Last checked Oct. 8, 2026. Figures on this page come from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s food service inspection file for District 1, downloaded Oct. 8, 2026, which covers inspections from July 1 to Oct. 6, 2026. An inspection is a snapshot of conditions on the day of the visit.
Restaurants in Coral Gables are inspected by the state, not the city or county. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Division of Hotels and Restaurants, inspects restaurants, cafes, bars that serve food, caterers and other public food service businesses. Florida does not give letter grades or scores. Each inspection lists the violations found and ends with a result, called a disposition.
Who to call

Emergency order. The state file shows an emergency order recommended at SAWA, 360 San Lorenzo Ave., Suite 1500, on Monday, Oct. 5, with five high-priority violations recorded. A call-back inspection on Tuesday, Oct. 6, is recorded as “Emergency Order Callback Not Complied.” Check DBPR’s search for the business’s current status; later inspections may have changed it.
How to read an inspection
- Each inspection in the state file counts violations in three tiers: high priority, intermediate and basic. High priority is the most serious tier.
- The disposition is the result of the visit, recorded in the state’s own words, such as “Inspection Completed - No Further Action,” “Warning Issued” or “Call Back - Complied.”
- A call-back is a return visit to check whether problems found earlier were fixed.
- A single visit with several violations does not mean a restaurant is unsafe, and a clean visit does not guarantee the next one. Read the full report for the details, and ask DBPR what a result means for a specific business.
Look up a restaurant
- Go to DBPR’s public records page and choose the food service inspection search or the District 1 download.
- Search by business name or address. Many Coral Gables businesses share names with locations elsewhere, so check the street address.
- Open the inspection to see each violation the inspector recorded.
