Low Risk NYC Grade: A

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. Inspectors last stopped by on Mar 20, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around three violations lately and about five violations before that.

The pattern that stands out is “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material”, which has been cited two times.

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