Starving Artist Cafe - Little Rock, AR

 June 8, 2011

So I saw the name Starving Artist and was immediately intrigued. I had a reservation for lunch at one of the premier restaurants, but something about Starving Artist and food had me hooked. Just across the river on Mail street I found a very quaint spot with a diverse hodgepodge collection art on display. The art, all by local artisans, is available for sale. The restaurant allow each of those 'starving artists' to have their own gallery of sorts.



I immediately received a warm greeting by the manager. Then Mike my waiter was very helpful and selecting my meal. Starting with the Starving Artist house salad, with peppers, olives, and a house vinaigrette.

Next up, the daily fish special: Mahi-Mahi with corn crab relish. Fish was perfect, tender flavorful was the combination with the relish. The sauteed mixed vegetables melted in my mouth, next to the roasted red potatoes with herbs.

Then for desert, strawberry crepes with a creme anglaise. Not as prescribed on the menu with chocolate ganache, but perfect for me.
