Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around two violations to closer to five violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, this is about average. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
