I've heard about FareStart long time ago but didn't visit until Friday. Went for lunch and learned more about the concept. I love how they are helping homeless people who are aspired to become a chef, by training them and all proceeds goes to the program. The interior is just like another bistro decor, helpful services. The food is amazing! I had the Apple Brandy Ox Tail - risotto, ox tail, cream cheese etc. Yummy! It was $12.99. I thought it was very reasonably priced. Their fries were yummy! Crispy on the outside, and soft in the inside. Their salad is very fresh, whole lettuce, you cut it as you eat. Like their slogan "Where you come from isn't as important as where you are going", this place definitely gives people the hope and skills to make a difference in where people go. It's a great restaurant, you'll never know by looking at the decor, what the core business is for this place. It'll be to you just another bistro restaurant in Seattle. But the core concept makes a good restaurant great!
