MARTIN COUNTY − Florida’s restaurant owners are not required to post restaurant inspection results where guests can see them. So every few weeks, we provide that information for you.
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 conducted on any given day may not be representative of the overall, long-term conditions at the establishment.
In the last 30 days, 92 eateries passed inspection at the first visit. Thirteen restaurants did not pass the first inspection. Four restaurants had zero violations.
