JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — Health inspections identified pest control issues as a top concern at three restaurants in this week's Restaurant Report.

A health inspector saw rodent droppings, live and dead roaches and live flies in the kitchen of Zeta, a popular restaurant and brewery in Jacksonville Beach. It was temporarily shut down, but allowed to reopen after two follow-up inspections.
