Score
Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On Oct 31, 2023, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Note that Lj's Lounge's inspection history hasn't been updated since Oct 31, 2023; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “carbon dioxide/helium tanks not adequately secured”, showing up two times.

Compared to other Fort Myers restaurants (averaging 80), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
