Medium Risk

Titie Restaurant & Lounge appears in inspection records 14 times, starting in 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 1, 2026. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 11 violations to closer to six violations per visit over the last few inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “ready-to-eat”, which has been cited four times.

That's lower than the typical Fort Lauderdale restaurant, which scores around 80. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
