There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “no proof provided that food employees are informed”, showing up four times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Punta Gorda restaurants. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
