loved the fried green tomatoes salad, venison and scallops. The creme Brule was the best I've ever had!

    My husband brought me here for Mother's Day so they had a special Mother's Day menu laid out. We had a three-course meal and it was divine. The braised short rib was my favorite along with the cheesecake. We were trying to take a selfie before we left and this young man said, No I have the perfect spot for you and he took our picture in a beautiful wine room. I loved the decor. I will definitely be returning. Kudos to my hubby for planning this all by himself.

    This place is so fabulous. The menu changes often but the service is always impeccable. My husband and I just went and enjoyed the smoked salmon carpaccio, scallop appetizer, duck and venison. The cocktails are also fantastic! One of the best in Tampa.

    My bf took me on a date and it was so nice. The main entrance was a bit hard to find but that allowed to take a walk around the area. I had the burger and it was delicious, I also had the olive oil cake and it was my favorite part of the whole meal. The place also felt safe as tables where spaced out and everyone was wearing masks. Highly recommend 😋

    My sister and I spent NYE with other friends and staff of Mise en Place. I can not even begin to describe the decadence of the menu from start to finish. The Champagne lovely but the staff...they were so spot on. Chef Marty was greeting guests when he could, Patrick, Dave, everyone made this a truly memorable New Year. We began our 2023 in style.

    Outstanding service, ambiance, and fantastic food presentation. Had the rice noodle bowl, i very disappointed in the overwhelming spicy heat of this dish. The heat was so overwhelming, it overshadowed any spices, and flavor of the food....any other flavors could not come through because of the raw heat. The noodles and other ingredients was cooked perfectly, however the sauce was very watery....not how it is described on the menu as a glaze. If this dish was prepared properly, I employ the Chef to taste a good portion of it. Based on the great reviews, I must have chosen the wrong dish.

    This site is amazing. The food changes frequently, but the service is consistently excellent. We recently went and had smoked salmon carpaccio, a scallop starter, duck, and venison. Also great are the beverages! one of Tampa's top restaurants.

    We had a FANTASTIC meal and dining experience. My boyfriend and I dined at Mise en place for the first time on a Friday evening. The decor and atmosphere was inviting. I highly recommend the fried green tomato salad to start. The mise burger was absolutely delicious, taste wise and presentation. I was not a fan of the bread offerings to start, but appreciate the offerings! Service was on point, we really enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back.

  • 3/5 Andrea T. 9 months ago on Google
    Probably the most disappointing $300 meal we’ve had in Tampa. We used to LOVE Mise En Place but this meal left plenty to be desired. My snapper was very over cooked and my husband (who never leaves food on the plate) ate half his meal. There were ants crawling on the table and me, a dead cockroach next to our table, and the plates were chipped. There is SO much competition for high end dining in Tampa now, I can’t imagine this place stays in business if they don’t pull it together. I will say our server was fantastic, friendly and attentive but not invasive.

    The calamari was the best I ever had. I had scallops and wife had duck - excellent!

  • 5/5 elizabeth d. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow! How do I start.... the establishment was very clean and beautiful! It was a little confusing on which door was the entrance but not terrible difficult (could have been my fault because of where I walked up). Just pay closer attention and you will be fine. The service was absolutely insane! The group of servers tending to our party were very professional but super real! I loved that they took such good care of us and were so helpful to everyone (we were quite needy throughout the evening). This was my first time visiting and was here with a bride and groom for the rehearsal dinner. Great place for a group event! They handled ours very well. The food was amazing, from the appetizers to the dessert, I did not hear anyone complain about the food at all. I must say... the creme brulee was amazing! Definitley looking forward to my next visit!

    This was my first time at mise en place and it did not disappoint. I had the Korean Argentina shrimp crab pancake. It was very tasty but also pretty spicy. The smoked salmon carpaccio was my favorite appetizer. I had the venison for my entree and it was very very good. The grits and kale on the side also paired well with the venison. The s'mores tart dessert was delicious. The marshmallow on top tied the dish together really well. The graham cracker ice cream sounds weird but I think it was pretty good. It tasted exactly like a graham cracker. All in all, as a first experience, it was an amazing time and I would highly recommend going there

    We went to Mise en Place last Wednesday and it was PERFECT. Melissa helped and guided us to a great meal experience. I had the Honey Bee drink (3 drinks, ha) - it was marvelous. Our appetizers were the buttermilk soft shell crab and a chef's special, some sort of crudo. All excellent. My entree was the red snapper and believe me when I say that it was fantastic!! The lemon panna cotta was amazing. Now, the biscuits they offer with bread and butter were OUTSTANDING!!! They are so flaky and delicious. What a great experience. Definitely a keeper. Highly recommend it!

    We were looking for a restaurant to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. After looking at the unique menu for Mise en Place we were excited to try it. The front staff was very welcoming. Tom was our waiter and he was very attentive as were so many others to check in on us. They brought us a sample app compliments of the chef, yummy, and a delicious basket of breads and biscuits ( biscuits were my fav). We had the calamari as a starter, the sauce on this was so good I sopped up the extra with my bread. I ordered the snapper and subbed roasted veggie for rice. My hubby got the filet and subbed the hangar steak accoutrements instead. It was all so very good! Had the creme brûlée for dessert, very nice. One of my fav restaurants ever!
