Score

Medium Risk

Going back to 2022, Culinart has seven inspections in the public record. On Mar 27, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.

Looking across the full record, “time/temperature control for safety food cold held” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

The city-wide average sits at 74, which Culinart's 64 doesn't quite reach. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
