Going to a chain restaurant is something I do when I just can't decide or I don't want a long drive into the 416. Moxies is a place that offers a modern vibe, with a fairly diverse menu to please most people.
This evening was the "let's go somewhere close" excuse as we dined here at the Woodbridge location.
We ordered the calamari app to share, and three different salads as mains since we were all feeling the urge to try and be healthy, albeit I did order a beer while my two friends ordered water!
The calamari came with shrimp and fires jalapeƱos and two dips, the flavour was good but for $14 the portion size was rather disappointing, maybe they realized we were trying to be healthy and cut back on the portion to help us.
My salad was the asian blend and was enough to satisfy my hunger, the other two were well portioned and again all tasted great. Now I know some are probably reading this and saying the salads aren't always healthy, and they would be right! Moxies does provide the calorie count alongside each dish and yes I believe my salad was about 1000 calories. So for those dieters, this info will aid you in picking the appropriate dish.
The service was okay, it could have be a little bit more attentive and more lively. I notch that up to the server probably being less experienced.
Overall an okay experience for a place I don't really go to for dinner, just drink specials and apps. See you again at patio season.
