Kingstowne Restaurant Inspections: One Place With 12 Violations

Do you know how clean your local restaurants are? Town of Vienna and Fairfax County restaurants regularly undergo health inspections, with the frequency depending on the type of food served and how it is prepared. While violations like malfunctioning refrigerators and food that's not warm or cold enough often pop up, health inspectors sometimes note more critical violations.

“In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations," notes the Virginia Department of Health.

Here are full results for the latest inspections around Kingstowne, including restaurants that passed with no violations. Of note, Morning Bagel Bakery had a dozen violations. One of these was cream cheese and deli meats not dated. This and two other violations were corrected during the inspection.

Click on the violations to see each restaurant's results. Full reports are usually available five to seven days after the inspection on the health department’s website.
