When inspectors have written things up, “ice buildup in reach-in freezer and/or walk-in freezer” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
Compared to other St. Petersburg restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
