O3 Bistro
Last inspected: Apr 8, 2026
67
Score
Inspectors have visited O3 Bistro eight times, with records going back to 2023. On Apr 8, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “standing water in bottom of reach-in-cooler” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
That's lower than the typical Sunny Isles Beach restaurant, which scores around 74. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
