Reviews of FareStart

Mr Potter

What a great organization. This is a WIN-WIN idea if there ever was one. Kudos to all the folks at FareStart who are every day rolling-up-their-sleeves helping others learn how to roll-up-their-sleeves. This town is far better for your work.

Melissa Chu

I love the ambiance and decor of this place. The tall ceilings combined with glass windows all around at this corner location opens up the place in a unique yet private way. Just to top that off, the food here is delicious. Every dish I ordered came just right as described. The dishes themselves are very common American dishes, but you can see and taste the detailed work that went into each plate.

Philip Ermish

Nothing mind blowing but good food with a great cause! The fish and chips is pretty good! Oh and the fires with carrot-tomato sauce is awesome!

Narek Dshkhunyan

Really delicious sandwiches, the spicy Nashville one was a favorite. Probably on the expensive side, but certainly worth contributing to their cause. In a nice area close to all Amazon buildings and beautiful Seattle downtown.

Kai Pan

Team lunches are a quarterly event for my team. For this quarter’s team lunch, our team chose FareStart to have the team lunch. I am aware of the positive impact FareStart is having on the community. We arrived on a rainy Wednesday for lunch. I opted to get a red wine and the impossible burger for my lunch with a tomato basil soup. The burger was served with some pickled onions and pickles on the side. The burger itself was juicy and delicious and the chipotle mayo style dressing on the bun was adequate for the size of the burger. The burger is definitely bigger than an 8oz burger and was filling. For dessert we opted for a seasonal mint pie which was a pie in the form of a burger. The ambience of the place is astounding and I will definitely come back or try the other FareStart restaurants in the Seattle area.

Pooja Vaid

Great initiative to support homelessness and poverty. Food was nice, the chickpea fries with carrot ketchup were fantastic. Note that they don't serve alcohol during lunch service, only dinner.

Kavitha Lingamoorthy

I was pleasantly surprised with the recent menu and presentation. I have been coming here since they opened. Food has always been good, service friendly and ambience comfy. But his time the plates were impressive both in terms of visual pleasure and taste. Next time, got to try those cocktails.

Newsha Makooi

Love the concept and mission. Enjoy dining here and feel good about supporting the mission. 👍 My dining experiences have always been positive here. The service is friendly and courteous. The food is delicious, and the restaurant has a very good vibe to it.

Todd Plociniak

Had a great lunch here, blackened salmon and parmesan truffle fries. Great tasting food, very cool atmosphere and a great mission, highly recommend this place

Jen H.

Nice restaurant for lunch. Food presentation is good. Supporting the cause is more of a reason for me to try this place. Come with a little bit more patience as staff are still training and learning.

Daniela Bailey

The labor behind this restaurant is so noble. The fact that this nonprofit is behind changing the life of men and women who have come out of jail or such is just priceless. Please go to Farestart for a great meal and I can almost guarantee you'll leave with a smile on your face knowing you contribute a little bit towards the success of people not so privileged.s

Owen Lee

I had Five Spice Duck Cannelloni. Great taste. I wish I had a bigger comfy chair though.

Erika Duke

Great food and a wonderful cause. Worth supporting and having a terrific meal.

Mark Rosenberg

I both volunteer here and eat here as a customer. Both experiences are fantastic because both help a great cause. I don't give out five-star reviews that much, but this is worth it. The Thursday night meals are fantastic. I got to see graduation and it brought a heartfelt tear to my eye. Volunteering on Sundays with growing students is a wonderful experience.

Raghu Agarwal

We went here on a guest chef night. They have a 3 course meal and I must say the food was amazing. Even though our first impression about the dishes from their names was average, but when the food came in, it tasted really good. Will definitely go again.

Jack E Graham Jr

I just filled out the application today. My interview on Thursday the 18th of July. Looking forward to expanding my kitchen know how and skills.

Rachel Wille

5 stars because of what this place stands for. Giving others a chance for a fresh start and second chance..I love it! The food was also very excellent. I had the fish & chips. The fish was very flaky and fresh it was probably the best I have had in a while. Not overly breaded. My husband had the clam chowder and salmon sandwich which he also enjoyed very much.

