First Flight Wine Bar

Love this place! Great place to sit and have a glass of wine while waiting for a flight. The appetizers are nothing fancy but they taste great from what I’ve had! Service has always been on point and very helpful with suggestions

Inspired by Mise en Place in Tampa (and amazing local restaurant), this is my «go-​to» lunch and dinner spot in the airport. The menu is short and simple, but everything on it is delicious (I’ve tried everything on it). I do the charcuterie board and cheese selections frequently and the hand tossed salads are a tasty side. The hot panini sandwiches never disappoint either.
Limited wine list, but they have a pretty extensive list by the glass. The service is always friendly and everything is made fresh by hand. A great local choice if you are in the Tampa Airport with some time to kill.

Lousy service, noisy back area service as they dont give a 0 respect for costumers on the bar … Wont repeat this experience

I have been a few times — usually because the hubbys flight is delayed yet again lol … its ok I have all the time in the world.
I have gotten their cheese plate twice now — olives. yukky. if you like blue cheese theirs is fabulous … wine selections are great — I already know by going here I am paying more for wine then say TGIF, but I like the location and their bar stools are comfortable.
:) I’ll be back!

It’s alright.
It’s away from the hustle and bustle and it’s beer and wine only.
Probably the best place to drink (non-​liquor) outside of security.
True, the other options have beers on tap, but the other options also involve dodging luggage and waiters delivering food.
They are mainly into wine and small bites (looked good, didn’t try) but they also had beer.
I had a can of Cigar City IPA.
Bartender was very nice.

We started with the Five o’clock cheese flight and moved on the flights of wine. Great concept for airport bar!

I’m surprised and disappointed that I hadn’t tried the food here before. First Flight by Mise en Place is THE airport’s gourmet wine bar. The menu has a list of wines, cocktails, fancy salads, yummy sandwiches, cheese and charcuterie plates.
It would be much cooler if the location was in a restaurant and less bar styled. There is a big difference between the nearby chain restaurants that have sub par burgers, fries and loaded cheese apps.
I had the crostini — figs, Seranno ham, blue cheese spread and toasted almonds for $ 10. Nom, nom, nom! It was too small to call it a full meal but a good app or snack. The crusted toast was featherweight and crisp. The blue cheese spread was strong and zesty but it wasn’t overbearing. The fig was fresh and the toasted hazelnut was the ‘cherry on top’. Paired with a nice wine would make the small bite crostini a nice treat.

I visit this airport twice a year and I’ve never noticed this bar. it’s right in the middle of everything, so a bit hard to see.
They have a great selection of wines, and also sell beer, cocktails, and food. the servers are very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines.
They offer a good amount of wine flights, and are willing to switch out wines for other wines which is awesome!
Surprisingly the drinks aren’t that expensive for an airport – check it out!

Quick service and a nice selection of wine, beer, cocktails and snacks. Great addition to the airport

You cannot imagine my delight when I stumbled upon this Wine Bar owned by Mise En Place while waiting on my friends to meet me at Tampa International Airport!
I only had time to have a quick glass of the Piper Heidseick, which of course, was delicious!
Amber was very personable and a joy to meet.
The menu offers some great wine flights and charcuterie flights that I will definitely be back to try regardless if I am traveling or not!
Definitely a must stop if your flight is delayed or just need a quick drink!

Flight delay was never so sweet! Delicious wine and a cheese plate with olives, marcona almonds and honeycomb!

New but not that new and oh so good, a super touch of CLASS between Red and Blue. Awesome wine selelction and staff!
