- Number of Inspections: 8 (+2 Complaints)
- Number of Unacceptable Ratings: 4
- Talk of the Sound Commentary: An absolute disgrace, something you would expect to find in a third-world country, 50% of the inspections were rated “unacceptable”, there were two additional complaints that would have been classified “unacceptable” if they had been regular inspections so really the figure is 60% unacceptable. Food maintained at temperatures outside acceptable range, hand wash sink not working, items stores in sink, dumpster area unclean, unsanitary conditions, floors unclean/stained under and behind equipment throughout kitchen and generally filthy. No surprise then that inspectors found live flies, dead roaches and live ants crawling on the food.
