  • I went on a date here on Sunday night and I was in immediate awe of how beautiful this restaurant is. The decor, the lighting, the furniture, and all the accents had me looking around and catching something new every time I shifted my eyes. The lights were a little dimmer than I prefer but I guess that's supposed to compliment the ambiance. The restaurant wasn't busy at all so we were seated very quickly and our server promptly approached us. He went over the menu and left giving us time to decide on drinks. We settled on just water to start and the Honey Garlic wings for an app. I read through the menu a first time taking in pretty much everything that was written describing each dish however nothing was immediately appetizing. I gave the menu a few more glance overs and finally settled on the Shrimp Linguine, an unusual choice for me as I never order pasta in a restaurant. My date kept it simple with The Burger and fries. The wings took no time to come out and while I didn't love them, I didn't hate them like my date did. The wings are a bit on the smaller size but very crispy which I actually like, however there is nothing honey garlic about this flavor. Yes, the flavor itself is good but it is NOT honey garlic. I didn't mind the wings, he hated them. The Shrimp Linguine is served with half a baby lobster tail in a tomato sauce and is beautifully plated and presented. It's a shame that this is where its awe factor ends. We eat with our eyes first and since it looks so beautiful on the plate I took that first bite expecting to be wowed. I wasn't. The dish was completely bland and lacked any flavor. I had to season it heavily with salt and pepper at least 3 times before it tasted like something. Once I did adjust the seasoning it was just an ok dish. The only pretty good thing was the portion size since I only managed about half of it at dinner I had the rest for lunch the next day. As I mentioned, he kept it simple with The Burger and fries and unfortunately hated both. In all fairness I should mention that he is a picky eater. Having said this though based on this meal he did state this is the one and only time he would be at Moxies. I tasted only the fries and they were ok, really nothing special. I didn't try the burger but I have to imagine it must be really bad when a big dude leaves literally three quarters of it uneaten. We each had a bellini and could not figure out why in the world they throw a frog looking thing right on top of the drink! It's edible but tastes awful and by the time we got to the bottom of our drink the frog was deformed and looked like just a clump of melted wax in the bottom of the glass. Please stop ruining a fine drink with this ridiculous thing. I've always loved the white chocolate brownie not only because it's so tasty but because it gives me nostalgia as it takes me back to the days when I used to go to Moxies almost every weekend with my girlfriends in high school. I was excited to introduce him to one of my favorite desserts since it was his very first time at Moxies but after how disappointed he was with his meal I couldn't even bring myself to suggesting it to him. The restaurant itself is gorgeous but the food doesn't quite measure up. We were pretty disappointed and for this reason our future dates probably won't be at Moxies.
