Well despite the above, overall that is not bad.  Just because there are violations does not mean that the place is bad or risky.  The repeat above is not a major deal in our own minds.  Repeats could be an issue, but not always.  Some places will be better than others while others will be worse.  Even the best places have off times.

What is a concern is that on each health inspection, there has been found at least one critical concern of the inspector.  Now that is something to worry about.  At least it is not a repeat offense on the critical area.

Our overall position:  As long as you like the food, the service, the people and or the atmosphere, there is no reason to stop going there.  We are just reporting the public information on these businesses.
