Off Alley Seattle Reviews from The Last Year
Okay, a lot to break down here.
We had the tasting menu with two drinks, and it came out to be around $350. The space is super tiny, as many have expressed. We sat by the door, and our knees were touching the entire time. So I would say the seating is not the most comfortable, especially if you are taller or larger in size. I think the tasting menu was an experience; however, I don't know if it was worth the money. I think they were very creative, and the ingredients were very high-quality. However, some dishes were very small and plain. The steak we had was the best part of our meal and I would easily pay $60-$70 just for that dish but everything else was just OK. I would recommend to go and try the à la cart, but I don't think the tasting menu is worth it . For example, one of the dishes we had in the tasting menu was a bun with a rabbit kidney in it, but there is a dish on the menu that is a piece of bread with at least over 10 pieces of rabbit kidney on it and it was $14. It's still a must try and I would go back again for a la cart menu.

We enjoyed our meal here! It's a small restaurant with counter seating only for 10ish people. Make reservations via texting. The menu items rotate through. They're small sharing plates, less of your regular proteins and more organ meats. Most of the plates were unique and well prepared. The grilled octopus with smoked cabbage - octopus was normal good but the smoked cabbage was done so nicely, like best cabbage ever (which is wild because it seems like a basic ingredient). The beef tendon in the onion soup was soo soft. I normally don't like tendon because of the texture but enjoyed this one. Monkfish liver is good (as it is in Japanese restaurants too), but my only thing with it is, it was $46! It's a bit hefty imo and the unique part of it was that it was in a good crab broth. My least favorite is the rabbit kidney, not that it's not prepared well but it's probably just not an ingredient I like as much, ok to try once. We spent $210 with tax and tip for 6 items. Overall, good meal, on the pricier side. Would come back when the menu items rotate through again.
If you dine here at Off Alley, you might wonder, "Why me?"
If you dine here at Off Alley, you might wonder, "Why me?" When perusing the menu, everything seems promising, but once the food hits your palate, regret and sodium overload set in. Presented with à la carte or a full eight-course meal, I opted for the former, not quite feeling up to the latter's challenge. My culinary journey commenced with the beef tenderloin and French onion soup, a dish that could easily contend for the title of the worst onion soup I've ever tasted. The lack of flavor was glaring, leaving me yearning for even a humble frozen soup from Trader Joe's. Next up were the fresh cheese dumplings with Celeriago Yellow Foot Chanterelles, a visually stunning dish that unfortunately fell short in seasoning. Not a grain of salt, pepper, or any discernible flavor profile graced the plate. Moving on to the grilled octopus with pork rind leek, the disappointment persisted. The dish was overwhelmingly salty, leaving me questioning whether the chef's affinity for sodium bordered on obsession. Saving the supposedly best for last, the lamb chops with wild rice polenta proved the ultimate letdown. Tasting akin to guzzling saltwater, it became apparent that the chef had declared war on balance and chosen salt as their weapon of choice. They emerged victorious, leaving me $200 poorer and pondering how everything went wrong. Exiting Off the Alley felt akin to being mugged--not by thieves, but by culinary disappointment.
Came here because I heard the wine was supposed to be good
Came here because I heard the wine was supposed to be good and maybe it could be but what I had for my first glass was not very good at all and then when I asked if I could have something else, the waiter loudly berated me in this pretty small restaurant about my taste in wine -- effectively telling me I have zero taste. It was a really horrible experience. Not everyone prefers the same taste in wine, especially if what's in the wine menu description does not match the taste of the actual wine. Didn't stay for the food after that.
Food alone, this place nailed the small dish, umami packed
Food alone, this place nailed the small dish, umami packed bite sized pieces that only appreciate as the night goes on. They've managed to curate a delicate, yet powerful tasting menu that nails every taste bite known to the food palate. However, don't go here if you're hungry, or if you're paying a mortgage. We were lucky enough to get a reservation but we were even more lucky to be graced by the presence of the staff. This place makes you feel like you're only slightly good enough to join them, your money is plenty good, but you yourself? Hmm not so sure. Pretentiousness and deliciousness served on the same plate delivered by a cold hand.

