Score
Inspectors have visited Mimi's Kitchen seven times, with records going back to 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Feb 9, 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 seven violations each, up from closer to four violations before.
Looking across the full record, “ceiling not smooth” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
Compared to other Florida restaurants (averaging 72), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
