Overview

Blue Pointe Bar and Grill in Tequesta has been emergency-closed twice, both for fly activity in May and July 2021. The facility has accumulated 179 violations across 39 inspections since 2016, averaging 4.6 violations per inspection — slightly below the statewide average of 5.2. However, the establishment faces a severe pattern of recurring high-priority violations: management awareness, employee health reporting, and proper hand washing violations have been cited in nearly every inspection over the past two years, indicating systemic failures in food safety management and employee hygiene practices. Four disciplinary actions totaling $1,800 in fines have been issued. The most recent three inspections—on June 27, October 1, and October 30, 2025—each resulted in administrative complaint recommendations, with the October 30 complaint inspection documenting 6 high-priority violations including management awareness, hand washing, and employee health reporting. This escalating enforcement activity reflects ongoing non-compliance with core food safety practices.

Most recent closure: July 29, 2021 for fly activity.
