Score
Bolay has been inspected nine times since 2022. The most recent visit was on Feb 11, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near four violations each time.
“Unwashed fruits/vegetables stored with ready-to-eat food” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Boca Raton restaurants. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
