Score
Moody's Restaurant has been inspected 32 times since 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Aug 12, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around eight violations to closer to three violations per visit.
“Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 16 times across the record.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
