Fresh Starts

Mesclun Salad with Goat Cheese

A couple of months ago on Check Please we saw Fresh Starts in Flossmoor featured.  Since we don't work that far away from this restaurant we figured we would give it a try.

Crab Cake Appetizer - Natalie thought something was a little salty, but maybe that was the sauce that was with it.  Nick thought it was good, but nothing amazing.

New Orleans Pasta with chicken, Andouille sausage, green onions and a Cajun cream sauce - nice taste, good bit of heat, and fun shaped radiatori pasta.  It was quite a large quantity with both of us trying it and still a lot for leftovers.

House Salad

Scallops with Risotto -
the scallops were jumbo sized and tasted great. They were served with a lemon chive cream and vegetable risotto.

Both of the entrees came with salads. Natalie upgraded to a mesclun salad which was great as it had 2 huge chunks of goat cheese in it.

Final thoughts on Fresh Starts:
Food - good food. Natalie might consider ordering out for lunch.  They have lots of good salad and lighter options.

New Orleans Pasta

Service - The service was attentive.  The owner walked around at one point to ask how we were doing.

Atmosphere - cozy and casual neighborhood feel.
