- Number of Inspections: 10
- Number of Unacceptable Ratings: 3
- Talk of the Sound Commentary: very bad inspections, 30% of inspections rated “unacceptable”, in a word the food service is “gross”, food/milk maintained at temperatures outside acceptable range, potentially hazardous food (tuna), dirty cutting board, hand wash sink not working, handling bagels with bare-hands, dead mouse found.
