Score

Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The newest entry in the record is dated Jul 1, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around two violations to closer to seven violations per visit.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Miami Beach restaurants. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
