Comment: Inspection occured an hour prior to opening, when there was a significant amount of food prep taking place. However, the kitchen was clean and organized and the food workers appeared to be working with established procedures that included food safety and sanitation with the process. All sanitizer buckets had properly concentrated solutions of quatinery amonia for wiping cloths. The prep table cutting boards cited during the last inspection were clean and smooth without stains. The kitchen manager stated they are routinely scrubbed with a bleach solution. Other items checked during the inspecion included: accuracy of food probe thermometers, proper cold holding, reheating (pork) and hot holding, proper sanitizing by the dishwasher, availability of handwashing in the food prep area and employee bathroom, proper food and equipment storage and general sanitation. Well run operation.
2022-04-05InspectionCritical: 0, Noncritical: 3, Violation Items: 10A; 11D; 12E

Well run operation!
2021-12-09InspectionCritical: 2, Noncritical: 3, Violation Items: 10A; 12E; 2E; 6A
Comment: There was a great deal of food preparation happening prior to the facility openning for service which, is when inspection occured. There were multiple food workers on hand at that time. However, with everything, including equipment and food storage locations labled it is well organized. It is evident they have established procedures to ensure all critical control points (cooking, cooling, reheating, hot and cold holding) involved with preparing food requiring time / temperature control, are achieved. However, a recently cooked cheese sauce was cited for improper hot holding at the steam table during this inspection. Judging from the volume of the pot the hot held cheese sauce was pulled from, it is a popular menu item. It is recognized some food items like cheese sauce and cream soups may be precarious in reheating and hot holding. If that is the case and the food item moves, it maybe worth while applying for hot holding waiver using time as a public health control for such menu items. The Inspector will email the application to the operator for concideration.|Items checked during inspection include: accuracy of metal stem food probe thermometers, proper hot and cold holding, availability of fully equipped handwash stations in food prep areas and restrooms, availability and use of barrier (gloves) for handling ready to eat food, availability and proper concentration of sanitizer for wiping cloths, proper sanitizing by dishwasher, proper food and equipment storage and general sanitation. Well run operation. Inspector left Handwash signs and food safety postings.

2020-10-13InspectionCritical: 1, Noncritical: 2, Violation Items: 5A; 8B; 9B
Comment: Although, a cold holding violation was cited, it appears the new Facility managers have adopted food safety policies and procedures that include tempemperature logs that monitor critical control points (cooking, cooling and cold holding). Corrective action must be initiated when critical control points are not met. Much of the previous hot holding observed during past inspections has been removed. Reheating many menu items now occurs to order. The walk-in cooler was clean and well organized and all food was labeled with a use by date. In addition to the walk-in cooler, other pieces of equipment (prep, reach-in coolers and freezers) were also found to be clean and organized. Cleaning Lists were posted throughout the kitchen.

This is the second routine 2017 inspection. The use of vacuum packaging, discovered at first routine inspection has stopped. The equipment was seen to be dormately stored in the basement. Kitchen manager, Nick Furnia helped inspector understand and address past and present procedures. He was able to convey to staff the following training items: 1) The difference between QAC and chlorine test strips; 2) How to monitor and handle food preperation at room temperture with small, quick batches to minimise temperature abuse; 3) The difference between a pot holder and a food contact surface wiping cloth; 4) Use of temperature vs time to determine if cooling is sufficient; and 5) No bare hand contact of ready to eat foods including grilled tortilla shells when they are brought from grill to assembly. The next routine inspection will show if the efforts at training can avoid violations and promote better outcomes.
2017-03-07InspectionCritical: 1, Noncritical: 1, Violation Items: 16; 6A
All vacuum sealed foods temperature and sealing history was obtained from the kitchen manager. Interview and observations did not indicate any temperature abuse. When the inspector asked if any fish or seafood was vacuum sealed, the cook presented 5 individually sealed on-site portions of raw salmon stored in a 40*F walk-in shelf. The inspector explained recent NYS training indicating the safety requirement for fish is that the fish be made frozen before sealing, and kept frozen while sealed. Before a handling history of the sealed on-site fish could be obtained, the cook voluntarily discarded the fish. This discard without inspectors request, and kitchen managers written instuctions on the kitchen staff daily communication board stating not to use vacuum sealer indicates the operators intentions to comply with requirements to use a vacuum sealer on-site.

Dataset Details

The New York State Department of Health's Bureau of Community Environmental Health and Food Protection works to protect the public health by assuring that food service establishments are operated in a manner that eliminates hazards through design and management, resulting in a decreased incidence of foodborne illness in our communities. The Bureau's Food Protection Program also coordinates foodborne outbreak investigations, analyzes the findings and uses this information to develop regulations and guidance designed to prevent similar outbreaks in the future. This data includes the name and location of food service establishments and the violations that were found at the time of their inspections. Violation details are collected on inspection reports (i.e., the actual food item, quantity and temperature of food found out of temperature control) as well as corrective actions for critical violations; this data set is limited to the violation number and the corresponding general violation description.

There are over 90,000 food service establishments in New York State. The Food Protection Program provides guidance and assistance to county and city health departments and State District Offices which in turn permit and inspect food service establishments, some institutional food services, temporary and mobile food service establishments and food and beverage vending machines. Each food service establishment is registered with facility name, business address, inspection dates, violations, etc.

To give New Yorkers the access they deserve to government data and information, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo launched the Open NY initiative in March 2013 and signed Executive Order 95. It directs state agencies to identify, catalog, and publish their data on the state's open data website administered by the Office of Information Technology Services (ITS). Open NY increases transparency, improves government performance, empowers New Yorkers to participate in government, and encourages research and economic opportunities statewide.
