Would I come again? Maybe if it's the most convenient place for a group meal.
It's Moxie's, so there's a dependable standard of food and prices. Because I wasn't very hungry, I opted for a salad and as salads at American restaurants tend to be, it was very expensive. My salmon and avocado cobb salad was $17.75 before tax and tip. I get that they kind of stacked things that typically jack up the price at any restaurant (salmon, bacon, eggs, avocado), but the essence of the dish is very simple. It straddles the line between too expensive and reasonable because the piece of salmon was decently sized, but you realize that the things on top disguise how the lettuce underneath is just an eighth of a head of lettuce. Conflicted.
You get a bit of lettuce on the bottom, feta(?), cherry tomatoes, avocado, egg, salmon, and bacon. To be honest, it was tasty. The dressing was a bit overpowering and there was maybe too much cheese or the chunks were too big. The salmon was moist, bacon crispy, eggs soft. Dressing aside, everything went well together. The avocado was a tad overripe as you can see it was beginning to get spotty, but it tasted fine.
The atmosphere and restaurant setup was nice. I enjoyed the dim lighting with lights at the individual tables. Bright enough near the center of the table that you can see everything you're eating clearly and dim enough everywhere else that you can lean back and relax in the "shade" a bit.
Service was outstanding. Our server was Darek and he balanced checking up on us and giving us our space perfectly. I've also never had someone replace our water so many times without us asking. After we finished eating, we stayed for quite a while to chat and catch up, and we never got the impression from Darek that he wanted us gone. Even while we were just chatting, he replaced our waters a few times without us asking, which is rare because most waiters ignore you after your meal is done; they just want you to pay and leave. He was fantastic.
The prices make me hesitate a little and the options aren't that exciting, but the food is dependable, service was excellent, and the location is really convenient.
