| - The Moxies at Yorkdale Mall is usually pretty crowded. Be prepared to wait anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour to get a table. The big problem with this location is that the waiting area is too small, and there aren't enough seats to accommodate the people that are waiting to get a table. It's particularly bad on Friday and Saturday nights. Most of the time, you'll have to stand there in the middle of the reception area, hoping you're not blocking the entrance to the dinning area. You can choose to roam the mall until you think it's time to get your table, but you run the risk of being called while you are away, and losing your spot.
Why do I keep going back to Moxies? Well here's my list of things to like:
(1) Great location: you can shop, dine, and catch a late night movie all in one place!
(2) Atmosphere. It's a fun restaurant. I usually sit in the lounge area where you catch a sports game while you eat. The booths are private and comfortable. The restaurant is also very nicely decorated; everything is modern and hip.
(3) Affordable. My usual meal (1 appetizer, 2 entrees, 1 dessert and 2 drinks) is under $80 bucks.
(4) Potstickers. It's probably one of my favorite appetizers ever. I don't know what I'll do if they ever decide to take it off the menu.
Now onto the important stuff: food and service!
Food
I've only tried two of their appetizers: the aforementioned Potstickers, and their skillet mushrooms. I'm a big fan of both.
The main entrees are usually pretty consistent. To be honest, it depends on what you order. I find that their pasta dishes are always good. I don't recommend ordering their steaks; they usually overcook them. The meat is not the best, either.
I rarely order dessert, but when I do, I usually get their white chocolate brownie. It's pretty good, but nothing to call home about.
Their drinks are a hit or miss. It depends on the bartender. If you are picky when it comes to your drinks, you're better off ordering wine or beer. I wouldn't order their Margaritas; they are quite terrible.
Service
It really depends on how busy the restaurant is. I've never had to wait too long to get my food at this location. Waiters are friendly and attentive, though dressed in skimpy outfits. Definitely not a good place to take your kids.
I've been a fan of Moxies for a long time, and I've yet to have a bad meal at this location. I know some of the reviews are very negative, but you should give this place a try. If you tend to like chain restaurants like Chili's, The Keg, etc, odds are you won't be disappointed.