Good food, but priced like a 2 Michelin star restaurant, without the Michelin stars. Would be 5 statrs if it were half the price. $600 for 2 people with tasting menu and wine pairing.
Very small space, so text to make reservations before you
Very small space, so text to make reservations before you go. You will be sitting next to each other and not across due to the space constraints. Ordered a variety of things to try: Oysters - this was very good flavor wise and went well with the plum sauce Beef tendon w/ matsutake - I kind of wish the matsutake was cooked down a little. It provided earthy flavor, but the tendon was very bland as well so needed an element of flavor....maybe salt. Foie gras w/ pig feet - foie was rich and delicious, but needed something to cut the fat as the pigs feet was super gelatinous and fatty tasting as well. The cherry was way too sour in not a great way. Black cod - perfectly cooked, but felt like the black garlic sauce overpowered the delicate fish. Braised endive w/ pear - this dish was delicious in every way and the cheesy cream sauce was smoky and perfect. Bread and butter - one of the few carb options on the menu, but not sure it was worth $8 as you can get the same bread a few doors down at Columbia City Bakery. I would pass on the cocktails. None of us liked any of ours and it felt super watered down. Solid 3.5 stars, but rounded up for good service.
Preface: I'm a reasonably logical person, so I don't
Preface: I'm a reasonably logical person, so I don't understand why people are leaving two and three star reviews along the lines of "hated the service but loved the food" -- if you read the reviews ahead of time (and know you're in for a 12-person seating with a small wait staff), why would you still show up and complain about the service? You want a different kind of restaurant service, go somewhere else. Makes zero sense. Intro: Came here with my wife for a birthday dinner on Sunday, with prix fixe menu. Showed up about 10min early, waited outside until 7p while they finished setting up. (Bonus, they sat us in the middle, between the door and kitchen.) Service: Everyone was attentive and very friendly and we had a great time at dinner. One nit, at one point I wanted to ask our waiter Carl something, but he was tied up for 3-4min because some randos had come in from outside to ask if the restaurant had an open seat (could clearly see 'no') and then peppered Carl with questions about the restaurant, aesthetic, reservations, etc etc.... In one sense I appreciated his patience and dedication to taking care of (potential) customers -- but to the randos, cmon guys, read the room, and the sign outside ("have you checked the website?") Menu: Outside the restaurant was a menu, but it turned out that was the "add on" menu you could add to your order. They told us the menu was hearty, and so recommended we only get the beef tendon, and skipped grilled oysters, waygu ribeye, cheese, and bread. We ordered a bottle of wine -- wanted a red and tried their recommendation of a vin rouge grolleaux (which we had never had before), and it was fine but don't think we'd have it again. First courses: Fritter w aioli, Mixed winter greens m, Crab bisque w croche red bowl. All were very good, my favorite were the winter greens which were served with a light sauce, good texture, very well balance flavor. Finished all of them. Beef tendon: This was our one add-on, and it was just as promised. The tendon melted in your mouth, and the broth paired nicely with the mushrooms. It wasn't too heavy, which set us up nicely for their showstopper... Main course: Shepherd's pie with lamb. The chef came by to explain the lamb was actually not literally a baby, it was a 2.5yr old ewe from San Juan Island, but the way it was raised and cooked, it was as tender as a lamb (and not as tough as mutton). The flavors and balance with the potato and garlic (he mentioned some special new vegetable someone grew) made it probably the best shepherds pie I'd had, and it was just an incredible dish. We finished most of it, and took the last quarter home (which, heated up and was amazing the next day). For context re: the wagyu beef: the people on both our sides got it, and it looked amazing, but by the time the shepherds pie came out, they were all pretty full and could barely touch the shepherds pie. Dessert: the prix fixe came with a tart that was really light and well-balanced, but for me the winner was the rye custard. It was just incredibly well done, the mix of berry plus custard (not too thick / viscous) plus the rye crunch on top.... The chef said it's been on the menu for three years because they like making it so much, and I hope it sticks around. Dessert wine: we asked for a port, and they gave us Vino cotto stravecchio. Another amazing find, not too syrupy, does not taste too strong, will look to add this at home. Had a great meal! Loved the aesthetic, loved the vibe, trusted the chef on the menu (literally had no idea what it would be) and he did amazing. Would go back and bring friends.
We spent a fortune to sit in a tiny room facing a brick
We spent a fortune to sit in a tiny room facing a brick wall eating fifty dollar offal scraps dipped in pulverized green goop. Boorish owners were present, ordering around their staff. Custom ceramic plates. Impossible to get a table in this tiny place (20 seats?) - wait there are no tables just a bar facing a brick wall. Food - great, but tiny portions that will have you going to the pizza place across the street right after. You will pay a fortune here for bone marrow on a piece of toast, sprinkled with bad intentions. If this place was any smaller it would literally be in the alley out back. Zero ambiance. Pretentious concept. Would give zero stars but for the fact that the food is really good, if you can afford the expense and the aggravation.

I've eaten here 3 times now (all occasions as a part of two), and each time been extremely happy with the food and service. Wait times have also generally been reasonable. Interestingly, my longest wait was on a Thursday night around 8pm (45 minutes - mostly because a group that was done didn't clear out even though the wait staff did tell them people were waiting). On a different Friday night the wait was less than 15 minutes, and on a Saturday night I was seated immediately. I've eaten delicious pig ear terrine, the amazing foie-ffle (buckwheat waffle with seared foie gras, berry compote, and foie gras ice cream), heavenly cod, perfect smoked eel, and the best cold tomato soup with cucumber and mezcal sorbet I could ever imagine. Drinks are imaginative, and I'm not normally big into alcohol, but I've tasted 3 of their cocktails and liked them all. Prices aren't low, but are fair for the quality of the food and service. (Plus fair wages are important!) I love their outdoor seating, and I'm definitely going to keep coming back.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
