Score
Going back to 2022, Seafood Land has four inspections in the public record. The most recent report on file is from Jun 30, 2023. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result. The file hasn't been updated since Jun 30, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around two violations to closer to nine violations.
“Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” comes up most often, recorded six times in the inspection record.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
