2) Please remember to include the disclosure and reminder statement on all menus with foods that are offered raw or undercooked, or may contain ingredients that are raw/undercooked. The main menu had the correct information, however the special menus printed did not.
3) Good holding temperatures observed and good food safety knowledge shown by staff working.
