High Tide Poke has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. The most recent visit was on Sep 20, 2022. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. Note that High Tide Poke's inspection history hasn't been updated since Sep 20, 2022; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around six violations per visit lately, up from roughly two violations before.

Looking across the full record, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.

That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
