Observations & Corrective Actions

15: 470 Condiments, cheese in metal storage containers on bottom shelf of left prep with no covering or lid. This exposes the food to possible contamination from food drips or condensation from above.
Corrective Actions: COS. Discussed with Cook Victor who was covering.

43: 550 All 3 ice bins in bar had scoops in the ice with handles touching the ice. This is a potential contamination issue. This was despite the fact, that they had ice scoop holders on the side of the bins.
Corrective Actions: COS. Discussed with PIC who corrected the issue. Please make sure all employees are trained on the proper storage of utensils when not in use.

45: 2000 (A) (C) Single service items are being stored on the floor upstairs, which is a potential contamination issue.
Corrective Actions: In 90 days (By 4/30/24), have all single service stored 6 inches off floor on shelving.

Additional Comments

Still could not see the sign posted anywhere informing the public they could ask to see the most recent inspection. This is a requirement of the permit holder (12 VAC5-421-3750) and was discussed at pre-opening and at the last inspection. Another copy given to the PIC.
Discussed wooden block trays which still were in use in restaurant. PIC stated that new items had been purchased and Roberto was supposed to return to make the change tonight. As discussed, even if used with handhelds with a single service piece of deli paper between the woord and the food, the blocks still needed to be clean and in good condition.
Noted better labeling of chemical spray botlles.
