Score
The health department has logged 25 inspections at Patio Restaurant, the earliest from 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 26, 2024. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. Patio Restaurant's record stops at Jan 26, 2024, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around six violations each.
“Walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 13 times across the record.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
