"Multiple food contact surfaces" — including a lemon slicer, dishware, various utensils and a can opener —  had food debris on them, as did oven doors, refrigerators, prep coolers and shelves, officials said.

Other reported violations included "cut lemons and limes on display without proper protection," feta cheese and rice kept longer than seven days and raw beef and chicken stored above fish and shrimp.

A follow-up inspection will be completed within 10 days of Wednesday's failing evaluation.

"It's absolutely being taken care of immediately," he said, "and most of this stuff was being addressed at the time of the inspection."
