Routine Inspection
May 28, 2026
5 recorded violations
Official wording
No rodents, insects, birds, or animals
Inspector’s notes
Observed two dead adult turkestan cockroaches on a glue trap below the bar. No other evidence of vermin activity was observed at this time. It was discussed that this facility receives monthly pest control services by Terminix. [CA]: The premises of each food facility must be maintained free of vermin.
In plain English
The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
Observed pico de gallo in a shallow ice bath at the bar measuring between 40F at the lower portions of the container and 45F at the level above the ice bath. The PIC stated the pico de gallo was portioned from the unit approximately 2 hours prior. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above. [COS] Ice was added to the ice bath to fully submerge all portions of product.
In plain English
Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.

Hands clean, properly washed; gloves used properly
Inspector’s notes
Observed the use of latex gloves in the facility. [CA] The use of latex gloves is prohibited in food facilities and retail food establishments. Types of non-latex gloves that may be used in a food facility or retail food establishment include, but are not limited to, nitrile, polyethylene, and vinyl.
In plain English
Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.

Plumbing approved, installed, in good repair; proper backflow devices
Inspector’s notes
Observed a drain line for the soda gun nozzle at the bar placed into the ice bin. No evidence of cross contamination was observed of the edible ice at the time of inspection. [CA] Liquid waste drain lines shall not pass through an ice machine or ice storage bin.
In plain English
The business had issues with hot or cold running water, plumbing, drains, backflow prevention, or sewage disposal. Some of these, like no hot water, can force a temporary closure until fixed.
