The majority of Coachella Valley restaurants passed their Riverside County health inspections this past week. Three, however, have a mix of minor and major violations that they need to improve upon before their reinspection dates.
Lavender Bistro in La Quinta received a B grade for both dead and live flies throughout the facility, Woodhaven Country Club received a B for improper food holding temperatures and lack of hand soap, and Manhattan in the Desert was inspected during a foodborne illness investigation.
Here are the restaurants that were inspected in the Coachella Valley March 6 through March 12:
‘B’ grades
Lavender Bistro, 78-073 Calle Barcelona, La Quinta
Woodhaven Country Club (main), 41-555 Woodhaven Drive E., Palm Desert
Manhattan in the Desert, 2665 E. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs
Note: They were not graded, but Oscar’s passed its follow-up inspection for complaint CO1006041, meaning the inspector verified that the gap/holes observed at the initial complaint investigation were properly sealed. Additionally, a thorough inspection was conducted, and no live/dead cockroaches were observed.
‘A’ grades
An “A” grade, or a score of 90 to 100 points, means a restaurant passed an inspection and met minimum health standards.
Cathedral City
Indian Wells
Indio
Palm Desert
Palm Springs
Note: No restaurant inspections were reported for businesses in the cities of Desert Hot Springs, Coachella and Rancho Mirage from March 5 through 12.
