Score
The health department has logged 10 inspections at Alegria Meditereranean Grill, the earliest from 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 4, 2026. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around six violations each, up from closer to four violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “employee with no hair restraint while engaging” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
Compared to other Hallandale Beach restaurants (averaging 80), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
