Food Scene
My Favorite. the best. local organic and the best of what is seasonal. amazing appetizers, hand made pastas (agnelotti and season raviolis are always excellent, as are all the entrees) a few seasonal wood oven pizzas on offer are beyond delicious but i usual go for an entree and seasonal app like: I had the most delicious Nantucket Bay scallop crudo when it was available (seasonal end of October on) the best summer succotash with magical corn and veggies from the chefs own family farm: Summerville farm. the James Beard award winning chef owners also own other stellar restaurants Bacchanalia (fancy), Fish Camp (crispy asian fish salad is bomb) and Pancake social and Star Provisions and Little Star. I love them all- but Floataway is my go to. The dining room is lovely and I also I like to sit bar area when i drop in for a quick bite to dine solo. entree plates from $17-25

amazing artisinal baked goods, my favorites are the buttery almond cake slice, gougere (cheese puff choux pastry), earlgrey sablé, and literally everything they make. if you are watching your figure, stay away. far far away. oh, and on the weekends only, they have not to be missed cheddar waffles with a sorgum syrup, and local charcuterie made thick applewood smoked bacon. i get it with maple syrup instead.

Octopus Bar is a late night secret spot for the most creative little plates with asian /european /California influences. Before 10 pm it is called So Ba, a great Pho Vietnamese noodle soup restaurant... but after So Ba closes at 10 pm- It becomes Octopus Bar which opens after 10:30- 2 am. Where else can you get a good buttered lobster roll in atlanta at 2 am? ...or Spanish octopus with Harissa and sweet onion, or a beautiful little plate of citrus, white anchovies ,cucumbers,herbs and coriander?? and it's only 1.5 miles from the my home!

famous chef. amazing concept, small plates are brought out dim sum style (each chef comes around with rounds of tapas and you'll decide if you want the small plate of food or not ) there is a menu and you can hold out for the dishes that you desire, but each one presented is so tempting you may end up saying yes to everything. excellent craft cocktails
