Low Risk NYC Grade: A

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The most recent report on file is from Dec 26, 2024. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

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 the broader Manhattan restaurant scene, this is about average. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
