After several “Fair” and “Poor” health inspection ratings in past months, Embody Fitness Gourmet at Equinox fitness club received a perfect 100 and a “Good” rating on Nov. 19 from a Darien Health Department inspector. Embody was one of a dozen food-serving establishments in town inspected and rated recently by the Health Department, which rated five “Good,” three “Fair” and four “Poor” (details below). Embody’s snack bar at the Darien YMCA received an almost perfect score of 99 in a health inspection on the same day. (The only thing found wrong: water was pooling in a bain marie.) The YMCA snack bar, which received a “Good” rating under the Darien Health Department system, has not had a history of many “Poor” or “Fair” inspection ratings.

Four out of five food-serving establishments in town received mediocre “Fair” ratings from Darien Health Department inspectors, with a new one getting a “Good” rating and an almost perfect score, according to the most recently released inspection reports. How the ratings system and scores work

Restaurants in town are rated under the Darien Health Department’s own Good/Fair/Poor ratings system. Health inspectors also use the state health code regulations to score restaurants, with a perfect score set at 100, and deductions for various code violations. The Darien system takes into account problems that are ongoing or that have been fixed, so a restaurant scoring higher than others on the state scale may actually get a lower score on the Darien scale, or vice versa. You can find the past several inspection ratings under the Darien ratings system for food-serving establishments on this website.
