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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
