Score
Chanson at Royal Blues appears in inspection records five times, starting in 2022. On Apr 10, 2024, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent. The file hasn't been updated since Apr 10, 2024, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around four violations, down from roughly 12 violations earlier in the record.
