Salt 7 has been inspected seven times since 2022. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2025. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near five violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “carbon dioxide/helium tanks not adequately secured” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
Compared to other Delray Beach restaurants (averaging 71), there's room to close the gap. Diners may want to weigh the inspection history when deciding to visit.
