| - This was both an embarrassing and funny group lunch...
First thing you need to know is that there are only two of us girls at our department at the office. It is a male-dominated group.
Second thing is management occasionally treats the office to lunches and dinners as a treat and the staff discusses where to go for an hour in advance...
So, in advance of our group lunch the VP asked where everyone wants to go and to no ones surprise Earls, Cactus Club and the Duke pubs were popular choices...why? The women of course.... someone suggested that we should change things up and go to Moxie's which apparently has "top shelf" "10/10" models in super short skirts and mini dresses, so on and so forth (lol - and we girls are just listening, reading the emails that are going back and forth and laughing) and our VP thought it is a great idea because he has always liked Moxie's and so it was decided....
First, this Moxie's is newer, has a very nice front entrance and similarly nice interior. it is spacious and comprised of different sections. One can sit in the dining or lounge sections...
We ended up in the dining section and the hostess efficiently rearranged things and moved things around and placed the group in the centre of the dining section across from the bar with no fuss.
Unfortunately for the group the hostess was dressed in a regular cargo pants or something, which is just fine if you are there to eat and focus on food and the team let that pass, but when the waitress also showed up wearing pants the team was openly groaning and making jokes about it, which is the embarrassing part. I am 99% sure the waitress heard the guys complain and loudly discuss with each other that the waitresses are disappointing them and are in fact looking... boring or something. It was embarrassing and funny to have the waitress dropping off menus and overhear half a dozen guys complain that Moxie's is not good anymore and has gone downhill. Wow. Anyway, the waitress was professional and pretended not to have heard a thing and provided good service. To tip less... Apparently, the uniform at the restaurant is black pants even for the girl behind the bar, which was a topic of conversation.
Apparently, the team won't be coming back, but what about everything else? The washroom was clean and well stocked. Like every other Moxie's I have been to it was modern and well designed. There is a fake fireplace at the entrance and the lights are dim.
The food was what you expect. The surprises or original creations are rare but they are happy to customize and make substitutions for you. I had the taco pokes and was disappointed because they had no taste whatsoever. The tacos shells were lined with something green (pesto perhaps?), but were it not for the hot sauce container included it would have been plain vanilla eating... speaking of the hot sauce container it was a nice touch sitting on the plate - assuming it was clean. See my photo. The Tomato Bisque soup was average, nothing special and could have used a little more taste. The waitress recommended drinks' special and I think the team didn't want to linger or stay long any more so passed. No special menu items were available or suggested so everyone ordered different items.
Prices seemed average and everything on the menu has calories attached in parenthesis which is very good. We should all pay attention to it.
