Most recent inspection August 13, 2026. Up 33 points from the previous inspection.

Why this grade is C

C grades cover scores from 70 to 79. The establishment still passed, but inspectors recorded enough violations — often repeat or critical ones — that it needs follow-up attention. The inspection score was 33 out of 100.

No itemized violations were published for the most recent inspection, so the score is the only detail on file.
