Coachella, Palm Springs restaurant­s reopen following reinspecti­on

Coachella Valley restaurant­s scored "A" grades on their Riverside County environmen­tal health inspection­s this week, and two previously closed spots reopened, according to reports conducted Dec. 15 through 21.

Eastern Buffet in Coachella and Kaiser Grille in Palm Springs were shut down last week due to major violations that were observed during their respective inspection­s, but both locations scored "A" grades and were reopened following reinspecti­ons.

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.

Grade A restaurant­s

An "A" grade, or a score of 90 to 100 points, means a restaurant passed an inspection and met minimum health standards.
