High Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent visit was on Jun 21, 2024. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around one violation to closer to nine violations.

The pattern that stands out is “cutting board has cut marks and is no longer cleanable”, which has been cited two times.

That's lower than the typical Clearwater restaurant, which scores around 79. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
