This is one of our go-to restaurants, and we have never been let down by the food or the service. It can sometimes be loud, but I don’t find there is any restaurant / bar around that is quiet! If you haven’t been, you should give it a try!

We were taking friends out to dinner last night as a Thank You and wanted something more than just food... we wanted a lovely evening filled with great conversation, wonderful food, lots of laughs and some live entertainment. Well, SJG hit it out of the park last night!! We were able to get the best seats in the house, had some yummy drinks to start, followed by 4 scrumptious meals. And then the fun started!! Chris Colepaugh was outstanding!! He was so personable and welcoming and we truly appreciated his inclusion, which made for a memorable night for all of us. Chris's ability to play such a wide genre of music kept us all on our toes for suggestions. He encouraged us to sing along and we felt like friends by the end of the night. His talent, while it's definitely his amazing voice and extraordinary guitar playing ability, it's also his ability to make you feel like he's playing just for you, and that's he's having as much fun as you are!! Thank you SJG and Chris Colepaugh for an absolutely fantastic night!! We will be back, soon!! Cathy and Gaston with Peggy and Rick

Service was excellent. Seating is very comfortable. Food is generally high quality but zen chicken bowl had too much sauce making the rice soggy ( this is a repetitive issue, but only at this Moxie’s location). Lights a little too low. Overall a very good experience.

Service was quick, food was good, price was reasonable. Had the 1 piece Brown Bag fish and chips. Tasty and fresh. Ordered the Raspberry Sour for a beverage, it is light and not too sour. Waitress was attentive, service was quick, restaurant is clean and inviting.

The service was phenomenal, it was a normal amount of time to wait for a meal and appetizers. The music was awesome, there was something It was so upbeat that we caught ourselves dancing at the table. It was really good honestly. Pricewise it’s a little expensive but I don’t mind paying for something that’s worth paying for. Keep up the customer service because that is a big one for us and we will continue to come!
