I was excited to find out that a new Moxie's was being built in this location. It is located outside of Pickering Town Centre, and shares the same parking lot. This location has the same concept as other Moxies' with a lounge and dining area but it also has an outside dining area, which I'm looking forward to use during the summer.
My family and I went on a Wednesday evening, and we were all surprised that it was packed. Although we made reservations ahead of time for the dining room area, we were seated in the lounge/bar. It was quite busy so we didn't get a chance to meet our server right away so the manager/owner greeted us, which I thought was a nice touch.
It took over 10mins to get our appetizer, the Bruschetta, which was barely warm, but I still enjoyed it. I ordered the Quesadilla which came with really spicy salsa and a chipotle mayo and a side of spring salad. The Quesadilla wasn't the best that I've had and I really missed the typical sour cream that normally accompanies Quesadillas.
My family enjoyed their meals, but weren't extremely excited over it. Moxie's does have higher prices but the large portions can fill you up for dinner and still have enough for a take-away for lunch the next day!
