Score

Medium Risk

Inspectors have visited Lover's Rock Cafe three times, with records going back to 2023. On Apr 24, 2024, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. The file hasn't been updated since Apr 24, 2024, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around eight violations to closer to four violations per visit over the last few inspections.

“Wall soiled with accumulated grease, food debris, and/or dust” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.

Among Clewiston restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
