Score
The health department has logged 24 inspections at Radisson Blu Aqua — Fire Lake, the earliest from 2011. Inspectors last stopped by on Oct 31, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Violation counts have held steady across recent visits, averaging around seven violations each.
The pattern that stands out is “insects, rodents, & animals not present”, which has been cited 10 times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