Xiao Li

It's a decent place to have a decent business meal with a decent price. Alaskan wild caught salmon is tender, somewhat juicy, simply grilled and seasoned with a bit of charcoal after taste. Accompanied grilled vegetables are well executed but a bit oily for me. The sauce is about right amount and not overwhelming. I would like the dish for the price, a good deal for a business lunch.

Justen Britain

I love what they are doing here, it's a great program. The food is really good, but 5 stars has to be reserved for the things that really stand out. The food is good, a tad on the salty side and the ribeye was a bit bland. The fish and chips is fantastic. Has a very pleasant open atmosphere.

Noah Marsh

Amazing restaurant from concept to the environment, to the plated dinner itself.

Lacey

Food wasn't quite there. Salmon was cooked well but the dish lacked a sauce or creamy component so it was very dry and salty. Some of the vegetables were cooked well and others close to raw - very mixed bag. Fries were crispy but had a strong oil taste and the carrot ketchup wasn't good. Service was great, nice atmosphere.

Nick

Great organization, great mission and tremendous food.

David Trick

I go here quite often, not just because the food is good (Great Fish and Chips!), but also because they support a school which teaches culinary arts to people trying to restart after serving time in prison. They add a service charge already as a part of the check and anything added is a donation to the school. Good food, good purpose.

Jeff Smith

Overall a great place to get lunch! The tomato basil soup and blackened salmon sandwich were both really good. Also, I thought the prices were very reasonable for a sit down restaurant. Definitely recommend!

Frederick Wright

Love the idea behind this social enterprise, but also love the upscale, soaring interior design, creative lunch menu and attentive service. My burger was one of the best I've ever had in Seattle, and now I'm looking forward to dinner on their guest chef nights.

Jane Lu

This place makes wonderful food. I had the steak frites, hamburger, fish and chips, and a salad here during my lunches. They were all wonderfully cooked. They also sell a great impossible burger. Both my vegetarian friends and carnivorous friends couldn't believe it and they loved their impossible burger. They also sell other vegetarian meat alternative options that are very meat-like. My vegetarian friend had to ask the waitress to confirm it was not meat. Really great place. They also have guest chefs. The restaurant is part of a nonprofit organization, so you're also doing good by going here!

Asser Moustafa

Great decor, atmosphere, service, and food. Everything was great. I had the wild caught salmon sandwich with fries and it tasted excellent. Can get really busy during lunch time so show up early or prepare to wait a bit for a table.

Amy Robinson

Make sure you check out their Guest Chef night every Thursday. The food is great. The service in the evening is all volunteers, so it's not always the smoothest, but it gives you the chance to support a good cause and try interesting dishes.

Lis Reis

We have lunch at FareStart and the food was great! Good quality ingredients, careful preparation, beautiful presentation resulted in great sandwichs. We also wanna support the fight against homelessness that FareStart is part of. We hope it gets bigger each day. We sure recommend you have lunch there!

Billy Ellis Jr.

I think we're all lucky, those of us who currently live in plymouth housing, to have an organization like farestart making and delivering food on the daily. My favorites are the campfire stew and the meatloaf sandwiches. Yum! But theres a couple things that are note worthy. One, not everybody can eat raw onions. And the raw onions are in everything. Too much onion in everything. Two, half the people in plymouth housing dont have teeth. So putting apples and pears in the sacks is not cool lol. And why is there vinager in everything thats a salad? Thats it. Oh, nobody eats the little bag of carrots. Thank you so much for making awesome lunch and dinners for us! You guys are awesome! Wont forget it....😁

Ulises Cuevas

This place is solid. It's not outstanding food but it is consistent. Good service, friendly staff. I've been coming here for a long time now since my work is couple blocks away. I think they can improve the quality of the food but overall it's ok. You're not missing out if you don't stop by but if you're looking for a standard meal and you're hungry, it's okay to stop by.

Abhishek Pradhan

FareStart is great, I would always go here for lunch. They have great lunch options is convenient to step out for lunch if you work around the area. The place is unique in that it is actually a non profit organization that helps the homeless obtain job skills through work in their kitchen. The menu features simple straightforward food such as soups, salads, sandwiches and burgers to which I have never been disappointed.

