Low Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 22, 2021. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues. The file hasn't been updated since Feb 22, 2021, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around four violations, down from roughly 13 violations earlier in the record.

Looking across the full record, “management, food employee and conditional employee” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
