Score
Across the available record, Audubon has seven inspections on file, the first dated 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Aug 25, 2025. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “equipment food-contact surfaces nonfood-contact surfaces”, which has been cited four times.
Restaurants in Boston average 86, so Audubon trails the local norm. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
