- 51-16-7:Intermediate - No plan review submitted and approved - renovations were made or are in progress. Must submit plans and plan review application to DBPR H and R Plan Review office located at 2601 Blair Stone Rd., Tallahassee, FL 32399-1011. Plans must be submitted AND approved within 60 days. The direct link to the Plan Review page is https://www2.myfloridalicense.com/hotels-restaurants/licensing/plan-review/. Entire establishment is currently undergoing a full remodel. Restaurant is currently operating out of an adjoining kitchen in the same building (was previously On the Fly Food Hall, license not active). After adjoining business closed, Fresh Kitchen acquired the space and is currently using it as a corporate test kitchen. Current establishment is temporarily using the test kitchen to operate out of while remodel of original space is ongoing. Test kitchen is not currently on plans (inspector observed proper function of hand wash sinks, coolers and ware washing equipment). Customers are not permitted indoors during remodel, food is ordered from table outside on patio, food is prepared and packaged, then handed to customer in to go containers. According to ownership, all equipment will be returned to original location with the exception of rear prep area (walk in cooler relocated and additional prep equipment installed).
