Low Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. Inspectors last stopped by on Jan 27, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around four violations to closer to one violation per visit over the last few inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “sewage & waste water properly disposed”, which has been cited two times.

Compared to other Kingston restaurants (averaging 89), there's room to close the gap. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
