High Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 16, 2023. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection. Public records show no inspections at Sugar Factory American Brasserie since Mar 16, 2023, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around 12 violations, down from roughly 16 violations earlier in the record.

Looking across the full record, “manager or person in charge lacking proof” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

Restaurants in Aventura average 76, so Sugar Factory American Brasserie trails the local norm. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
