Cliff's Tavern holds a D-minus grade and scores lower than 76 percent of comparable restaurants, placing it in the bottom tier of facilities in its category. The establishment has shown a troubling pattern of recurring violations across multiple inspections, with inadequate hand washing facilities and thermometer problems cited in both March 2024 and April 2025, followed by persistent staffing issues around food worker certification in October 2025 and April 2026. Most concerning is the sharp deterioration in the April 2026 inspection, which introduced new high-risk violations including absent risk control plans, improper cold holding, and an uncertified person in charge, suggesting the facility's conditions have worsened significantly over the past six months.
