Score

Medium Risk

The health department has logged five inspections at Eastern Standard, the earliest from 2023. On Nov 24, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “(2) and (b) time/temperature control for safety food hot” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Compared to other Boston restaurants (averaging 86), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
