Letter Grades For New York City Restaurant Health Inspections - Roosevelt Island's Trellis Diner Gets An A, Others Not Graded Yet
The New York Post reports on the New York City Health Department's recently enacted letter grading system for restaurant inspections.
Now you "C" them, now you don't. The Health Department has identified the first 15 restaurants branded with a lowly C since the city's A-B-C grading system was launched more than three months ago -- but more than half of those eateries were caught hiding their lousy grades from customers....According to the NYC Health Department Restaurant Inspection Information page:
... Starting in July 2010, New York City is requiring restaurants to post letter grades that correspond to scores that it receives from its sanitary inspection. An inspection score of 0-13 is an A, 14-27 points is a B, and 28 or more points is a C. Grade cards must be posted where they can easily be seen by people passing by...How did Roosevelt Island restaurants do on the grading system? Well, the Trellis Diner had the most recent inspection on November 4, received 12 violation points for a grade of A and like a parent proud of a child's Report Card, posted the A grade on their window for all passing Roosevelt Island residents to see.
Trellis Diner Received An A Grade From NY Health Department Restaurant Inspection
None of the other Roosevelt Island restaurants have yet to receive a letter grade though their most recent Restaurant Inspection reports are here.
UPDATE 4:40 PM - Extension of the Trellis Lease is on the Agenda for the November 17 RIOC Real Estate Development Committee Meeting.

Now if we could only get Kai to reupholster the booths and remove those dreadful artificial plants, and do a little painting -- then the Trellis would really have earned it's A rating...
It wasn't long ago that RIOC was threatening to kick Kai out. He's not likely to spend much on upholstery or painting if he has no assurance of being there long term.
We ate there last week and my friend's cake had mold growing on it.
Trellis is a sad place. I am glad that we got the Bar & Grill as alternative. I hoped a bit of competition would do good for Trellis but nothing really changed.
I don't really eat at Trellis, but I do love the ads in the Wire.
Patrons need to let Kai know that he needs to upgrade and renovate his restaurant. The more who do, the better.
The Bar & Grill is new and has TV's everywhere. If Kai renovated, more would believe the A rating. Until then, it's just going to be the same OLD Trellis.
Kai says he has plans to renovate.
We'll see if he does, or it's just lip service.
