Medium Risk

With just one inspection in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The newest entry in the record is dated Aug 8, 2023. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. The file hasn't been updated since Aug 8, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Compared to other Philadelphia restaurants (averaging 72), there's room to close the gap.
