Score
The health department has logged 10 inspections at Gt Prime, the earliest from 2016. The most recent visit was on Mar 3, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around two violations to closer to four violations per visit.
Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded five times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
