Low Risk NYC Grade: A

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The latest inspection on file is from Sep 2, 2025. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.

The trend has not been favorable, with the count rising from one to three between inspections.

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.
