Restaurant and Bar Inspections

Important things to note:

1. A single inspection should not be used to evaluate a food service establishment. Looking at the series of inspections over time gives a more accurate picture of the food establishment’s commitment to food safety and sanitation.
2. This database lists all violations and inspection comments. The database was created in April 2011 and will be updated monthly. Food service establishments are inspected on a routine basis and are unannounced.
3. Priority item violations are denoted under the Priority Items section. Priority item violations are serious violations and are a focus of the inspection for correction. They may be corrected at the time of the inspection or may require a re-inspection depending on the nature of the violation.
4. Anytime a food service establishment is found to pose an imminent health threat to the public, our staff will contact the Department of Health and Senior Services for a closing order unless the facility voluntarily closes and corrects the imminent health issue.
