Is that a lot?
Too few food places here for ranges. Colours show points.
Most food places here got 2 to 15 points taken off. Fountainhead Bar got more than most. That's from the last routine visit, on Nov 5, 2025.
Compared with 9,600 Santa Clara County food places. Each place's last routine inspection counts.

Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.
100 means the inspector found no problems. Santa Clara County takes points off for each problem. Big ones take off more.
The county posts a green, yellow or red placard after each inspection, and gives routine inspections a score. In the county's data, a routine inspection with no violations listed scored 100, and the score drops as violations are found. The county's page does not say which scores or findings give each color: ask the department.
