Score
Going back to 2022, Spris has 10 inspections in the public record. Spris was last inspected on Apr 22, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around four violations to closer to seven violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “handwash sink used for purposes other than handwashing”, which has been cited four times.
Restaurants in South Miami average 63, so Spris is doing better than most peers. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
