Excellent as always. Thanks ne of our favorite Tampa restaurants for over 30 years. Always a wonderful dining experience

4 stars: Unique dishes and solid flavors Our first night in Tampa, we decided to check this place out based on a recommendation from locals from our golf pairing earlier in the day (thanks, Scott!). The ambiance in here is super cute and upscale - perfect for a date night. Service was fantastic. Attentive, informative, and friendly. They have a menu with lots of different options, as well as multiple appetizer and entree specials described by our server. FOOD: ~Complimentary salmon spread (5/5): This little spread on a crostini was so good. If it was a menu item, I would definitely order it. ~Complimentary bread (3/5): While the flavors were really good, the focaccia and biscuits were on dryer side ~Pulled Duck Butternut Squash Mushroom Ragout (4/5): The flavor of this ragout was so good and was perfect with the grits. The sauce alone was a little too salty at times for me, but it was balanced out with the grits. ~Cobia Crudo (2.5/5): the flavor wasn't necessarily bad, but this dish confused my palate. It felt very muddled with too much going on. ~Buffalo Meatballs (special; 3/5): Meatballs were very soft and juicy, but the dish as a whole was very one note. Nothing spectacular. ~Duck Breast (3.9/5): The flavors of the duck, sauces, onions, potatoes, and cabbage salad were phenomenal. However, the duck looked like it was cooked to the perfect temperature, but was very tough and hard to chew. If the duck was tender, this would easily be a 5/5. ~Molasses Pecan Crusted Rack of Lamb (3.5/5): Again, the meat looked like the perfect temp, but it was just a little tough. The flavors were decent and not too gamey. The vegetables that came with this were undercooked for our liking and the onion ring was soggy. This also came with grits. ~Wild mushrooms side (4/5): no frills. Various different type of mushrooms which gave you different textures within one bite. Lets the mushrooms speak for themselves. My only very minor complaint is that a lot of their dishes comes with grits as their base. While the grits were some of the best I have had, several of the dishes we ordered were accompanied by grits (more so my fault), and so it became increasingly difficult to continue eating since grits are heavier and denser to eat in a large quantity. Overall, this place is solid and worth trying!

This place should be 6 stars, the food is absolutely incredible I can't even begin to describe how delicious it all is. The staff is amazing and so friendly and on top of it. First time coming here and it will not be the last.

For appetizers, we selected the soft shell crab and cobia crudo. The soft shell crabs exhibited a crispy texture, while the sauce subtly complemented the umami flavor of the crab. The cobia crudo's oxtail dashi sauce paired exceptionally well with the flavor of the cobia. Furthermore, the cobia fish tasted remarkably fresh, with firm texture. For our entree, we had cavatelli and filet of beef. The cavatelli pasta tasted like it was home-made and is cooked aldente. The blue crab adds a touch of sweetness, effectively balancing the spices in the sauce. The filet is tender on the inside and has a firm crust. The chef has cooked it to a perfect medium rare, with a robust beef flavor lingering in the aftertaste. The sauce accompanying the filet is well seasoned and subtly complements the flavor of the filet. A dessert is essential to conclude a culinary experience. The lemon ricotta cheesecake is highly recommended. Its exceptional softness and lightness are notable. The blueberry elderflower gel enhances the cheesecake's tartness, resulting in a well-balanced flavor profile. Alternatively, the warm olive oil pistachios palenta cake was adequate. The cake's warmth, sweetness, and subtle olive oil flavor were apparent. Additionally, the cake's softness and moisture were impressive, particularly when paired with vanilla ice cream. On the whole, we really enjoyed the dinner. John was very friendly and knowledgeable about each dish. The ambiance is very romantic and modern. IG: BEEFYFOODIE

First time trying Mise En Place, and definitely will not be the last. We came for a birthday, and the staff was so sweet and attentive. Our waitress even brought out a champagne glass for us to celebrate the birthday. It is well decorated inside, with a very elegant and upscale ambiance. For our appetizers, we ordered the ALEPPO CRUSTED SHRIMP, which were so plump and flavorful, and TRUFFLE PARMESAN FRIES, which were crispy and had plenty of a truffle flavor. For our entrees, we got the MOLASSES PECAN CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB and LOBSTER TAILS. The lamb was very flavorful and tender, though a bit more rare than we are used to. The lobster tails were also wonderful, with a nice smokiness that paired well with the sweet creamy sauce. I personally would have liked it if they were able to place the lobster meat on top of the shell or provide small forks to remove the meat, because it was a bit difficult removing the lobster from its shell. For dessert, we got the TAHITIAN VANILLIA BEAN CRÈME BRULEE, which was good but nothing out of the ordinary. It was an amazing dining experience and we will definitely return. Wonderful place for special occasions or if you're just looking for a nice meal with a beautiful ambiance.

