Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near seven violations each time.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, showing up 11 times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
