High Risk

Going back to 2025, Wanderlust has three inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Feb 6, 2026. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around two violations to closer to seven violations.

Across the inspection history, “time/temperature control for safety food” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

Compared to other Miami Beach restaurants (averaging 69), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
