Review from Hina Q.

This is usually the go-to place for the boys. Whenever we need to meet up or go out, this is the place that we visit the most frequent. I have been here many times and usually through out the week. I have been here on weeknights as well as weekends.
The layout is very nice as there is a lounge/bar area on one side with televisions and on the other side there is the dining area. The set-up of the restaurant is very upscale and looks pretty good.
The food is very delicious. My favorite is the dessert which I always end up getting: the Banana Xango (spelling?). This is one of the most delicious desserts I have had. It is filling but I end up packing my dinner in order to have this. I have tried many of the dishes on their menu and have never been disappointed. There is something for everyone. The staff is always compliant and willing to accommodate your tastes as they change ingredients to suit your tastes better. Not many upscale restaurants do this.
There is also an outside sitting area which is pretty busy during the summer. There isn't much of a view but it is comfortable as it has couches and lounge chairs. The service is very good and have never had any issues. -

On what seemed to be one of the final remaining sunny days of 2011, I thought I'd give Moxie's a whirl for lunch, since I was at Bramalea City Center. I had visited their Square One location many moons ago, but damned if I can remember anything from that visit.
Anyway, I parked myself on the patio and really soaked up some good sun. Really comfy chairs, nice tables, and really spacious made for one of the better patios I've been on.
And I'm sorry, but its gotta be said: The servers here (and their corresponding uniforms) are ridiculously hot. Friendly too.
I ordered their 'loaded' burger and fries, and one of their beer specials from that day. I am normally extremely picky when it comes to beer, but my server seemed pretty confident that I'd like it, and the price was dirt-cheap, so what the hell.
To be honest, I would have expected the 'loaded' burger to frankly be a little more loaded. The mushrooms were cooked perfectly and the burger, while not very thick, was tasty and well complimented with their BBQ sauce and bacon, but there really wasn't many mushrooms on it, which was a little disappointing. I'm starting to find that the burgasm tour is a blessing and a curse, because the whole time while eating this thing, I thought to myself "almost 15 dollars for THIS? I could get 3 huge and delicious burgers from C & Dubbs for that"...not a good sign.
I don't want to completely spank this burger though. It was tasty and I'd definitely eat it again, I just don't know if the cost is justified. The fries were also very good, and I enjoyed the mayo-dip concoction they give you for them. The beer was also a winner. Very tasty!
When on a trip to the men's room, I noticed the interior of the place. Seemed like a very classy and relaxed atmosphere, and while I didn't regret sitting outside, I think I'd have enjoyed myself just as much indoors.
As for the men's room...is it wrong if this was the highlight of my visit? Wow! By far the classiest crapper I've ever went into! Not only spotless, but the huge fireplace in there is very welcoming, and each urinal had its own personal satellite TV. All that was missing was a computerized voice thanking you for your urinary deposit. Very impressed.
Ok, so it's high-priced, hindering potential visits on a financially tight day. For a chain, I was very impressed with the quality of the place and its employees, and pretty satisfied with the food. I would definitely return. -

Pretty generic restaurant. Food wasn't bad and cocktails were OK - especially when you "Moxie-size" them but nothing to write home about. If I ever come back, it'll be for the atmosphere.

Décor: ultra modern
Service: pretty ok
Knowledge on Wine list: nodda
Wine taste: barely a drop & yuck.
Price: pretty steep, considering
Food: friend had burger & said it was frozen
My friend got medium steak, which was pretty good: pink in center. I ordered the same: no pink = tough.

Save your stomach and tastebuds...don't go...
My visit to Moxie's was memorable in that I will never forget the heavy gross feeling that followed after eating food that was just plain bad.
I ordered the Crab-Scallop Cake Benedict while my dad ordered the California Fish Tacos. Both sounded good on the menu. BUT, the fish was over battered, with very little meat, and the batter itself was thick, heavy and the oil tasted old. I was also disappointed to get a deep fried crab-scallop cake over a thin toast crisp that was slightly soggy. The flavour of the cake was totally masked because it was again over battered and over fried in stale oil.
The decor was beautiful, the service was adequate. But I will never submit my stomach and tastebuds to this kind of torture again. Unfortunately, this also means I will probably never visit any other Moxie's Classic Grill. I think the recipes may be innovative but the actual execution is weak. Too bad. -

This was my first time at a Moxie's restaurant (I live in California) and I really enjoyed it. We came for appetizers and drinks.
I recommend the warm mosaic dip and the chicken tenders. However, I do not recommend the calamari - I've had much better.
As for drinks, the peach bellini was delicious. Being a Californian, I've had many margaritas so believe me when I tell you the margaritas at Moxie's are complete sh!t.
The best part was dessert. We had the white chocolate brownie with icecream. It was to die for!
5 stars for the brownie and atmosphere/setting. I loved the interior design.
3 stars overall for the appetizers and drinks -

We cannot say enough good things about this location. Sara our server was fabulous, the Bruschetta was fresh tasting and delicious. Our Honey Garlic steak was cooked to perfection (and we both like it cooked differently). The beer was ice cold. We had the white chocolate brownie and the Banana Caramel Chango, both were to die for. If we had one complaint, it was the garlic mashed potatoes were cold and sticky. We will definetly eat at this location again
