What you’ll see here

•Imported DBPR observations appear directly inside inspection entries when available.
•When note coverage is missing, the official violation record still stays visible.

⚠️

DBPR ordered this restaurant shut on February 23, 2026

The restaurant was allowed to reopen on March 10, 2026 after passing a callback inspection (Call Back - Complied). Recent compliance can pull the overall score up quickly because the InspectFL Health Score weighs callbacks heavily.
