47
Score
Inspectors have visited Laurel Brasserie seven times, with records going back to 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Feb 2, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around five violations to closer to eight violations.
Across the inspection history, “establishment has no written procedures for employees” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.
That's lower than the typical Miami restaurant, which scores around 74. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
