Key Findings

• About 25 small flies were observed in the rear prep and dish area; pest control services required before re-inspection.
• Frozen crab was being thawed improperly in stagnant water instead of running water as required by food safety rules.
• Fly traps were hung directly above food prep tables, violating code that prohibits insect control devices over food preparation areas.
• Significant grease buildup, food debris, and dirt found on floors under cooking equipment, along walls, and in corners throughout prep, dishwashing, storage, and basement areas.

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