Violations:
Pest management at the restaurant was one of the high-risk violations the inspection report lists. The inspector said there was a mouse in the basement and there was a "large quantity" of mouse droppings under a stairwell. According to the report, the restaurant has 30-day pest control, but it needs treatment at least weekly.

Other high-risk violations included food held at too-high temperatures in a cooler and an employee who rinsed their gloves and didn't change them after using his phone. The health department says a violation is considered high risk if it may lead directly to food-borne illness or injury.

The report also lists medium- and low-risk violations. The inspector said there's no food preparation sink, which is required "due to the large amount of produce in use" and a bag of decomposing carrots was found in the basement.
