Well, I'm back to Yelping. I really didn't have anything to Yelp about. Until now... My wife and my anniversary was 9/16. Not being the most astute "man about town" we haled our Facebook friend base for suggestions for a celebratory dinner. While we had several suggestions, one place was mentioned several times...Moxie.
Ambiance - I was expecting something stuffy but was pleasantly surprised by open ceilings, sleek metal on wood decor, with an exposed kitchen area. The kitchen was a beehive of 20 something chefs making it all happen. Very nice vibe..!
Service - This is a reservations are needed kind of place. We were greeted very pleasantly and seated promptly. Our most excellent waitress, Stacey, helped us navigate the unfamiliar menu with great care and without condescension. They also presented the flowers (that I ordered previously) to my wife with sincerity for our celebration. Just the right amount of attention was paid to us while we dined.
Food - Whoa! My wife and I both commented how everything on our plate BURST with flavor. While not subtle the flavors weren't overpowering and added to the very vivid taste experience. I had perfectly prepared scallops! At the time I didn't notice what my wife had. I'm afraid I had already strapped on the feed bag. However, She did say her halibut was indeed fantastic. As an appetizer we had the calamari. We both declared it was the best we ever had. The dessert came "on the house" which was a nice touch. It was a piping hot brownie in a cup with chilled whipped cream on top. I'm not much of a dessert guy, but his was gooooood.
Value - Eh.. I would have liked to spend less, but not at the expense of the great experience. It's not an everyday thing for me and for those in my tax bracket, but I was not in least disappointed. No buyer's remorse here! We'll be back for the next VERY special occasion.
