Yes, eat hereJudged 7/10/2026

The most recent inspection found only cleaning and sanitizer concentration issues with equipment nozzles, not active contamination, illness, or improper food temperatures. Past issues like missing soap/towels at the bar sink were minor and have not recurred, so overall this is a low-risk history for diners.
