Score
Medium Risk

Across the available record, Red Door has 15 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. The most recent report on file is from Feb 23, 2016. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result. Public records show no inspections at Red Door since Feb 23, 2016, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around eight violations per visit lately, up from roughly three violations before.

The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, which has been cited 11 times.

By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Red Door on the weaker side. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
