State inspectors visited 56 Palm Beach Gardens food businesses Oct. 1-30; 40 ended in the clear. A hotel kitchen fixed an emergency order in a day. Every result.
State inspectors visited 56 restaurants, hotel kitchens, clubs and other food businesses in Palm Beach Gardens between Oct. 1 and Oct. 30. At 40 of them, the latest visit ended in the clear.
Nine first visits found no violations of any kind. One hotel kitchen on PGA Boulevard had an emergency order recommended, then passed a callback inspection the next day.
The figures come from the food service inspection file for District 2, which covers Palm Beach County. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s Division of Hotels and Restaurants publishes it. We downloaded it Oct. 31, and it lists inspections through Oct. 30.
Florida does not score or grade restaurants. Each visit records a count of violations and an outcome. The state file sorts businesses by mailing city, so a few places with a Palm Beach Gardens address sit just outside the city limits.
October in numbers
The file holds 65 inspections at 56 establishments with a Palm Beach Gardens address in October:
- 59 were routine inspections.
- Four were prompted by a complaint.
- Two were licensing inspections of new or changed businesses.
On first visits, the inspector recorded no high-priority violation at 18 of 51. First visits recorded a median of three violations of any kind.
Taking each establishment’s most recent result in October:
| Latest result | Establishments |
|---|---|
| Inspection completed, no further action | 30 |
| Callback, complied (one after an emergency order) | 10 |
| Administrative complaint recommended | 8 |
| Warning issued, callback not yet recorded | 5 |
| Callback, administrative complaint recommended | 2 |
| Callback, extension given | 1 |
No violations at all
Nine first visits in October recorded zero violations:
- PGA National Resort and Spa, 400 Avenue of the Champions: the employee cafeteria and the banquet kitchen, both Oct. 8
- Butcher’s Club, 400 Avenue of the Champions, Oct. 8
- Smoke & Maple Gastropub, 12325 Northlake Blvd., Suite 130, licensing inspection Oct. 1
- Five businesses licensed at 4047 Hood Road, all Oct. 20: LaBelle Catering, Jammin’ Patties, Number One Food Services Inc, She Jays Inc and Lasouli Seafood Company
New or changed businesses
Two licensing inspections, the visit a new or changed business gets, both ended with no further action:
- Smoke & Maple Gastropub, 12325 Northlake Blvd., Suite 130, Oct. 1, no violations
- Ritz Restaurant, 2200 PGA Blvd., Oct. 27, four violations, none of them high priority
The emergency order
An inspector visited the DoubleTree Palm Beach Gardens hotel, 4431 PGA Blvd., on a routine inspection Oct. 23. The state recorded seven violations, four of them high priority, and the outcome “emergency order recommended.”
An emergency order closes a business or suspends its license until an inspection finds the violations corrected. An inspector returned Oct. 24 and recorded “emergency order callback complied,” with no violations.
Fixed on the callback
These places had a warning or a recommended complaint on an October visit, and a return visit found the problems corrected:

“Recommended” means the inspector recommended it. Any penalty comes later through the division’s own process, and the business can contest it. A warning means the inspector set a deadline to fix the violations and will return.
Every business named here can give its side. If one does, we will add its response.
What it means for you
An inspection records what one inspector found on one visit. It is not a rating of the food, and a business with an open result may already have fixed the problem.
- Look up any restaurant’s full report, including what each violation was, on the state’s public records page or the MyFloridaLicense.com license search.
- Report a food safety problem through the Division of Hotels and Restaurants or by calling 850-487-1395.
