Stratford Restaurant Inspections

Below are the results of the most recent round of Stratford food service inspections as well as restaurant inspections requested on the Stratford Patch Facebook page, conducted by the Stratford Health Department.

First, a few notes on scoring:

A perfect report with zero violations yields a score of 100.

However, a restaurant can be docked one 4-point violation, receive a score of 96 and still fail the inspection, according to inspector Andrew Anderson.

Anderson said the most serious violations carry a 4-point demerit, and if a restaurant is hit with one of those it results in an automatic failed inspection. The most common 4-point violation is for food temperatures, he said.

Another way to fail is to score less than 80. "Whenever someone scores under 80 we have them in for a hearing, see if we can do anything to help them," Anderson said.

A restaurant is typically given two weeks after a failed inspection to right the violation or violations.
