Score
Inspectors have visited Morseland six times, with records going back to 2010. Morseland was last inspected on Aug 13, 2012. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. Morseland's record stops at Aug 13, 2012, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near five violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, which has been cited five times.
Among Chicago restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
