Low Risk

Inspectors have visited The Norwood Restaurant four times, with records going back to 2010. On Feb 28, 2013, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. The file hasn't been updated since Feb 28, 2013, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around five violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, showing up three times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
