Score
Going back to 2010, Marmalade Chicago has 18 inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Aug 16, 2019. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Note that Marmalade Chicago's inspection history hasn't been updated since Aug 16, 2019; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near six violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “insects, rodents, & animals not present” has been the most frequent reason, cited eight times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
