 A classic urban loft-and-warehouse space houses Floataway Café; it’s softened by artwork and brushed tin, stainless steel and chrome accents. Chef-owner Anne Quatrano and partner Clifford Harrison are both of Atlanta's Bacchanalia, and their longtime chef de cuisine Drew Belline keeps Floataway's reputation secure with heartwarming, flavorful and earthy dishes. Belline, a native of Georgia and a graduate of Johnson & Wales University, loves to forage for mushrooms in North Georgia and there’s an emphasis here on locally grown organic produce, some of it from the Quatrano family farm. In season you may find Georgia white shrimp while muscadines grace the menu in late summer. For starters, consider a plump deep-fried crab fritter. Chicken livers have always been on the appetizer list, although their appointments change from time to time. Main courses change daily, but if there are gnocchi among them, consider the choice. Paired with sweetbreads and some of those North Georgia trumpet mushrooms, the simplicity of the dish and its earthy origins provide peerless flavors. Desserts, which change seasonally as well, can be a heady experience. Playing with concepts, soft-serve ice creams could come with accompaniments as startling and tasty as olive oil and special salt. Or opt for a cheese course, with selections coming from myriad sources. A delightful, refreshingly reasonable wine list offers unique bottles from around the world, with many of them available by the glass.
