Galbee City appears in inspection records four times, starting in 2011. The most recent visit was on May 9, 2013. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important. Note that Galbee City's inspection history hasn't been updated since May 9, 2013; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around 13 violations lately compared to roughly two violations before.
“Food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Galbee City trails the local norm. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
