Description: Since 1986, Mise en Place has developed into Tampa’s premier restaurant for modern American cuisine with an exciting and dynamic menu with 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 is reflected in the spirit of the staff and the level of personal care in the 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.

Simply put, the best place for sophisticated dining in Tampa. That is all you need to know. This is not a "steak place." It is where you want to go if you want fine dining.

I ate recently at this fine dining establishment. The food was excellent as was the atmosphere. If it was for the couple who could not control their baby next to us, I would have given it an excellent rating. Luckily, after 10 minutes, they left. We sat in the lounge area, the bartender took wonderful care of us. She was... More

We have not been to Mis en Place for a few years. So, since we were in Tampa for business we had to return. The things we liked over the years were still there. Fantastic service, and I mean fantastic, great wine list, and a menu that we could have had one of everything. Food wise, somewhat of a disappointment.... More

Staff very good from hostess to servers. The food is well prepared and, mostly, very good. I am wavering between average and very good rating, but have to stick with average. The menu is very complex, so give yourself time to read it. You can tell that the chef is being inventive, but many of the descriptions of a menu... More

The bar was a great place to start for our group as the two at the helm last Sat. night were excellent. 'First Plates' well received included Sous Vide Lobster and the House -cured Charcuterie plate.

It's a great welcoming spot with subtle glamour that just draws you in. The cocktails are amazing and they will make anything you as for. As far as the three course dinner goes, everything on that menu is wonderful. My favorite is the beef tenderloin. Service is great too!

After living on Restaurant Row in Park Slope Brooklyn for many years, I was pretty startled to step into the 1970s dining scene of Tampa Bay. But I have to say that Mise en Place would fit in well among the eclectic, Michelin starred restaurants back home. While the menu is a bit precious and some of the deconstruction dishes... More
