Current Hotel and Restaurant license not displayed. Expired license posted. Operator was not aware he has to print his license.
This record follows the licence, not the owner. Restaurants change hands and the licence history normally does not, so an older entry may describe people who no longer run the place. Every inspection above links to the state's own report. Something wrong? Tell us.
