Score
Medium Risk

Going back to 2022, Oysters Restaurant has 15 inspections in the public record. On Apr 23, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.

Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around four violations across recent inspections versus roughly 12 violations before.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “unnecessary items/unused equipment on the premises in the rear”, showing up 12 times.

Compared to other Crystal River restaurants (averaging 90), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
