Bonefish Grill in Sarasota has accumulated 124 violations across 19 inspections since 2022, averaging 6.5 violations per inspection—notably higher than the Florida statewide average of 5.2. High-priority violations have been consistently cited, particularly employee health reporting (documented in 6 of the last 8 inspections), handwashing and hand/arm washing procedures (5 inspections), approved food sources (6 inspections), and food contact surface sanitation (7 inspections). Time as a control measure for potentially hazardous foods has been flagged as a recurring high-priority issue in at least 3 recent inspections. A formal warning was issued on August 1, 2024, following an inspection that documented 8 violations including high-priority findings for management awareness, employee health reporting, approved food sources, food contact surfaces, proper cooking temperatures, and allergen awareness; the facility subsequently complied with a callback inspection two days later. The facility has no emergency closure history. The most recent inspection on September 25, 2025, documented 16 violations (4 high-priority, 2 intermediate, 3 basic) and was completed with no further action, though the high violation count and repeated employee health and handwashing citations suggest ongoing compliance challenges in staff training and food handling practices.
