Score
Across the available record, Gastronomix has six inspections on file, the first dated 2024. Inspectors last stopped by on Jul 1, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around three violations, down from roughly 11 violations earlier in the record.
“Nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.
Gastronomix's latest score of 61 falls below the Largo average of 75. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
