The state ordered this kitchen closed. No return visit has cleared it to reopen, so it may not be trading.
This licence isn't in DBPR's current active file, which usually means the business has closed, been sold, or let the licence lapse. Everything below belongs to this licence, not to whoever may be trading here now. The history stays public because it is a public record.
5 inspections, swinging between A and F. Consistency is the problem here, not any single visit.
