New York, NY -- A Manhattan restaurant, which entered the records book last week for selling the world's most expensive dessert for $25,000, was forced to shut down Thursday after city health inspectors found vermin on the premises.

According to the Health Department, officials found a live mouse, mouse droppings in multiple places, flies and dozens of live cockroaches, failing Serendipity 3 on the Upper East Side its second consecutive health inspection in a month.

According to New York Daily News, a health official said through a statement: "Both inspections revealed rodent and fly infestation and conditions conducive to pest infestation, including stagnant water in the basement."

Patrons arriving at the restaurant were greeted with signs displayed "Closed by order of the Commissioner of Health and Mental Hygiene" and "Closed for renovations."

Some were so put off by the news that they wowed not to return.

New York Daily News cites 23 year old Hayoung Kim saying: "I won't come back. I don't want to eat their food now."

On November 7, the restaurant entered the Guinness Book of World Records for the most expensive dessert when it partnered with luxury jeweler Euphoria New York to create "Frozen Haute Chocolate," a blend of 28 cocoas fused with 0.2 ounces of edible 23-carat gold.

Owner Steven Bruce told media they are working on resolving the issues so that they can re-open as soon as possible.
