High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around five violations each.

When inspectors have written things up, “hot TCS food item not held at or above 140 °F” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That's lower than the typical Manhattan restaurant, which scores around 77. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
