Low Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The most recent visit was on Jun 23, 2010. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. The file hasn't been updated since Jun 23, 2010, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, which has been cited two times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