The best birthday dinner EVER! Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. My wife and I went a few days ago and we still talk about how wonderful the food was. Service was great - helpful, friendly, and didn't hover over us while we ate, which we like. Beautiful and elegant ambience. My only qualm is that Mise en Place isn't anywhere close to me. :) I cannot wait to go back!

Had an amazing dinner last weekend while in town. Restaurant is very sleek with an open concept. Service was impeccable. Our waitress was very sweet, gave us time to overlook the menu, helped us make choices and answered any questions we had. We started with the cobia crudo which was plated in a deconstructed manner that was unique. We all had a tough time choosing our entrees because they all sounded so delicious. I ordered the duck breast because it was out of the ordinary and sounded delish! My fiancé got the pecan crusted lamb chops and my bestie order the filet. We were interested in the scallops but no one ordered them so we got them as an appetizer to try. For dessert we shared the guava panna cotta. It was light and refreshing with a granola topping. We all enjoyed the evening and will definitely circle back another time!

Good place to come for an intimate celebration or quiet date night. Ambience was understated, reserved. Quiet luxury vibes. The service was likewise high quality and present, not overbearing or simpering. Husband had two cocktails, the Haiku and a buffalo trace old fashioned. As to the Haiku he just kept saying "it's not bad... just odd." It was served in a small bowl of a dish rather than a cup, like one would sip ramen broth (the dish for which the drink is modeled and inspired). The old fashioned was a solid, good pour, stout without the burn, exactly what you hope for in a smooth bourbon drink. I had the Sober-Roni, and it was delightful. Actually tasted like what I wish all Negronis actually tasted like- I do wish there was a way to add dryness without alcohol but that's an ongoing search, and Mise en Place answered it well; 9/ 10 recommend. First thing, offered an amuse bouche of cold, seared endive. Bitter but well prepared and accompanied by a creamy blue cheese aioli. The combo was pleasant and the blue cheese offset the natural bitterness quite well. Next up, we ordered the Cobia Crudo. I did love this and the flavors were outstanding! The tostones were a little soft rather than crisp but otherwise a great start to the night. I also tried their squash and crab meat bisque. Smelled beautifully of curry and had a rich, spicy flavor that packed all the heat of a seafood bisque with none of the fishy flavor. Probably my favorite dish of the evening. For mains. I selected the venison loin. The meat was the star of this dish and cooked to juicy perfection. The hominy, however, had an unpleasant flavor that I unfortunately could not get past and did not enjoy at all. A complete shame. I thought it might be my palate since I am pregnant and that can change your taste (a weird but true side effect!), however, my husband said it wasn't to his preference either. Bitter and smoky and just a lingering... stale taste after that. I was disappointed but I don't know if it's just my palate being unrefined or if there was something off about the hominy. Either way not the fault of the restaurant, just not for us. My husband ordered the lamb chops with Amish cheddar chili grits and a cayenne buttermilk onion... donut (lol!) and it was fantastic. Those grits were creamy and perfect and the lamb was tender. He was extremely happy with his dish and I was jealous ha. Desserts: guava panna cotta and lemon ricotta cheesecake. Perfection on plates, we ate it all and scraped the plates clean. 10/10. Price tag under $300 for all. Overall it was a wonderful evening and dining experience. I would recommend trying Mise En Place, and we will likely return in the future for intimate evenings although it may be a while given my unfortunate luck with my main dish.

This is a lovely restaurant. We ate here a few years ago and for some reason have not been back until today. So glad we came back. The food is excellent. Be sure to check out my photos. They provide a delicious bread service for the table. We had the fried green tomato salad, the fried zucchini squash blossoms, the mushroom tartine, the burger and the veal chop. The veal was a special and it was in the top 3 veal dishes I have ever had in my life. For dessert we had the olive oil cake with sea salt olive oil ice cream Service was great.
