Medium Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The most recent visit was on May 27, 2022. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Rhapsody Theater's record stops at May 27, 2022, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around nine violations to closer to six violations per visit over the last few inspections.

Across the inspection history, “food-contact surfaces” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded three times.

The city-wide average sits at 81, which Rhapsody Theater's 74 doesn't quite reach. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
