    Tried eating here 2 years ago, but couldn’t get in. So glad we made reservations this trip! Ethan our server was great, as was the Bimini bread, the pork filet, petit filet, asparagus, mashed potatoes, and the wine. I also had a whisky creek rye cocktail and my wife had a Negroni. Both were delicious. We will be back!

    Great service. Great ambiance. Great starters lobster crab bisque. The steak Tartare in the past was great. This time terrible. Cooked egg rather than raw- possibly due to liability issues but lack of capers / significant spices inexcusable. Ground rather than chopped beef . Explanation was that the tartare was prepared “ Caribbean style “ which was funny to me and my Haitian table mate since we know nobody in the Caribbean eats raw beef - even rare. Great spot. But don’t order the steak Tartare

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moxie and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for the evening. The decor strikes the perfect balance between modern and cozy, with soft lighting and thoughtfully arranged seating that encourages relaxation and conversation. The food was nothing but perfect al the dishes was sharable and each bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and attention to detail. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was impressive without being pretentious. The service was another highlight. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home. Whether you’re looking for a spot for a romantic dinner, a celebration, or just a great meal out, Moxie is a fantastic choice. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!
