90
Score
Chez Marie French Bistrot appears in inspection records nine times, starting in 2022. The most recent visit was on Mar 3, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “walk-in cooler shelves with rust that has pitted the surface” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Boca Raton restaurant scores 74. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
