Last inspected: Aug 9, 2019
70
Score
Public records show 15 inspections at Santorini stretching back to 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Aug 9, 2019. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. Santorini's record stops at Aug 9, 2019, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 10 violations each, up from closer to six violations before.
Across the inspection history, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded nine times.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Santorini's 70 doesn't quite reach. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
