Floataway Cafe = Fantastic!



Crispy squash blossoms with ricotta and basil.

While my mom and stepfather were in town we ate very well! On Friday night just after they arrived we headed over to Floataway Cafe, located on Zonolite Road near where Briarcliff Rd. intersects with Johnson Rd. Living so close to this location, I cannot believe this is my first time here. I love the space, which has apparently expanded since their original opening. There are two dining room areas and a large bar area. We had a wonderful meal. My favorites were the squash blossoms, the quail, the trout and the toffee pudding cake - delicious. You should definitely give this place a try!



Menu.



Fresh peach salad.



Clam pasta with garlic.



Trout.



Mahi-mahi.



Quail with blackberries.



Frites.



The bar.

The desserts were all wonderful but our favorite was the toffee pudding cake with vanilla ice cream. With just the right amount of sticky sweet mixed with cool, fresh ice cream, this one really impressed us and had us licking the spoon for more!



Profiteroles.



Soft serve ice cream with caramel and hazelnuts.



Toffee pudding cake with ice cream - table favorite!
