In August
History: Since opening in 2014, has received only βexcellentβ ratings. This was its first failed inspection.
What the inspector saw: The restaurant was ordered closed on Aug. 2 because sewage was backing up in the dishwasher area. The inspector also noted problems with hand washing sinks and employee hand-washing practices. On a follow-up inspection, an inspector also noted that many utensils were not clean βto sight and touchβ and some foods were not stored at sufficiently cool temperatures.
Follow-up: Failed a follow-up inspection on Aug. 5, but passed on Aug. 10.
Response: Problems with the sewage may have been due to a disgruntled employee, manager David Worth said. A cleanup revealed that a pair of gloves and bar rag had been stuffed into a drain in a way that seemed to be intentional. Worth said he suspected the same employee also did damage to a bathroom sink and hand-washing station. Worth said the former employee's last words before leaving the restaurant were, "Well, you havenβt heard the last of me."
