In June:

History: Since 2002, the restaurant has exclusively received ratings of good and excellent. These were its first failed inspections.

What the inspector saw: On June 3, there was no hand sink in the server area, resulting in a “needs improvement” rating. That rating is for restaurants where inspectors find fewer than five critical violations that cannot be resolved immediately.

Follow-up: The restaurant failed two follow-up inspections in June because no sink had been installed, but passed a July 6 inspection.

Response: An owner didn’t return a message seeking comment.
