A word from Mise en Place
Since 1986, Mise en Place has developed into Tampa’s premier restaurant for modern American cuisine with an exciting and dynamic menu and flavors reflecting award-winning Chef-Owner Marty Blitz's insatiable love of food. His cooking style incorporates the regional flavors of our global community on… the West Coast of Florida with his European training in the classics. The passion of independent proprietor Maryann Ferenc reflects in the spirit of the staff and the level of personal care in your dining experience. Mise En Place features an extensive and ever-changing wine list, and Wine Director Dave Madera has an extraordinary capability to pair your meal with a sensational glass of wine, elevating the dining experience. Chef Marty Blitz's passion goes beyond the regular menu items, for he has created a "Get Blitzed Tasting Menu" that incorporates a five course menu paired with wine.

Diner Reviews
  • "Beautiful decor, outstanding service, intriguing menu, excellent food, reasonably priced for the quality. What's not to like?"
    Dined on 3/8/2014
  • "Good food - poor service Our waiter made several mistakes with our order. The food was very good, but, considering the prices, we felt we should not have needed to remind and re- remind him that he had served food which we did not order and reorder food we had ordered! We were charged for food we never received. But at that point just let it go -"
    Dined on 3/7/2014
  • "This was our second time dining at Mise en Place and it did not disappoint. The only minor issue was the noise level due to a very large group having a celebration, that was just a chance happening. I would never decide whether or not to go to a restaurant based on one night of high level noise. I will definitely continue to return!"
    Dined on 3/7/2014
  • "outstanding smaller restaurant with excellent food. It's obvious that the chef takes his time to achieve perfection. The taste combinations were sensational and the wines offered perfect. Overall, this is an experience my wife and I drive down from Atlanta to enjoy."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "We had an amazing dinner and we dined with Alton Brown before his show. We only had an hour and the staff was so accommodating. It was our 17 year wedding anniversary and they brought us champagne without us even ordering it. The food was amazing, the staff was so attentive. It was a real treat!"
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "I came down to tampa to visit family and have been to restaurant several times with them over the past year or so. It is the creativity of the menu that really distinguishes this place. Great choices and unusual ones. Execution is as good as the menu descriptions. Wines were excellent. Deserts, often the Achilles heel of restaurants, were distinctive as well as delicious."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "Great ambience. Good for romantic date or big groups. Service excellent. Food excellent. Small portions but so flavorful you feel completely satiated."

    Dined on 2/26/2014
  • "Mise en Place has always been ahead of the curve in Tampa, serving fresh, innovative combinations. Well past the 20-year mark, they never disappoint."

