Martin County restaurant inspections: 4 eateries did not pass first inspection in November

Florida’s restaurant owners are not required to post restaurant inspection results where guests can see them. So every few weeks, TCPalm provides that information for readers.

Each inspection report is a “snapshot” of conditions present at the time of the inspection. On any given day, an establishment may have fewer or more violations than noted in its most recent inspection. An inspection may not be representative of the overall, long-term conditions at the establishment.

In the last 30 days, 17 passed inspection at the first visit. Four restaurants did not pass the first inspection at first visit. There were no restaurants noted without violations.

Here’s the breakdown of the most recent Martin County restaurant inspections:
