Excellent BiteKarma score 96 out of 100
How the BiteKarma score works

Each routine inspection starts at 100 and loses 7 points for every critical violation and 2 for every other one, half again as much when the same problem was cited at one of the two inspections before. An inspection where the health department closed the kitchen counts as 69 at most. The score averages the five newest routine inspections, with the most recent counting most, and stays below 70 for 90 days after a closure unless the restaurant is inspected again and reopens. 90 and up is excellent, 80s good, 70s fair, and below 70 poor.
