"At Columbia City’s Off Alley, a Punk Rock Mentality and No-Rules Food Are Reshaping Seattle’s Fine Dining Scene. The restaurant serves Pacific Northwest ingredients with natural wine, punk rock, and lots of yelling. Off Alley is a 14-seat restaurant with a kitchen in the back and the dining room, a narrow counter along one wall, in the front. Diners can enjoy dishes like grilled quail with nettles or fried pig head with preserved cherries while surrounded by blaring punk rock, loud conversations, and yelled communications between service staff and cooks." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart
