High-priority violations dominate the record, with handwashing and hand-washing facility violations cited in 8 of the past 8 inspections, employee health policy and reporting violations appearing in at least 5 inspections, shell stock requirement violations in 5 inspections, and proper cooking temperature violations documented on multiple occasions. The facility received an administrative complaint recommendation on February 2, 2026—the most recent inspection—when inspectors found three high-priority violations including handwashing facilities and consumer advisory failures. A prior administrative complaint recommendation was issued on July 21, 2022, indicating that formal disciplinary proceedings have been initiated at least twice. Despite the severity and consistency of these findings, no emergency closures are on record, though the pattern of recurring high-priority violations across handwashing, employee health, and seafood handling suggests systemic management failures in fundamental food safety practices.
