UPDATE: The restaurant was re-inspected Nov. 9 and received a 92/A.

ORIGINAL STORY (Nov. 4, 2016): A cafe in a Buckhead office building failed a recent health inspection, with officials noting a "fly catching tape strip hanging directly above a food prep table."

Simmer Cafe, located in the Monarch Tower at 3424 Peachtree Road across from Lenox Square mall, scored a 61/U following the Wednesday evaluation.

According to the report, raw chicken was being stored over ready-to-eat foods in a walk-in cooler.

Officials also reported food debris buildup in gaskets and on a can opener blade.
