Omgosh! The food is amazing in an airport restaurant! The service was great. I had a quesadilla and it was one of the best I have ever had

Great food, very friendly service and quick, very attentive. We had the beef burger, and the Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Both came out very fresh, were very tasty and well seasoned, really fantastic. Illyana, our server, was incredibly nice and attentive! Ask for her.

Nice little place to drop by if you're ever in the airport! Sat there pretty much the whole time until my plane was about to leave and it was the perfect place to catch up on work, have a cup of coffee, and have a bite if you need to. Got a sandwich for a quick bite here with truffle fries and it was okay. The food did take a bit to come but I wasn't in a rush at all so I was fine with waiting. But loved the coffee, and the service was great!

The host wasn't good at making us feel welcomed at this restaurant. We also had to ask for a booth to be more comfortable, and we were worried about this place being "too nice" for us, but that quickly changed with how nice our server and other staff were with us. The atmosphere is nice. Quiet and away from crowds. Our lunch was delicious! The best club sandwich and side salads that I've had. With fresh products and perfectly made; adding to this the wonderful hospitality of our server Annan (lady with short gray hair and glasses). A great lunch at TPA!

Was looking for lunch in the few hours I had in between flights and Cafe by Mise was the most appealing option in Terminal F. The restaurant is big and spacious with big booths, individual tables and bar seating to accommodate any party size. I was greeted by my server immediately after being seated. There are sandwich, salad and larger entree options but I decided on the Cuban sandwich. Not the best one I've had but it was decent. Service was quick and attentive. It wasn't too busy on a Monday mid-morning but I can see this place getting full.
