Score
Delfinos appears in inspection records nine times, starting in 2022. Delfinos was last inspected 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 five violations each time.
Across the inspection history, “accumulation of black/green mold-like substance” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded four times.
That's lower than the typical Palm Coast restaurant, which scores around 79. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
