Score
Rainbow Island appears in inspection records 10 times, starting in 2022. On Jan 27, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. 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 seven violations earlier in the record.
Looking across the full record, “ceiling not smooth” is the recurring theme, flagged five times.
That's lower than the typical Bradenton restaurant, which scores around 83. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
