About The Score
How this score works
Based on 4 routine inspections in the past 2 years. Each routine visit starts at 100, minus 8 points per high-priority finding, 3 per intermediate, and 1 per basic. We average visits at full weight through 180 days, half weight at 181–365 days, and quarter weight at 366–730 days. Follow-ups and other non-routine visits are shown separately, without score bonuses or extra penalties. This is our summary—not a Florida DBPR grade or a statement of current conditions.

MarcoIslandFL.com is an independent website. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Collier County, the City of Marco Island, or this restaurant.
We organize and relay publicly available DBPR records for convenience. Records may be delayed, incomplete, corrected, or affected by source-data or processing errors. Inspection reports are snapshots of conditions at the time of inspection; they do not guarantee present conditions or future safety. MarcoIslandFL inspection scores are our own summaries and are not official state grades, legal findings, endorsements, or recommendations. Data shown through October 8, 2026.
