The 2025 inspection found mostly administrative issues—no certified food manager on file and missing sanitizer test strips—plus a soap dispenser mix-up that was flagged for correction, but no evidence of actual contamination, pest activity, or improper food temperatures. These are fixable compliance gaps rather than signs of active food-safety danger to diners.
