A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe. The file hasn't been updated since Nov 1, 2018, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The city-wide average sits at 81, which Snarfs River North's 67 doesn't quite reach. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
