What the violations mean
Violation categories, explained
Every violation on this record falls into one of the state's standardized categories. Here is what each category covers and why inspectors check for it — in plain English, with the trailing-year count for this kitchen.
Restaurants must buy food from licensed, inspected suppliers, keep it wholesome, and hold on to shellfish harvest tags that trace oysters and clams back to the waters they came from. Sourcing matters because food from outside the approved chain skips every safety control that normally happens before it reaches the kitchen.
On this record, the category appears in 1 of the 5 trailing-year inspections. The written details for each entry are in the state inspection documents linked above.
† Item numbers refer to the State of Florida’s standardized inspection form; the same item recurring across visits indicates an unresolved problem. Severity groupings and the sanitation score are explained in How it works.
