Floating Sea Cafe in Jacksonville
Last inspected:
8661 Old Kings Rd S, Jacksonville, FL 32217Floating Sea Cafe in Jacksonville has a deteriorating compliance record marked by a critical escalation in the most recent inspection. The facility received 15 violations on February 17, 2026, including multiple high-priority violations for hand washing and management awareness failures — a sharp increase from prior years. Hand washing violations were cited in at least 4 separate instances during that inspection, indicating systemic failures in employee hygiene practices. Management awareness violations appeared in 3 instances, suggesting lapses in oversight and corrective action. An administrative complaint was recommended following a July 2024 complaint inspection that found a high-priority employee health policy violation, and a warning was issued after the February 2026 inspection. Across 7 inspections since October 2021, the facility averaged 2.4 violations per inspection, below the Florida statewide average of 5.2, but this overall figure masks a sharp recent deterioration — the facility has gone from clean inspections in 2023 to the highest violation count on record in 2026.
