Restaurant Inspections: Busboys & Poets, Athena Pallas, Lotus Grill, Capitol City Brewing and More

Health Department officials are constantly inspecting restaurants across Arlington. 

Below are the most recent restaurant inspection reports available.

"Ideally, an operation would have no critical violations, or none which are not corrected immediately and not repeated. In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations," according to Virginia Department of Health's website.

The site continues: "Keep in mind that any inspection report is a 'snapshot' of the day and time of the inspection. On any given day, a restaurant could have fewer or more violations than noted in the report. An inspection conducted on any given day may not be representative of the overall, long term cleanliness of an establishment."
