Low Risk NYC Grade: A

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

The pattern that stands out is “evidence of mice or live mice in establishment's food”, which has been cited three times.

Compared to the broader Brooklyn restaurant scene, where the average is 77, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
