“I absolutely love Capital Grille and this is my third time coming in for the Waygu and wine this year! This time I brought four friends. No wait because of reservation. Service is great and the food is delicious! Henry the manager always treats everyone special.“

“Tonight’s dinner at the newly reopened Mise En Place reminded me why I love dining experiences that go beyond food. I arrived early to meet friends and was invited to sit at the bar—something I usually dread since I don’t drink. The bartender approached, and I asked for something non-alcoholic. He suggested a non-alcoholic beer (not my thing), and then I mentioned ginger beer. His eyes lit up—he had one he hadn’t tried before: Bundaberg. What could’ve been an awkward wait turned into this fun, unexpected exchange as we both discovered the drink together. It came in a vintage-style bottle, and he treated it like it was the most interesting cocktail he’d ever poured. That kind of thoughtful hospitality changes everything. When my group arrived, the meal was incredible—rich flavors, creative pairings, and descriptions that made every dish sound like art. The food was phenomenal, but the way the evening felt was even better. As I left, the bartender smiled and said, “I found a case of that Bundaberg in the back—it’ll be here when you come back.” That moment captured the heart of Mise En Place: attention to detail, genuine connection, and simple moments turned extraordinary.“

“Chef Marcelo was outstanding and make sure that every detail was made extra special for us!
What an incredible experience! Chef Marcelo delivered an unforgettable omakase journey, combining exceptional flavors, beautiful presentation, and remarkable attention to detail. Every course was thoughtfully crafted, showcasing his passion, creativity, and mastery of Japanese cuisine.

The quality of the ingredients, the perfect balance of flavors, and the intimate atmosphere made the entire evening truly amazing .

Chef Marcelo is incredibly talented, and his passion shines through every dish. A must-try experience for anyone who appreciates outstanding sushi and fine dining. Highly recommended!“

“This is a small restaurant which forms part of the Hillsborough Community College culinary and service schools. I had a great overall experience including both food and service. It is only open during specific times and you need to reserve well in advance as they have a limited number of tables.“

“Excellent recommendations by our server Quest. Incredible cocktails, delicious octopus, and a ribeye that Berns wishes it could replicate. 5 out of 5, will be back again“
