I attended an event Crystal Bay Catering hosted for my friend Barbara did for Christmas at Sea Ranch, everyone got sick and the food was definitely not fresh. So I looked them up on the internet – saw another 1 rip off report already on their Sanitation report, so I looked Crystal Bay Catering up myself on Department of Health. They inspected Crystal Bay on April 19 and they have an Administrative Compliant logged against them for bad sanitation.
Barbara already did a Yelp review on them, but obviously the word did not get out in time for us - I told her you have to use the Rip Off Report, not one looks at Yelp - so I am submitting my own review. This Catering Company ruined my Christmas
Below is cut and paste from health Department , no wonder we all got sick.

Violations:
A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below. 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. High Priority violations are those which could contribute directly to a foodborne illness or injury and include items such as cooking, reheating, cooling and hand-washing. Intermediate violations are those which, if not addressed, could lead to risk factors that contribute to foodborne illness or injury. These violations include personnel training, documentation or record keeping and labeling. Basic violations are those which are considered best practices to implement. 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.
Violation
Observation
Intermediate - Certified Food Manager or person in charge lacks (which is Chef Sam LoPiccolo ) knowledge of foodborne illnesses and symptoms of illness that would prevent an employee from working with food, clean equipment and utensils, and single-service items. **Corrected On-Site**
