About the restaurant
FareStart's James Beard award-winning model for social change is fueled by our restaurant. We’re located in the heart of Seattle for breakfast/lunch on weekdays (walk-ins only), private events, Guest Chef Nights & other special dining experiences.
Our beloved Guest Chef Night pairs premier local chefs with FareStart students for a 3-course meal served by volunteers. These events occur on Thursday evenings & tickets release at various times throughout the year, with the menu added about a month before the event. These generally sell out quickly, so we recommend booking as soon as possible. Please note that tickets are non-refundable.
FareStart is a social enterprise nonprofit focused on job training and employment. Our restaurant & other food-based businesses serve as classrooms for students to gain culinary skills that prepare them for careers in & beyond the food service industry. Since 1992, we’ve helped more than 15,000 adults & youth work toward stability & economic mobility.

What a wonderful experience at FareStart. We took my mom for her 91st birthday and she was beaming the entire time. The food was delicious from guest chef Sean from La Colline. My brother said the salmon was melt-in-your-mouth and the curing/smoking was perfect, not overpowering at all. I don’t normally like corn chowder but the soup was perfect - creamy and smooth but not cloying. And the dessert was light and lovely. Service was a little slow but then we also weren’t a full party ready to go at the appointed time, so all good. I definitely recommend trying one of these special evenings.

About the restaurant
We are a 21+ restaurant and bar. Founded in 2018 by Joel and Matthew and purchased in late 2022 by Becky and Jon, the vision remains the same: Old English pub vibes, high quality food.

We loved The Shambles from the minute we walked in and now we continue the heritage of what was created before us. On the food side: high quality steaks, cut in house. Cooks who have the freedom to create seasonal dishes ranging from foraged mushrooms to house made sausages. To go with your meal, we offer skillfully made, non-fussy cocktails, carefully selected wines, a plethora of beers, sours, and ciders on tap and a a robust non alcoholic selection. We top it all off with warm and knowledgeable service. At the Shambles, you can join us for a lovely date night, get together with friends OR choose to sit at the bar and get an ear full of cheesy jokes and unfiltered chatter We are serious about our service from top to bottom and we can’t wait to serve you!

Definitely earned its spot on all the lists. Steak was wonderful as well as the rockfish and cauliflower steak. We had a lovely time, and will be back.

I ate my meal so fast I don’t even have photos. Calling this a hidden gem is exactly right. The airplane chicken with Olive chimichurri, carrot purée, and seasonal veggies was perfectly cooked, seasoned, and executed. What a meal. Recommend for a date night dinner or a cocktail for happy hour!

We were a party of eight with young children. The manager was very helpful in setting us up outside where we were very comfortable. The food was delicious and came out quickly which was a help with the children. Very satisfied.
