Score
Public records show five inspections at 11 Dining stretching back to 2016. The newest entry in the record is dated Oct 18, 2019. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. The file hasn't been updated since Oct 18, 2019, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around six violations each, up from closer to four violations before.
Looking across the full record, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
