| - Ewww...one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. I've been to Moxie's at Yorkdale Mall a couple years ago and had the worst experience there. Three years later, I thought I would give this place a chance to redeem themselves.
I visited the University Avenue location thinking that being downtown, their standards might be better. I was surprised that they actually had seats a day before St. Patrick's Day. We were immediately seated which surprised me on a busy Friday evening. It was packed in the dining room but the bar area was quite crowded. It's very dimly lit. The music was your standard Top 40 with some throwbacks. The female washrooms here are quite open. It's not private at all and for a second walking into it, it felt like the guys washroom.
Our waitress took couple minutes coming to us. I ordered water with no ice. From this first order, I had a feeling that it was not going to be a pleasant night. My water of course came with ice. It was sent back. I ordered a simple Caesar salad that came with no bread. I really love chicken wings so I went for the chicken wings with sweet chilli sauce. Some time later, my salad gets put in front of me - with bread. My chicken wings comes without any sauce. I sit and wait while my friend starts eating her southwest fried chicken burger. My salad comes back- this time with no bread. The wings are infront of me and looks delicious. I was disappointed before I began that there was no bucket for my bones and no wet napkins. Was I supposed to put my bones on the table? There was no extra saucer or dish for those bones.
I'm into my second wing, I notice it is pink. I tried another and decided not to eat those wings. It was definitely undercooked. The wings were not grand by any means in flavour. I return the wings and ordered a side of sweet potatoes. The salad was also very salty. Caesar is such a simple thing to prepare and I was definitely disappointed. It felt like a grade school level cook prepared my food at this point. This ruined my dining experience. However, the sweet potato fries were delicious. I really liked the dipping sauce. It was tangy and the fries were well seasoned and coated. I really enjoyed them.
The server that brought my fries out apologized for the bad wings and indicated that they will take care of my fries. This made me order dessert. This was the redeeming dish for me at this place. I ordered the mini salted caramel pecan cheesecake. Hmmm, I could eat a whole lot of this cheesecake. I was surprised it came with three blackberries, peach slices on top and a raspberry reduction. I expected pecans but I was glad there was none. This cheesecake is a must for everyone to try. It was so rich and decadent.
Overall, I would not visit here again. It was a bad dining experience and after those wings I was feeling queasy. I wish to thank management for not charging me for those wings and sweet potato fries. Also, it was nice that the waitress apologized. Definitely try the pecan cheesecake if you're visiting here but Moxie's is a no go for me in the future.
