Mar 5, 2024 — Complaint inspection

Conditional

Triggered by a public complaint about this restaurant.

Undated deli meat held over 24 hours, food stored on floors, and equipment damage created multiple food safety risks.

Key Findings

  • Deli meat packages (turkey, chicken, ham) were displayed without date labels and discarded for exceeding 24-hour hold time.
  • Food items stored directly on walk-in cooler and freezer floors instead of elevated surfaces.
  • Damaged door gaskets on seafood freezer and rust on prep carts and shelving compromised food safety equipment.
  • Leaking faucets in prep area sinks and slow-draining staff washroom sink, plus debris and spills throughout multiple prep areas.

Key findings are derived directly from the inspector's notes from the Chicago Department of Public Health. See the full violation notes below.
