Red Lobster Waikiki reopened after fixing sewage backup
Health officials have approved the reopening of Red Lobster in Waikiki with a green placard.
The Hawaii Department of Health Food Safety Branch on Tuesday issued a red placard to Red Lobster at 1765 Ala Moana Boulevard, immediately shutting it down, due to sewage backup.
DOH said during a routine inspection, an inspector saw sewage backup between the kitchen entrance and dining area.
After a follow-up inspection on Friday, DOH determined the violation had been resolved.
Officials advised Red Lobster to continue regular monitoring and maintenance to prevent future occurrences.
