It seems that many have agreed that the quality of food and service have gone down at Cita's. While most of these comments are "anonymous" so we dont know if its multiple people or the same person, I have to admit that my last 2 visits there were not as great as the first 4. The food was not prepared correctly (undercooked risotto, overcooked tuna and steak) or arrived cold. The service has always been good on my visits though.<BR/><BR/>It looks like Cita's will have to get its act together in order to survive, especially with the way Grove patrons can be picky.

The department cites violations of Florida's sanitation and safety laws, which are based on the standards of U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Code. In general, critical violations are those that, if not corrected, are more likely to contribute directly to food contamination, illness or environmental damage. Although we use the industry-standard term "critical", varying degrees of severity and potential risk to the public require inspectors to assess each situation in determining the appropriate action. In addition, while an establishment may have multiple violations, the inspectors' training and judgment formulate the overall result of the inspection to ensure the public health and safety. While most establishments correct all violations in a timely manner (often during the inspection), the division's procedures are designed to compel compliance with all violations through follow-up visits, administration action or closure when necessary. <BR/>Violation Observation <BR/>01B-25-1 Critical.
