We had a reservation for Mother’s Day - 8 people in Pickering. 1. Service was quite slow, in general. 2. Timing of entrees was 15 minutes apart. Perhaps we are old fashioned, but we wait for everyone to be served before eating to be respectful of each other. 3. Quality of steak was poor with the Steak Frites. (Very sinewy). Another order was completely wrong. 4. Waited 20 minutes to get the bill. Restaurant was not overly busy and our server was wandering around cleaning tables, etc. We finally asked, then it took another 10 minutes. 5. General cleanliness was not to spec, in my opinion. Floor dirty, banquettes looked rough, tables sticky, etc. 6. Had a reservation for 8 people and when we arrived they told us they would have trouble “fitting us all in”. Odd to take a reservation then suggest it would be tough to make it happen. (Especially when the restaurant was not at capacity.) We eventually got seated quite nicely, so not sure what the “fit” comment was about. It didn’t start with a welcoming feeling, to be honest. Overall, I realize Moxie’s is not meant to be a high-end experience, but a few of the basics were certainly missed. It definitely could have been much better. On a positive note, the semi-outdoor patio space was nice and comfortable.

The service was the best part. The food was just OK. The restaurant was loud when we got there, but then a hockey game started and I couldn't hear myself think, let alone have a conversation! We did not expect this type of restaurant to be a sports bar! We couldn't get out fast enough. Very disappointing, will not be back.

Moxie’s is usually a go-to but I didn’t love it this time. TV was so loud the bass is the sports announcer’s voice hurt my ears, waitress was slow to check on us, my usual bowl was so over-dressed and wet that me and my friend both didn’t finish them. Not sure if they were just “off” that night or what, but I think I need to try a new spot next time.

Went there for a date night with my other half, moderately busy at 8:45 pm. Food was ok, but service was garbage. I would have ordered at least two more drinks if the waiter had even come by to ask. The plates from our appetizers weren’t cleared through the entire meal, they were still there even after we finished the main. My empty glass (from my first drink) sat at the edge of the table, with no service.

Again they were out of the main ingredient for the vegan tacos. While the server was friendly, we were never asked if we’d like another drink or dessert. After our dishes were cleared we waited for over half an hour before she was close enough for us to ask for the bill. The music made casual conversation difficult. Yes it was Friday, but at 6:00 you don’t expect it to be that loud. More & more lately I find Pickering Moxies just not all of that. Sad because for years it was my go to.

Great food as always, service was friendly & efficient but the music made casual conversation difficult. Could be just the dinner time level but it could be down a few notches. A little surprised at the markup on the wine. I know there’s always is, but $40 for a $10 bottle of wine?? Ouch. Other than that, a good time at Moxies
