Low Risk NYC Grade: A

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The latest inspection on file is from Oct 9, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 13 violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.

“Anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention device not provided” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Manhattan restaurants. The record reflects steady performance over time.
