Score
Oak View Group has a thin inspection record, with only two visits on file so far. The most recent visit was on Jan 8, 2025. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around nine violations, down from roughly 11 violations earlier in the record.
When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained, & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
That's lower than the typical Providence restaurant, which scores around 80. Diners may want to weigh the inspection history when deciding to visit.