Brittney Thornton

Amazing place. Help hard working people get back on their feet while enjoying a GREAT meal. Not just good, really great food! They take volunteers all the time to help prepare food to be delivered to shelters, schools,etc., which was also a really great experience.

David Rorabaugh

Open for lunch daily and guest chef night on Thursdays. This place is great, it serves as the center of a non profit job training program. The 16 week program helps people with barriers to employment learn valuable skills both in the kitchen and in life. It's an organization full of people who have a common goal to help others and give back to those who need help. Meals in the restaurant are prepared by students who have graduated to the final phase of training and the food is delicious!

Bud Cashatt

First, the food is amazing and very well priced. Second, the cause and training this place provides is is outstanding. Every time I come here the rotating menu has something new and fresh, it's always cooked with innovative and fun ways. The service is great and you can actually see the staff being taught and learning as they are working, in a very positive way. I love coming here for lunch as much as possible.

Jackie Ivy

I love everything about FareStart. Yes the food is delicious (perfect for grab n' go, but also lovely if you want to have sit down dining). I love their mission and the work they are doing in the community. We need more businesses like FareStart (Great Food, Greater Cause)

Elyse Stemmler

We had our wedding last August in the Panoramic Room at Pacific Tower with FareStart. We loved the fact that some of the money we were putting into our wedding was going to a non-profit to help train others that are having a difficult time. FareStart was wonderful and accommodating through our wedding planning process and on the day of the event. There were minor things that came up through the process, which is to be expected with planning such a large event. FareStart was great at working through any issues, understanding our needs and working diligently to come to a solution. The Panoramic Room made for a spectacular venue with breathtaking views. Last but not least, the food was amazing. Great variety of dishes and very accommodating for dietary needs. We would highly recommend the Panoramic Room and FareStart catering for your next event!

홍강의

I didn't know what kind of restaurant it was when I first stepped in this restaurant. Anyway it proved that it doesn' matter how the quality of food is. The person there wsa very nice and kind. I was sure the food must be good too. I reserced two seats at 7: 30 today evening. I am expecting tasty yummy food this evening. Nice people always serve nice food. I am sure.

Sharon Kelly

Highly recommend guest chef Thursday dinner. Such an impressive community charity. Make a 6:30 reservation so you can catch the 7:00 graduation.

Dustin

Good food, large portions, good prices, friendly staff, would go back if in the neighborhood. Went for a business lunch. It was busy but able to easily have a conversation. It is a good place to bring clients and the place has a great story.

Barbara Porter

A jewel of an opportunity for young people to rehabilitate and move into restaurant jobs for life. At the same time the restaurant offers lovely food on a regular basis. On special nights a guest chef provides a special and altruistic volunteers work as servers to raise money for future trained. Truly a win/win/win operation.

Stephanie Grimm

Thursday night Guest Chef dinner has become a monthly (or more) treat for us. Three amazing courses at a steal of a price. Inviting atmosphere. All the servers are volunteers from local companies or organizations...we've been on the waiting list to serve for months!

Amber Umble

FareStart is a wonderful place doing amazing things to change the lives of those that need a fresh start. The food is amazing and the cause even better. A very charming and comfortable place that gives off a warm hearted feeling. I highly recommend sharing a dinner with friends and family at FareStart.

Christopher Sweeney

They gave me an opportunity in life I could not obtain without being discriminated against. Every one here can relate with one another on one subject or another and it creates a real comfortable atmosphere for progressing life skills. They have people in the right positions with the right skills to help you address anything you need. If you struggle even a little pay them some hommage, they will teach and feed those who need basic living skills and requirements.

Josh Sun

If you want your day to be fair, you should definitely start here. They serve delicious fare at a fair fare here, with a personal predilection for the fish and chips - it's light and crispy, and the portion size is also fairly large.

Nicole Baade

This is one of my favorite places to support because of what they do for our community. The food is always great, and it's all for a great price. Go for lunch, or better yet, on a Thursday evening for their "guest chef" night. You won't be disappointed.

