| - I usually don't go to franchised restaurants (like Moxie's, Milestones Jack Astor's, etc), but it was getting late and the kids (both under the age of 2) were hungry. They seated us quickly in an enclosed area with bench seats. My 22-month-old didn't want to sit in the highchair and managed quite well sitting beside me for the entire dinner. The restaurant was quite loud, but that's expected on a Friday night.
Food: I ordered from the fixed price menu, Cesar salad with lots of bacon, could use a bit more dressing, mushroom sirloin with a double baked potato (like the one at the Keg), finished off with a half portion of the salted caramel and pecan cheesecake (it was dried out on top, but the bottom made with crushed pecans was delicious!). My hubby ordered the peppercorn steak with an added side of shrimp, both were cooked perfectly. The shrimp was a fair size and my daughter gobbled them up!
Re. Drinks - must try their pomergranate beet soda (I ordered the pineapple lemon one first, but that tasted like medicine to me).
Our server was super attentive, and was accomodating with my daughter. Our empty/dirty plates were constantly cleared out and our server came by to ask if everything was alright several times.
All in all, I was pleasantly surprised at this Moxie's and will definitely return with my young family! The children's menu was great too, my daughter had the chicken bites (fresh, chicken was soft, batter was not overpowering), that came with unlimited drinks (she had milk) and ice cream (served with dry ice!)
