A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.

The pattern that stands out is “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, which has been cited four times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Ray's Round up Bar-Grill trails the local norm. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
