Goldie’s Seafood cited for sanitation, cooperation and outdoor‑service violations; board imposes fines

Goldie’s Seafood Bar and Grill, 2112 Fleet Street, was found in violation of sanitation and cooperation rules after multiple inspections and a contentious interaction with inspectors; the board imposed $50 fines per listed violation at its Sept. 25 hearing.

The board’s docket lists overflowed trash and sanitation complaints on June 30 and July 8, 2025, and a July 18 incident that included an alleged physical confrontation and profanity directed at liquor board staff. Counsel for the licensee said the owner’s family had recently suffered a homicide in the family and described the owner as emotionally distraught; the owner submitted a letter to the board and the parties said they later resolved the dispute with a next‑door neighbor.

Licensee representatives told the board they had added additional trash cans (five on the side of the premises), personally removed excess trash to the city dump and temporarily suspended outdoor seating to address the overflow issue. The owner and counsel said the neighbor and licensee have since patched up their differences and that the business had been making operational improvements.

The board found violations of Rule 3.082 (sanitation and safety) on the two trash‑related dates, Rule 3.02(a) (cooperation) and Rule 3.12/general welfare and Rule 3.081(d) (outdoor table service limits) on July 18, 2025. The board imposed $50 fines for each violation and gave the licensee 30 days to pay. Board members recorded the licensee’s corrective steps and received a written apology into the record.

The board instructed licensing staff to monitor the establishment and to record the corrective actions and correspondence in the license file.
