Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near 10 violations per visit.

When inspectors have written things up, “food & non-food contact surfaces cleanable” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.

The city-wide average sits at 81, which Lakebreeze's 61 doesn't quite reach. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
