Low Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent visit was on Apr 9, 2020. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. The file hasn't been updated since Apr 9, 2020, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around zero violations to closer to three violations.

“Food & non-food contact surfaces cleanable” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
