Mise en Place is Tampa’s premier restaurant for Modern American cuisine, an exciting and dynamic fare whose flavors reflect the Chef’s insatiable love of food as well as our region and our global community on the West Coast of Florida. The passion of independent proprietors is reflected in the spirit of the staff and the quality of the level of personal care in the dining experience.

Located at the ‘point’ of Grand Central Place, it was built in the 1920s as the Lafayette Bank. We restored this space, preserving its elegant natural architecture, to create a gorgeous setting for a party. The Lafayette Room is available for receptions, cocktail parties, lunches, dinners and meetings. When reserving this room, you can enjoy the fabulous food and service of the restaurant, but the privacy and attention to detail as if you were our only guests.

Overlooking the University of Tampa and its landmark minarets, is our Minaret Room. A completely private space with French doors and windows looking into the spacious main restaurant, this is the ideal room for your luncheon, dinner for up to thirty, or small standing cocktail party. As with all of our reservations, you receive full restaurant services and the fine cuisine of Chef Blitz and crew.

The whole reason we designed our restaurant with a variety of dining spaces, was so you could enjoy a room to yourself. Seated dinners and cocktail parties can be created in one of the main restaurant’s stylish semi-private rooms or the swanky cocktail lounge. If your party is grand enough – you may want to book the whole restaurant!