David Minear

I was here for a volunteer opportunity and have not eaten at the fine dining restaurant. They did serve lunch to the volunteers and it was fantastic. And their mission is exemplary. I already signed up for more volunteer shifts.

Kurt Abe

Restaurant with a social cause. This non profit restaurant helps homeless and needy individuals get restaurant experience. Heres the bottomline, the food and service is good. Vegans note that they offer several salads and Field Roast dishes you can enjoy. Don't go here because it's for a good cause, go here because the food was s good. Only bad thing I can say is that they have limited hours...Check the website before you go. Oh and they have local guest chefs...Another plus.

Roy Stillwell

Great Program. You can get a 5 star meal for 40 bucks. Their guest chef program is well worth the money. Plus if you take the time to volunteer you can get it for free and have a great time helping others.

Ali Tayyebi

Truly wonderful place. The programs that they offer to people are great, and the food is also very good, especially the field roast sandwich. Every single time I've been to this place the food and service have been excellent.

Angel Duncan

Wonderful restaurant with delicious food and a mission. Close to Amazon points of interest. Part of a mission to offer individuals a fresh start in life. While serving delicious food to the community.

Natalie Chun

Great organization that is taking a sustainable approach to helping people out that have fallen on hard times. The food on the guest chef night can be a mixed bag, but the price is reasonable and you cannot beat the cause.

Alyssa Young

Was invited here for a friends wedding reception. It’s a beautiful space with delicious food! Highly recommend for those reasons. Also, highly recommend due to their main cause/the fact they give back!

Jason P

Pretty good in terms of food and service. We've eaten here multiple times, and had catering done by them. I like their mission, and their service is pretty good. I'm a fan!

Suzanne L

Open for lunch every weekday, this fabulous restaurant serves tasty fare at relatively inexpensive prices (especially for this quality). And it also teaches job skills to various formerly homeless employees so that they might find gainful employment elsewhere. The kitchen is very accommodating, even burning the burger to my fiancé's specifications. It is open for dinner only on Thursday, and there's a different guest chef every week, with a set menu (that's $30ish plus wine) that's an awesome bang for the buck compared to the venue where s/he usually presides. The servers are volunteers on Thursday nights, so their tableside inexperience is more refreshing than annoying, especially since they are so very sincere.

B C

I've now both dined and volunteered on Guest Chef Night and the food is outstanding. Remember on Guest Chef Night your servers are volunteering. So be patient this isn't what they do every day.

Cameron Lowell

The "restaurant with a purpose" concept is really cool. Glad to support a good cause while also getting something in return. Food is decent quality at a reasonable price.

Sindhuja S

I love the concept of the restaurant! The food is great and the added bonus of doing something for the greater good! This place satisfies both karma and the belly!

Matthew (Dexter)

Very good menu. Also a wonderful place if you are trying to learn culinary arts. Stop by or call to volunteer to serve the homeless.

Donna

I volunteered here feeding the homeless and people in the shelter. What a fabulous service and wonderful food they offer. Staff are really friendly and caring people providing hospitality training for people in need of work.

Hannah Angel

A wonderful place to eat. Nice setting and friendly people. The students and the chefs work very hard and it shows in the quality of the food.

Tyler C

Food is always good. Usually no wait. Prices are amazing with no entree above $20 to my knowledge. Eating there is also for a good cause and donates to fare start.

Isaac Simmons

This place makes amazing food, it is run by amazing people, and I love there mission and what they do for the community. One of my favorite places to go for lunch when I'm in the area.

Justin Kutch

The food was good with good portions. The service was a bit slow for an average lunch. Worth it, for sure, just be prepared and schedule around it.

dtracers

The food was really good and tasted great! If you are getting the soup choose the tomato basil over soup of the day. It's amazing

James Peace

This is great ordination. Great price for the meal. We were there volunteering our time to support. Had a great time. If can go eat there or even your time.

Brian Taylor

I had a great lunch here. Really enjoyed the pork chop sandwich. Make reservations, people were getting turned away as we left.

Katie Morgan

If you're looking for a place to have a casual business lunch, this is the spot. The lunch menu is great (I recommend the salmon) and the atmosphere is modern with a relaxed feel.

