Since my group didn't have an affordable way to get to downtown Saturday night, we decided to stay local near our airport hotel. I was sick of horrible hotel food so good food was needed. One of the locals we were hanging out with suggested we check out Moxie since the spot was still open past midnight and was nearby. The restaurant side of Moxie was pretty dead but that was fine since our group was looking for an intimate spot where we could actually hear ourselves. The spot was pretty cute though they need to have better music selection; they were playing top 40/teen queen/sugar pop music, which doesn't really mesh well. I may suggest downtempo/lounge music.
One friend ordered the avocado spring rolls, which were just okay. Another ordered the dry ribs, which were also just okay and they reminded me of Taiwanese pork chops. I shared the Mediterranean calamari salad minus the feta, that was pretty tasty, but when is fried foods not? I also ordered the seasonal pulled pork sliders which were really good. I also shared one of the mojito drinks, which would have been better if they had muddled the mint leaves. The chocolate espresso mouse was just okay, I've had better. The blackberry apple crisp on puff pastry was much better.
Staff was decent, though it take awhile for the staff to notice we were waiting. The restrooms...I mean washrooms were quite nice looking. A place to check out and stay sane if you're stuck near the airport.
