Back in the early 2000s, my son was served totally spoiled milk there which was not noticed until he smelt it. Given that the milk was curdled, it was hard to understand how anyone could pour a glass and not notice. The response we got to our trying to give back the milk and get some fresh milk was that that was all they had. We reported the incident to the DeKalb County Board of Health but never heard what happened after that.

Admittedly that was years ago and the management staff may have changed; certainly the wait staff has. However, we’ve never set foot in there again. Given that none of their food is all that enticing, we’ve had no reason to re-evaluate.

@Joe C.
Erica W did the majority of the inspections (75%; 39/53 with inspector names). Based on the numbers there is no evidence that she was harsher than the others, although the there really isn’t enough data for the other inspectors for a meaningful analysis.

Inspector initials/average score/number of inspections:
AP/92/1
CF/88/2
DH/92.25/4
EW/89.8/39
FR/88/4
LS/91/2
RZ/84/1

I noticed that too Carolyn, but RT seems to be one of those places that originally scored in the 70s and then had a 'retest' a couple weeks later and scored in the 90s. Also, if you look at the original inspection sheet, you'll see that the same thing happened in 2008...on Feb 5, 2008 they scored a "75"...then on Feb 25th they scored a "96". Seems like a trend.
