Score
Across the available record, Old Lisbon has 10 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 19, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 14 violations each, up from closer to nine violations before.
“Hole in or other damage to wall” comes up most often, recorded five times in the inspection record.
That's lower than the typical South Miami restaurant, which scores around 63. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
