Low Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The most recent report on file is from Jan 11, 2018. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. The file hasn't been updated since Jan 11, 2018, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near four violations each time.

When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Among Chicago restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
