The letters
A restaurant’s grade is its latest graded inspection. Fewer than 14 violation points is an A; a B or C can be fought at a hearing, so the window says “Grade pending” meanwhile.
By cuisine
Share of A’s, among cuisines with at least 100 graded restaurants.

Cuisines aren’t inspected differently, but some kitchens have more to get wrong: raw fish, long-held stews, open-air prep.
