Score

Medium Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. On Feb 25, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.

Compared to other Warwick restaurants (averaging 86), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
