Date: 2017-06-27 Type: Re-Inspection Violations: 0 critical, 0 noncritical
Comments: This was not a complete re-inspection, only looked at the prep unit that was down and the state of the flooding in the basement. The cooler in the kitchen was holding temperatures 39-45*F in both the top and the bottom portions. The ice machine is not to be used (staff stated they they are only using the one behind the bar, and basement unit was nearly over flowing), until that drain line can be corrected, the unit cleaned and sanitized. Please send in writing (or email)a work plan detailing how the facility will continue to operate and manage the flood for the remainder of the season. Operator stated that the water level was down over the weekend, about an inch or two at the high end, but 6 hours later it was back to 6 inches deep. Today it was about 6 inches deep at the base of the stairs.
Date: 2017-06-16 Type: Inspection Violations: 5 critical, 4 noncritical

Comments: A three bay sink has been added outside for some food prep(washing lettuce), an indirect drain is present under the sink. The water has gone down about 6 inches since the last visit. The basement planks are above, or at the water level for nearly half of the basement. One of the ice machines has been elevated, cleaned, sanitized, and put back into service. The basement is not suitable for prep, and only limited storage should occur down there. Operator has added chlorine pucks to the water to try and eliminate some of the algae growth that has begun from the water.
Date: 2017-06-02 Type: Inspection Violations: 0 critical, 0 noncritical
Comments: Basement has 12-24 inches of water as it slopes towards the river. Cinder blocks and plywood were used to make a path, but the water is not 2-16 inches above the walkway. Prep is occurring at night in the upstairs kitchen area. The basement is used for dry storage only. I've recommended relocating the dry storage items so no one has to go down into the water. The bag in box soda is nearly submerged and needs to be addressed. The dishwasher has been relocated to a shipping container on the upper patio. It had more than adequate sanitizer and took three consecutive cycles to get up to temperature. The water lines are pex and come from inside the building, the drainline has been plumbed into the buildings main drain lines. Two ice machines located in the basement are taken out of service. A small ice machine located behind the bar was making the ice for the facility.
