Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around seven violations to closer to four violations per visit.
Across the inspection history, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded four times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, this is about average. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
