About this restaurant

Innovative
Good for special occasions
Romantic

Located in a renovated warehouse, Floataway Café transformed the space into a contemporary dining experience. Chefs/Owners Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison have created a local organic, produce-driven menu with daily menu changes that reflect seasonal influences. Pale blues are offset by creamy wood panels and natural lighting, while a courtyard area is transformed into a romantic outdoor café with the night sky forming a starry canopy.

Most of the food was very good. We got one pasta dish where the pasta was well over cooked so my Italian husband was not happy. He likes al dente, as it should be, always. The seating is terribly uncomfortable, so you want to eat and get outta there; cold metal chairs opposite low cushioned benches with 90 degree backs, no support or comfort. It is always cold in winter.

I chose Floataway Cafe since my husband had never been there and thought he would enjoy it since they are part of Star Provisions. The occasion was my husbands birthday. I was called the day before our reservation to confirm we were coming on the date and time of our reservation. The woman I spoke with said she would make a note for our Server that it is my husbands birthday and they would bring him dessert. When we arrived, the place was not very busy. Our Waiter came and took our drink order and it took 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive. We both ordered the fish which was delicious, however my husband was pulling out bones after every bite he took of his meal. We had finished our drinks for awhile before the waiter returned to ask if we wanted another round of drinks. When the meal was over, the Waiter was not given the message about bringing the Birthday dessert and we were so ready to go find better service at another place we didn't bother to tell the waiter that he was supposed to have offered the Birthday dessert. It was a disappointing meal.

This was our second time at Floataway, though it's been about 3 years since our first trip. We found the first meal magical - loved every bite. It may have been the latest menu or just an off night, but our recent experience just wasn't the same. The salad was under-dressed and unremarkable, the duck bolognese overly salty and the service a bit slow, especially as the evening progressed. The ambiance was great, my husband liked the steak and the wine was fantastic, but with so many good options in town, it may be a while before we venture back.

Floataway has always been very consistent and good over the years but with kitchen changes recently, the execution was good but not as good as it was before. Some short cuts on dishes were noticeable. But still one of the better options in this town.

Our waitress was very nice, but the food took about 50 minutes to an hour to get to our table after we ordered. The food is way overpriced. It was tasty, but nothing special for the price you paid for it, not to mention that the portion was VERY small for the $25 paid. We will probably not be returning.

Floataway has the best roast chicken of any restaurant in the city. Another diner thoroughly enjoyed the hangar steak and the third diner feasted on the loup de mer.

We have been to FC for New Year's Eve several years in a row and this year was disappointing. Our crab fritter was cold in the middle, our server was sweet, but seemed overwhelmed and inexperienced. (Our wine was not opened up at the table which was strange.) The steak was seasoned perfectly, but the whole fish was lacking in flavor. We will be back, but to note, it feels like the restaurant has taken a couple steps back in quality.

A little less excellent than usual. Hanger steak came to the table cold, so we had to send it back. Service was good but a little inattentive, with gaps. No doubt thrown off by having to send the steak back. Otherwise very enjoyable.

Will keep this short...overall, food was good, but DO NOT order the butternut squash agnolotti. You will get 5 small ravioli (think thumb from the upper knuckle, if that) that aren't even enough for a tiny appetizer, much less an entree...we were literally shocked at how little was served for that dish and thought of ordering more food for the two folks at our table who ordered that dish. Otherwise, service was not all that attentive, despite the restaurant being mostly empty. And one of the busers put the *enormous* to-go bag (for one piece of pizza) right in the middle of the table, right in the middle of our conversation. Food was good, not great.
