| - Another somewhat higher-end chain restaurant which originates out west. Places such as: Cactus Club, Earl's, The Keg, Milestones and Joey's all seem to be thriving out here and were a bit ahead of the curve in offering more eclectic fusion-based, slightly higher-end menus and hipper atmosphere than most of the chain restaurants that had been established earlier. Even 10 years ago when I was just visiting the area, there wasn't much available outside the downtown core other than Kelsey's, Jack Astor's and Swiss, etc...
With that preamble out of the way, Moxie's is very nicely decorated - and automatically one of the nicer restaurants in town by virtue of little competition in that regard.
Service on the night I was there was comfortably a 5. We informed our server we were a bit rushed and she accommodated us all along the way. My wife chose a wine she ended up not really enjoying, and they took it back without complaint. The waitress then provided 3 samples to help her make her choice. I wish I could remember the server's name, because she deserves an honourable mention.
The menu was diverse and I went of a southwestern-flavoured chicken dish and my wife had ribs. The ribs were great and my meal was good though I feel it could've had more spice.
I would say value was the low point, and they've seem to have gone up another level in terms of price range. I think they're food offerings have also gone up in quality (and cost) but the jump was still higher than I expected. I doubt they're worried about it however, since it was 3/4 full on a Thursday.
A nice place which has something for everyone and really not a great deal of competition in Brampton.
