Default Awesome place

I was there Saturday evening as well and it was great. I chime in and bash the Woodshed a lot on this site and I have opposite feelings for Mis en Place, it is superb - especially considering where it is. To make money in the restaurant business in the lakes region you don't have to be that good - like Garwoods, Woodshed, etc. At Mis en Place they clearly take a lot a of pride in their food and are not out to just make a buck. These guys are true food enthusiasts. I ordered the most expensive red on the menu, a $69 syrah (really not that expensive at all) and it was super. There were four of us and we had a lot of drinks, appetizers, brandy and dessert and the total bill was $290 (pre-tip) - that's pretty darn cheap!! I will call there first everytime over any other restaurant - but it's tough to get a reservation in the summer though so call way ahead.
