Review from Rachel S.

Came here with a bunch of clients/co-workers recently- there were about ten of us and we ate a large table in the lounge/bar area. Very hip and trendy decor. The music was a little loud and distracting-- very bass-y. We weren't sure if that was on purpose or not. There are loads of TVs in there-- you can't miss a swing or a kick, even if you try.
Good variety of beer selection and the staff was very nice. We ordered two of the sampler appetizer platters which was more than enough food for 10 people- although they did skimp a little on the calamari. Less bread stick things-- more calamari, please.
I had the sirloin steak salad with goat cheese. It comes with a vinaigrette but I always take mine on the side to avoid soupy salads. Love goat cheese! It also comes with banana bread. Weird, right? And, it's not just a piece of bread-- it's a small loaf! I actually saved it for later because it was just too much after everything we ate.
Definitely a good lunch place if you're in the Thornhill area with younger-hip clients/coworkers. -

I took a couple clients here for lunch today.
I ordered a burger with bacon and mozzarella cheese and mashed potatoes instead of fries.
My order arrived and instead of mashed potatoes, there were sweet potatoes. I hate sweet potatoes so brought it to the person who brought our food's attention right away (it wasn't our server). As I was eating my burger, I realized that there was no cheese or bacon on my burger but didn't make a fuss about it. The burger and mashed potatoes were delicious.
Two in our group ordered a brie and lobster sandwich and they said it was greasy (it's made like a grilled cheese sandwich) so they used utensils to eat it.
Just before our server brought the bill we'd asked for, he came over to apologize (it's the first time he acknowledged the lack of mozz and bacon) and said that I was getting a free dessert because of the mix-ups. I didn't want dessert so passed on it. -

Is there any non chain, non Franchise establishment with a decent patio up at Richmond Hill??? Think hard!! Are there??
Ended up me and My Hot Yoga Date ended up at Moxies... yes it is just so boring... I would like some suggestion where to go and if you think about somewhere decent, please kindly message me!!
You see all these waitresses with their nice tan, heavy make up, low cut top with their push up bras in their shorts and heels..... I feel like I am at a Hooters or something.....anyway, for my Hot Yoga Date, dressing like that would not automatically get you a big fat tip, we looking for services.....
Menu is predictable but I do think that's great that Moxie has daily drink specials, Monday is beer for $3.99 for the whole day and for Sunday is Caesar for $4.99.
Our waitress was just so slow in every possible way: slow to take our food order, slow to get our bills, slow even taking our money...........maybe her heels slowing her down? or her top just too tight?
My Kiwi Mojito ($5.99) is made of fresh fruits, quite refreshing but I barely tasted the alcohol, the proof is my face did not even turn red after I drank that and I didn't feel anything at all!
Sweet potatoes fries($7.75) was quite good, but definitely small in portion! We were attacking it and it was gone so fast..... might be because we were fighting for it, that 's make it exceptionally tasty!
I might come back on Monday for their Beer Specials......I don't think anything should get wrong just ordering a beer?
Patio is full of smokers, they should start having non smoking section even on the patio!! -

Good bar, good patio, typical franchise chain food. I have no complaints. Waitresses are good looking too.

Atmosphere isn't bad, as long as you like loud music while your eating. I've been to this location several times and I've noticed the quality of food has really gone down, and I'm not all that impressed with the service any more either.
For the same money, or even less.....lots of better choices out there. -

One of the most chic interiors I've seen for a chain, but also the worst steak I've had in my life. It was just horrible. If it were not for the cool bathrooms and decor, this would be a 1.

I hate to give it this many stars because it took such a big chunk out of my wallet the night I visited but you have to hand it to Moxies their restaurants are consistently awesome.
Aside from every waitress being gorgeous, they also provide relatively good service. We did find ourselves waiting a few times but it was okay because we just sat and watched the lovely ladies prancing about doing their thing :P
The food was really good also. I was there on a secret shopper mission with a friend so I decided to go all out. I ordered a steak, a side skewer of mushrooms (which is not what I thought it was), and a amaretto sour (moxy-sized). Steak was delicious, nothing special though. The skewer of mushrooms was not like a shish-kabob of mushrooms rather a whole little pan of them! And the moxy-size Amaretto sour was a well made (giant) drink.
Best part of Moxies: the cozy-a$$ washrooms! They come with TV's at every urinal and a fireplace! That being on top of the fact that they are incredibly clean and just generally beautiful works of art.
Moxies is living proof of once of my favorite concepts: if you command respect you will receive respect. That is exactly what they do. -

I really liked the calamari mediterranean salad I ordered here. Huge serving. I felt like I consumed a whole bag of salad. Haha... Can't go wrong w/ mixed greens, spinach, feta, and a tasty balsamic vinaigrette. The brocolli cheese soup wasn't bad either.
Midway through dinner, the lights dimmed, and that made things a little weird for a sec. I was just glad to have my food at that point. I would've needed to whip out my phone for some light to read the menu.
I'm also quite partial to the starters here. They're decent servings & could be a meal for one if you just happened to come in for a quick meal & a drink. (note, the drinks are gooood). i recommend the wasabi tuna tartare & the three dip med bread.
Like most Moxies, this place is well maintained & decorated. It's always poppin'. I like that you can "be loud" in this kind of restaurant. I don't mean screaming... but you can carry a friendly conversation, laugh, and not feel self-conscious about it whether you're in the dining room or at the bar. -

Went here for dinner with my cousins. It was a Thursday. It was $5.99 Martini night. I forget how much of a savings that was, but it was not that large. We had nachos, bruschetta, and sweet potato fries for appetizers. Between 6 people, it was enough. For dinner, I had the beef vindaloo. It was pretty good. It wasn't amazing. I think I should have added some chili sauce. Our server was okay. He seemed a little out of it at times, but I guess it was getting more busy as the night went on. Looked like a popular after work place to be. Had an outdoor patio with smoking. I don't remember the prices, but it was pretty average for a chain restaurant bar/grill.

Moxie's is one of the better places to have dinner, check out the eye candy and have a beer or a mixed drink without getting ripped off. This is one of the better franchises here in Canada. The bar tender was excellent. None of this " I can't pour you a drink" crap. I asked for a White Russian and I go that a stiff well poured drink without that Toronto attitude. I had a pizza with Asparagus and goat cheese. This combination was exceptional. A few drinks later, some engaging conversation with the bar tender and a few of the beautiful waitresses and I feel the value was way above average. Great place to get some dinner with your bud or girlfriend.

Always a great restaurant!! Food is fresh (get the Kitsilano sandwich - its perfect I must figure out the seasoning on the chicken!) and I love when I say no cheese on anything they actually ask preference or allergy WOW! I hate cheese and say no everywhere I go and most of of the time that doesn't work. It's a common allergy so I don't know why they ignore such a small request I can't be the only one but still, only restaurant to ever wow me plus its great prices (most meals less than 14 dollars) and you can get dressed up or wear sexy jeans (try to keep it nice not too casual - its no Pizza Hut lol) and have a great time!. I have been to this location in Thornhill since I live in Markham, the one in Guelph (U of G my alma matter) I had my wedding rehearsal dinner in the private room at the North York Sheppard location (only one with a room - I recommend!) and made my own pre-set menu to minimize costs, I had like 8 entre choices that were 9-14 dollars which was perfect! Kept 20 people fed for less than $1000 after tax and tip :)
