Update: Health Department Allows Lexington Restaurant To Reopen

A Lexington restaurant that was shutdown by the Fayette County Health Department last week was allowed to reopen Wednesday after passing a re-inspection.

Yamamoto Japanese Grill on Tiverton Way received a perfect inspection score of 100, according to the Health Department.

The restaurant was closed after receiving a low inspection score of 59 earlier.

The Health Department said the main reasons for the low score were food handling and cleanliness.
