Score
Fisherman's Island appears in inspection records 24 times, starting in 2016. On Apr 14, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” comes up most often, recorded 18 times in the inspection record.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
