Ripfire Siesta Key LLC in Sarasota
Last inspected:
5218 Ocean Blvd, Sarasota, FL 34242Ripfire Siesta Key, a 50-seat permanent food service establishment in Sarasota, has accumulated 54 violations across 16 inspections since 2016, averaging 3.4 violations per inspection—slightly below the statewide average of 5.2 but with a troubling pattern of recurring high-priority findings. Consumer advisory violations (improper disclosure of undercooked foods) appeared in 6 of the most recent 4 inspections, indicating a persistent issue with menu labeling or staff communication about raw or undercooked menu items. High-priority violations for proper cooking temperatures, employee health policy, management awareness, and food contact surfaces have cycled through multiple inspections, suggesting systemic gaps in temperature monitoring and staff training. The facility has not experienced an emergency closure. Two inspections resulted in administrative complaints being recommended (March 2025 and February 2024), signaling formal enforcement escalation beyond routine findings. The most recent inspection on December 22, 2025 documented 9 violations including consumer advisory issues and was completed with no further action, though the persistence of similar violations across recent inspections suggests ongoing compliance challenges.
