My bachelor party crew and I literally stumbled into Moxies after striking out at Escondito (3 hour wait). There was no wait and we were seated upstairs at a high top table. I'm not sure how long Moxies has been here, but everything looked brand new and up to date, down to the decor.
Food was excellent. We polished off 2 calamari apps in no time. I got the street tacos, which were excellent. Another guy got the honey garlic steak which apparently was as good as advertised.
Quirky thing about their drinks: they offer to Moxie-size your drink (increase from 1 ounce to 2). Sounded pretty funny the first couple times the absolutely gorgeous waitress said it.
Very friendly for tourists as their menu has English and French sections. Staff were very friendly and looked like they all came from fashion show runway.
I have no idea what the locals think of Moxies, but I loved it.
