Score
Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Bite has been inspected four times since 2023. Bite was last inspected on Jan 8, 2026. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around two violations compared to roughly four violations earlier on.

When inspectors have written things up, “food contact surface not properly washed” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Manhattan restaurants. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