  • "I expected more based on the reviews and recommendations We went last night for our 25th anniversary dinner. We did note the occasion on our reservation but it was not mentioned or recognized in any way. Our waiter was not very personable but the waitress who was helping him and seemed to take over our table towards the end of our meal (our waiter took over a table of ladies next to us) was very nice . All in all, the food was very good but not great. I think our experience could have been better with more attentive service that didn't feel like we were being rushed through. Our whole $150 dinner was complete in about 30 minutes!"
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "Food was delicious. Chris' recommendations were spot on! Duck breast was amazingly good. Even though we were full, we still managed dessert because everything was so good and it was a perfect end to our evening."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "We had booked a table at Mise en Place for a belated Valentine's day romantic dinner and had asked for a "quiet table." We were seated in the corner of the upper level, which at first glance, felt like it should have been a secluded nook, but the table below us was very boisterious & opinionated - and we ended up being overwhelmed by their conversation. In addition, our server appeared in a rush, speeding through the specials and his "favorites" on the menu without ever taking a breath, and jumping on top of us, trying to anticipate what we were saying before we could finish our thought. As a result, there was often miscommunication. Nevertheless, the food was tasty and creative."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "My reservation for four was absolutely lovely. My only disappointment was that the drinks are very expensive for the amount you are given. When you over pay for a glass of wine you should at least be served a glass of wine. So my advice to friends would be to pre drink before coming to this establishment."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "The ambiance and service was very good at Mise en Place. The food was also good but nothing really stood out to me or the rest of the group. Everything was cooked perfectly and there was honestly nothing bad about the food but with the price I was expecting to be wowed. There was no one thing that I ate that I was absolutely in love with and usually when I go out to a really great restaurant I cannot get the meal out of my head. For instance, I ate at Grille One Sixteen last Friday and I keep reminiscing about how amazing the food was. I would have absolutely no complaints if the prices were just a bit lower."
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "Pouring rain and time to spare before our reservation. We were welcomed in, seated at the bar and served before the bar was even open. Terrific mixology of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, vodka and elderflower liquer and the not easily found Van Gogh Vanilla Vodla which we have come to love on the rocks. Then mapping out dinner became Paralyzing as every description sounded awesome and tingled taste buds. soft shelled crab appetizer was brilliant--as was the hubby's chicken liver pâté . arugula/golden beet salad with crumbled blue cheese. Can' get enough of that. Duck breast followed and the hubs had the tenderest of veal with quinoa and sautéed kale. Yes we shared dessert and rolled home. We will be back often!"
    Dined on 2/12/2014
  • "The tasting menu was by far one of the most fabulous finds in all of Tampa. We paired it with the wines for our special occasion and it could not have been more perfect."
    Dined on 2/11/2014
  • "Shared our twentieth anniversary evening with Mise en Place and were not disappointed: tasting menu and wine delighted one, a main course (venison) and a first (pizza) another. Were treated to champagne as soon as we let on it was our anniversary: thanks. Great evening."
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "Everything is delicious: appetizers, main course, desserts. Great atmosphere. Definitely one of the best top-tier restaurants in Tampa"
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "Mise en place is really one of the best places to eat in the Tampa Bay area. The food is exquisite and consistently outstanding!"
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "Our meal was very nice. We ordered the rack of lamb and the venison and both were amongst the top of our dinning experiences. We travel extensively and would recommend Mise en Place as a must dinning destination. Our server was very helpful and professional."
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "We ordered the "Get Blitzed" Tasting menu - a five-course sampling of the chef''s specialties. This changes all the time; this week it featured lovely things like duck confit and drunken goat cheese and ceviche, all served with wine pairings. This seemed like a great way to experience the restaurant for the first time and also, because it is a prix fixe. Expect to spend a fair amount of money, but you will be rewarded with an enjoyable and very, very tasting evening. The service was bar none excellent - of the psychic sort that was always arriving to take care of what you would in a few minutes have been ready to wish for. Most excellent."
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "I recently had lunch at Mise en Place and I was completely impressed from entrance to exit. The staff was extremely friendly, attentive and helpful. The chef was so caring and thoughtful that he/she split an entre that my guests had intended to share/split at the table. The meal was well presented and delicious. I'm looking forward to having dinner!"
    Dined on 1/23/2014
  • "This was our second visit to Mise en Place with a large group 10+. Some restaurants that offer a pleasant dining experience for 2 or 4 really fall down on the job with a large group. Not so for Mise en Place. The service was attentive, but not overbearing. The food was outstanding--beautifully prepared and presented. The wine list is excellent and the sommelier is very knowledgeable, friendly and energetic."
    Dined on 1/22/2014
  • "Mise is the best restaurant in Tampa and our favorite spot for special occasions. The food is spectacular and the menu exchanges weekly. We gave eaten at Mise dozens of times over the years and never had a bad meal."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "We went here for our 42nd anniversary, why? Because we come to Mise En Place once or twice a year (13 yrs) and have never been disappointed. Everything is first class. My wife is originally from Paris and I from Boston and we can honestly say that Mise En Place is equal to any restaurant we have eaten in those cities. My wife had the rack of lamb and it was perfect. If we could give it 6 stars we would. I had the veal scaloppini and it was so tender. Even the desserts are done with some imagination, though we were disappointed that they dropped the moulton cake with macadamian ice cream from the menu. It was our favorite. The service equaled in perfection the food. It made for a great 42nd anniversary."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "Our first visit to Mise en Place was to celebrate an anniversary, and the restaurant was an absolutely perfect choice! The service was impeccable, with 4 separate staff members providing outstanding care including the general manager giving the restaurant's history, his own take on the menu and guiding us down our first experience with Mise en Place. And the food.... oh the food! Couldn't have asked for a better culinary extravaganza for this night!"
    Dined on 1/17/2014
  • "always enjoy the food at Mise En Place. Took a while to be seated, even with a reservation."
    Dined on 12/14/2013
  • "I was so excited to try this for the first time but left highly disappointed. The portions are very small yet the prices very high. I ordered the duck breast and I could not eat half of it because it was primarily fat. I mentioned this to one of the waiters who didn't even respond to my concerns. I will never go back here."
    Dined on 1/17/2014
  • "Hands down best meal in Tampa, if not Florida. Went for wife's birthday dinner. Felt like we were family, appreciated, and the food was to die for. Go for the lamb, and let the bar pick your wine pairing. Amazing dinner. Can't wait to come back."
    Dined on 1/16/2014
  • "Mise En Place is a lovely restaurant, stylish yet cozy. The wine list is extensive and the service and food are outstanding. On a recent visit, two of us ordered the fish of the day which was hog snapper. It was sautéed with a lemon and white wine finish and served with kale and jasmine rice. It was wonderful. Although quiet and relaxing for lunch, this is a fun place for a special dinner or date night."
    Dined on 1/16/2014
  • "We were extremely impressed by the food, service and overall experience of this gem, would consider it a TOP notch restaurant in Tampa. Our server was excellent, just the right amount of service. Would go back in a heartbeat!!!!"

  • "I had never been to Mis en Place for dinner but was very familiar with Chef Marty's food. We booked for 7 people and were accommodated in a cute area viewing Kennedy Blvd and the University of Tampa. The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. The wait staff was very attentive and Dave Madera, the Wine Director, chose a lovely wine for us when the one we ordered was out of stock. We ordered several of the first plates. The risotto was especially delicious, and the fried green tomato salad never disappoints. We all had different entrees, I had the lamb. The meat itself was overcooked (I had ordered medium-rare and it came out more a medium-well), but the flavor was good. The chocolate ice cream sandwich was great!"
    Dined on 1/2/2014
  • "I could not be any happier. The restaurant was amazing. The service was excellent and our waiter Bill was very knowledgeable about the menu. Everything from beginning to end was amazing, including the creme brûlée which was outstanding. I can't wait to go back."
    Dined on 1/4/2014
  • "This was our third visit to Mise en Place, and we truly enjoyed it. We wanted to have a special meal together between the Christmas and New Year holidays. The meal, atmosphere and service was excellent. The team serving us was attentive and professional. The food was wonderful -- an experience to share."
