Score
Medium Risk

The District Gastrobar appears in inspection records seven times, starting in 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Sep 26, 2025. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.

Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near 10 violations per visit.

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