a fiery escape - View this location on map

the fire of 1901 started in a factory that processed spanish moss for industrial use, but the flames at mossfire grill (904-355-4434) are strictly culinary. start with blackened tomato and chipotle salsa with blue and yellow corn chips ($2.50) and up the heat with a dirty devil martini (with pepper-stuffed olives; $8) or a margarita made with one of 46 tequilas. escape to the rooftop deck laced with lights or to the lively upstairs lounge with a granite bar and, on weekends, live music where locals savor smoked pork tacos with ancho mole and pineapple salsa ($8).
