Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Meson has a thin inspection record, with only two visits on file so far. The most recent visit was on Nov 7, 2024. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

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

“Non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

Compared to other Brooklyn restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