Alice Louie

Volunteers are amazing. So are the guest chefs. Most Thursday nights. Good cause, great food! Open during weekdays too.

Rachele Kelly

I have only been here once, but the interior is incredibly comfortable and was a larger space than I expected. The food was pretty good too!

Mrinal Chatterjee

Awesome place. Food is great. I went for lunch with a colleague. Staff is very helpful. Do get there early or make reservation. It is quite busy at lunch time.

A J

Perfect! The food was tasty, the waitress was very nice and we didn't have to wait forever to get seated or get the perfectly medium cooked steak.

Por-shi-a “Pretty eyes” King

My school I love it here it is all free a good training good food I see that now and I think if you live here and trying to be sober clear minded living homeless please try it at least I think you will love it

Raj

Gave a to go order of salmon sandwich at this place and got it under 10 min. Food was packed well and salmon was just perfect! Highly recommend.

Matthew Shea

Food is phenomenal, service is outstanding. Pricing is reasonable. Add the charity and community work this place does on top and it's a great place to have.

devlin ziegler

This place has helped me get my life back together after a very severe drug addiction and mental health issue. Im almost a graduate of the retraining program. Im very grateful for all the care and attention i have received

Adam Hagen

What a great program! I've done guest chef night here many years as the guest chef and it's always a great experience, so many great people!

Keegan Charles

The caesar salad w/ blackened salmon was superb. Some of the best salmon I've had in recent memory. Would reccomend.

Calene R.

This is worth eating at. The experience is worth every penny. This non-profit benefits those needing a direct in the food industry. It's hands on.

Brenden Volmer

Great food, great cause!

Nitin Jamadagni

Nice sandwiches, good atmosphere. The homemade carrot saice is awesome. If I were around I would go again and again.

Steve Harrell

Great food with an even better cause.

Aaron White

Awesome concept only bested by better food. Don't forget to grab a quick reservation and enjoy the food while supporting a great cause.

Charles Baker

I am a Graduate of Farestart. If it was not for being in this Culinary Arts Program, I would probably be back in my home town doing drugs for the next 25 years. Farestart helped me get a job. Taught me several things about the food industry. And, most importantly, changed my life around. I owe everything that I have now: Bank Account, A place to live, 3 cars, My Job, People that I can rely on; to the Farestart Staff like Chef Dan, Chef Paige, Chef Bret, Chef Danny the main chef, Chef Michelle, Chef Carrie Ann, and all the others. One more Chef to bring up. He stated that if I can become a chef, anybody can. He is such a down to earth person. His name is Chef Gary. I will remember him, always. Other staff members are Angela Chin and my E.S. Miss Fields. This Farestart Culinary Arts Program do more than just teach one to cook foods of all kind. Farestart helped me to be alive, again. I give my heart felt, sincere THANKS, to the Farestart Community and everything they do. Better stop for now before I end up writing a book. Now I am crying because I owe them for so much.

Mason Gonzales

The FareStart program is absolutely amazing! The food I have ordered there is hands down better than any dinner I have experienced at the most expensive restaurants in Seattle.

brian valdes

What a great concept! We went during a graduation ceremony for some of the workers and it was very cool. Also, the food was amazing!

Marvin Jared Lemmon

I have only had the burger, with fries. It was medium well and not bad. The atmosphere was busy and normal restaurant volume.

Chris Petersen

I love FareStart's food and mission. I'm a huge fan of the Field Roast reuben -- so much that I haven't managed to taste much else from the great menu.

Catherine Alcorn

Hello my name is Catherine Alcorn I'm a student at Fair start it is wonderful program I'm blessed to be a student there I can see myself doing something good for myself and others I'm only 3 weeks into the program but I love it and I'm sticking with it I can see brighter things for my future and for the future of other's too I'm still on my journey and I'm not done yet

Gus Chan

Quality food with decent price in this part of town. Good to go with small and large group. Support the business model behind

Edward Creed

I know guys who are participants in the Farestart program. It's a great way for people to get a fresh start in life. Those I've seen graduate from the program come out with a new self confidence.
