Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent report on file is from Feb 15, 2023. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Public records show no inspections at Bistro 98 since Feb 15, 2023, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around four violations, down from roughly 11 violations earlier in the record.

Looking across the full record, “raw/undercooked animal food offered” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

Compared to other Gulf Breeze restaurants (averaging 94), there's room to close the gap. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
