Score
Across the available record, Wood has seven inspections on file, the first dated 2017. The most recent visit was on Oct 31, 2023. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Public records show no inspections at Wood since Oct 31, 2023, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around six violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.
Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded five times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
