Do not eat here unless you like frozen, boxed food, or just like crappy overpriced food (sorry if I offended). The service is so slow and watching the waitresses makes me even more annoyed. No one came over and asked how things were, we had to each time flag her down. I don't understand why a chain restaurant can't run as smooth as say Terroni (any location) and Gusto; just to name a few. There was 12 of us and we ordered:
Calamari (2 orders) - over cooked first off and there were so many small bits they were just gross since over cooked and tiny. There is a BT which stands for moxie's executive chef - brandon thordarson draws on his international training & his love of world cuisine to fuel his passion for fresh contemporary dishes. Moxie's need to get there staff in check because this is a JOKE!
haddock with lemon quinoa | sautéed kale leaves, edamame beans & fresh herb chimichurri - Again there was a BT beside this dish. Gross! The fish didn't taste fresh at all and over cooked. I had no clue where this chimichurri was on the dish. I love chimichurri too but didn't see any. The whole dish was a flop really. The lemon part was a small slice of lemon on the side I guess for me to squeeze on the dish. LOL!
Nachos - double cheese nachos - those weren't good either. I think there should of been layers of cheese.
dry ribs - tasted like dry deep fried jerky
grilled fish tacos - fish was not fresh or even portion in each taco. Also the lettuce slaw (if thats what they call it) was not fresh tasting either. I also didn't taste any of the valentina hot sauce because it was more mayo based. They were gross.
Wild mushroom pizza - was ok thank goodness.
sirloin with compound prawn & lobster butter | 7 oz cab® sirloin with chorizo, baby potato & corn hash with chimichurri - was ok but still poorly executed. Steak wasn't that great so good thing there was that butter on top. Again where was the chimichurri?!
Burger - was good finally something good!
Stay away from chain restaurants in my opinion. This city has so many other opinions that are way better than Moxie's, Jack Astors, etc.
