Low Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 31, 2013. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since Jan 31, 2013, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around four violations each.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, showing up two times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
