Low Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. On Feb 1, 2011, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since Feb 1, 2011, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around five violations, down from roughly eight violations earlier in the record.

The pattern that stands out is “potentially hazardous food meets temperature requirement”, which has been cited two times.

The city-wide average sits at 81, which Barberry's 78 doesn't quite reach. The record reflects steady performance over time.
