Weekly restaurant inspection report from Riverside County Public Health Department.

For the third week in a row, Coachella Valley restaurants passed Riverside County environmental health inspections and earned "A" grades, according to reports conducted Nov. 24 through 30.

Among those that scored well this week were Encore Coffee Bar in Indio, Ramen Musashi in Palm Desert and Low Desert and Lulu California Bistro in Palm Springs.

Major violations pose an imminent risk to public health and warrant the immediate closure of a food facility or immediate correction, while minor violations do not pose a public health risk, but do warrant correction.
