Inspection findings

Inspection date

Type

All food temperatures taken were internal.
The facility is closed down during the winter season, except for occasional catering for small events. The facility will need a very deep/detailed cleaning before re-opening for the new season. Ensure grates in floor are cleaned as well.
This inspection was a risk factor inspection that focused on the 5 risk factors for foodborne illness (food from unapproved sources, inadequate cooking temperatures, inadequate holding temperatures, improper employee health and hygiene, and cross contamination of food and equipment). Good retail practices (GRPS) observed were discussed with operator and/or staff at time of evaluation.
Menu not observed. Owner will send the rough draft of new menus to inspector for review. Ensure consumer advisory is in place and is approved before printing new menu's.
Dishmachines not observed- these machines were turned off for the season.

  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
    Observation: The following foods in the 3 door refrigerator are cold holding at improper temperatures: pudding- 45*F, sour cream- 43*F, milk- 44*F, noodles- 43-44*F.
    Correction: Relocate food to a refrigeration unit that is capable of maintaining food storage at 41°F or below. Discontinue using this unit for food storage until repaired and then monitor food temperatures. If the unit can't be repaired, replacing the unit is suggested.
12/15/2015Risk Factor
This follow-up inspection is being conducted to ensure compliance has been achieved where it is most critically needed. The facility has made improvements since the last inspection and many violations were corrected. There are no outstanding critical violations. Refrigeration units that were not cold holding foods at proper temperatures were either repaired or the facility has discontinued using them.
  • Equipment Compartments, Drainage (repeated violation)
    Observation: The bar beer coolers and the salad make table has water pooling in the bottom of the units.
    Correction: Alter or replace the waste collection compartment so all accumulated moisture due to conditions such as condensation, food or beverage drip, or melting ice completely drain.
  • Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment (repeated violation)
    Observation: The following equipment was observed in a state of disrepair and damaged: salad make table door gaskets, 3 door reach in door gasket, warmers metal strip at entrance damaged, some metal wire shelving units are rusting in coolers and in storeage areas, blue wooden storage shelves worn, wooden block under ice box not sealed.
    Correction: Repair or replace to restore a state of condition that allows for proper operation, accuracy, functioning, maintenance, and cleanability.
  • Non-Food Contact Surfaces (repeated violation)
    Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the following equipment has accumulations of grime and debris: a few doors, some shelving units (liquor room etc.), interior floor of bar beer cooler, keg cooler and salad make table, some wire shelves is coolers, gaskets of almost all coolers and freezers and the exterior of trach cans in kitchen.
    Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.
  • Physical Facilities in Good Repair (repeated violation)
    Observation: The following physical structures are not maintained in good repair: floor tiles in kitchen are busted around floor drain grate and some are damaged by cookline area, grout deteriorating in between floor tiles in a few areas of kitchen (by sinks), paint is peeling from sections of fllor in areas where concrete floor is painted, the ceiling has peeling paint over back of cookline, the walls have peeling paint in ice box room.
