In June
History: The restaurant has largely received inspection ratings of good and excellent since 2010, though it has gotten several needs improvement ratings.
What the inspector saw: The county inspector observed two priority violations, including several coolers not keeping foods at established temperatures and food stored without discard dates. Because the restaurant has had previous issues with cold-holding in other recent inspections, it received a failing probationary rating.
Follow-up: The restaurant passed a follow-up on July 5.
Response: Chef Israel Velderrain said that every cooler at the restaurant was βrevampedβ in the wake of the failed inspection, and added that the record summer heat had put a lot of strain on them. βThey work pretty hard all day long,β he said.
