There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Accumulation of black/green mold-like substance” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.
Compared to other Ponte Vedra Beach restaurants (averaging 75), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
