| - I have to say I have such a Love / Hate relationship, no matter how badly they treat me I can't help but keep coming back! Anyhow this particular Saturday I came here both for breakfast and dinner!
Brunch - Served on weekends only
Service - Hostess was super friendly and fun to talk to, our waitress was slow and definitely not the brightest blub. There was only another table of two dining with us on the lounge side however she still managed to never check on us and required 2x reminders to refill our drinks.
Food however was surprisingly good!
Pancetta and Peppered Havarti Benedict w/hollandaise, rösti potatoes + fresh fruit
First off my egg was slightly overcooked however I really enjoyed the pairing of the havarti and pancetta and the hollandaise sauce was surprisingly really good too! What I also liked was the benedict was served on a thin slice of toasted baugette. Plus I did enjoy the tiny diced rosti potatoes mixed with fresh cut red and green onions
Sicilian sausage hash w/poached eggs topped with hollandaise, with rösti potatoes + multi-grain toast
My sister ordered this and I got to steal a few bites, her egg also was slightly overcooked. However we both really enjoyed the Sicilian sausage, overall another pretty great dish
Dinner
Packed as usual on a Saturday night, however our family of 5 was seated in a about 15 minutes despite the quoted 30 minute wait.
Service- Our waiter, a male, was super friendly and amazing service, a drink never went empty plates cleared promptly, and always there to check in on us, I think the male servers here are far better than the female ones!
Appetizer
Avocado Spring Rolls w/ sweet chili sauce - Came out golden brown, love that creamy avocado filling plus it does pack some heat so that sweet chili sauce is a perfect balance.
For mains one of my favs are the fish tacos however today I opted for something from the Spring Seasonal Menu
Smoked meat sandwich on rye with dijon mustard & a crisp kosher pickle + Sweet potato fries
This Sandwich was Hugeeee, they really did stack it high! The meat was soo fresh tasting, perfectly spiced, love marble rye and they served it was a side of hot mustard and a giant pickle. I hope they put it on there regular menu! Love the sweet potato fries also and they served it with a dipping sauce that has sort of a mild curry taste to it but I enjoyed it too!
Other Orders included:
Ginger Teriyaki Rice Bowl w/Szechuan vegetables & chicken
Beautiful presentation, Mom asked for it hot and they definitely delivered!
Shanghai Noodles w/shiitake mushrooms & baby bok choy in a ginger garlic sauce & prawns
Again Beautiful presentation, Dad loved this dish he also asked for it hot was surprised that they actually succeeded!
Roast Beef Dip - house-roasted beef, sauteed mushrooms & swiss cheese on baguette with au jus + fries
Veal meatballs stuffed w/bocconcini over linguine in a tomato sauce with fresh basil
Overall Everyone loved there dishes and every plate was left spotless!
For Desserts we just ordered a Variety and Shared
Warm callebaut chocolate cake - baked with cacao liqueur, served with callebaut granola almond bark & french vanilla ice cream
Found this cake sort of dry, was expecting a fudgier cake
Mini mousse - callebaut espresso mousse with house baked biscotti
Love the pairing of chocolate and coffee perfect serving if you want a smaller dessert
Sticky toffee pudding - warm, with toasted almonds, buttery caramel sauce & french vanilla ice cream
My brother devoured this in no time before all of us could sample it. He declared it as the best dessert he's ever had so I take it was really good!
Overall this has to be the best experience I've ever had at Moxie's to date! Maybe there improving....I hope it holds true.
