Score
Going back to 2022, Lingr has three inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Oct 17, 2023. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. Lingr's record stops at Oct 17, 2023, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around six violations, down from roughly 10 violations earlier in the record.
The pattern that stands out is “employee personal items stored”, which has been cited three times.
Compared to other St. Petersburg restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
