Chef Marty Blitz's Ybor City restaurant has been one of Tampa's defining fine-dining destinations since 1986 — nearly four decades of chef-driven modern American cooking, multiple James Beard House appearances, and the kind of consistent execution that's made Mise en Place a Tampa wedding-anniversary-and-business-dinner anchor. Less buzzy than Tampa's newer Michelin destinations, more about the institutional gravity of one chef's vision sustained for nearly 40 years. For Tampa's most enduring chef-restaurant partnership.
