Moxie’s Grill & Bar

I went there for dinner the other night. I think that as far as business casual goes they are in the top 3. The restuarant itself is gorgeous, the food is great and there is evidently good staff training.

It’s a moxie’s. This one has good service and it’s a nice layout being connected to the hotel. It’s the moxie’s closest to the airport so I’ve had plenty a meeting here. Not bad, service could be a bit faster, but not bad at all. Can’t rate it much higher given that its’ a franchise.

This place my friends is hiding with the area of the Airport. I went their for a work colleagues birthday during lunch time. The service was ok as our server didn’t show up so someone had to take over which caused a bit of a delay but never mind that the other server was very pleasant and friendly. The service was good, food came out warm, we were greeted at the gate and were checked once the food was being eaten.
I ordered their fish tacos. I was a bit scared but the tacos were quite good and the right size. You get about 3 tacos and I took fries as the side. The food was enjoyable.

Moxies restaurant and bar. Great location to chill. Good customer service, our waitress was both friendly and helpful. Food was hot and delicious. Definitely will go back.

The quality of food is pretty consistent and there is a good variety on the menu. My favorite is the salmon salad and any of their appetizers.
Special kuddos to the bartender Racquel for making me unsweetened iced tea, which strangely enough you cannot get anywhere in Canadian restaurants.

A great little Moxie’s tucked away in the back of the Sandman Hotel. Expect the expected but welcome the location in a relatively desolate food area.

This seems to be the ultimate sausage-​fest Moxie’s. As close to the airport as it is every businessman in the province seems to hang out here and try to flirt with the girls (some of the prettiest I’ve seen in the chain, by the way). The bar is normally littered with guys in suits and men hoping to get a wink from women 10 – 30 years younger than them. It’s defintely great people watching and the staff does a great job at stroking their ego. Personally, I sit in the restaurant rather than the bar to avoid this scene.
This Moxie’s is no doubt a great place to come kill time before a flight, however. You’ll find great service, lots of attractive women and better than average food. A fewer than five minutes from the terminal it’s a great spot to drive in early to avoid GTA traffic and relax.
As for the food, no one can argue it’s far better than everything else within a five minute radius of the airport. On this last visit I ordered a starter salad and the Haddock, which is always a great dish. Realistically, there isn’t anything on the menu that isn’t good. They do a great job at delivering quality entrees here.

My coworkers and I frequent moxies for lunch and would have to say it’s fairly consistent. The last time I went; the service took so long! Our server did not pay attention to detail. It was requested for no bacon on the salad for my coworker; she asked if it was for personal reasons or for an allergy? After stating that it was a personal choice, she still brought the food covered in bacon. Menu items such as the baked potato and the white chocolate brownie took her approx 10 minutes each time (no joke) to return to the table to say they don’t have anymore at the moment. The plus side to all of this was; the owner knew I was there for my birthday and was looking forward to the white chocolate brownie & gave me a $ 15 gift card to come back for the brownie. In terms of their food, I’ve never had any complaints with how it tasted. Their mushroom ravioli is to die for!

This is what’s left of the dinner appies that we had. Had the Dry-​Rub Ribs which were pretty decent. Also had the Mosaic Dip which was absolutely amazing. The dip was hot & gooy & delicious. This place is close to the airport but a little out of the way. I didn’t try any other food but I’m sure it’s good.

For me personally, this Moxies location tends to be the spot for lunch gatherings with my office mates, or for after-​office work events.
At the entrance, I’m greeted by lovely Moxies hosts who escort you to an open table at either the bar or dinning area (depending on your preference). Today I met up with a group of colleagues to celebrate a buddy’s birthday, we were seated in the dinning area beside the windows looking out onto the patio. Great open space, with modern décor.
The amount of times I’ve been to This particular Moxies, I can happily say their food is consistent. I’ve tried a wide variety of their appys, and mains. If you’re looking for some great bites, the Potstickers will do the trick (disregard my Asian bias), Lettuce wraps, Dry Ribs, and the Mosaic Dip (highly under rated– must try).
I’ve been on a health kick lately, so I ordered the Asian Chop Salad. I love the medley of vegetables in this salad mix– edamame, Asian cabbage, cilantro, sliced carrots, grilled chicken, tossed in a creamy sesame salad dressing and topped with wonton crisps… could this be considered comfort food?
Customer service… this time around, I believe we had a newer waitress service the table. Nothing horrible to say, just a little slower.
Overall– great spot, good eats = happy customer

Aaaaamaazing. Jamal our waiter was the best waiter I’ve ever had. So personable, knowledgeable, and funny! Food was good. Service was fast. Greeted promptly. What more do you need?

Waiter very kind, the food a little bit far from what we requested, a friend of mine wanted soup and New York medium well and they didn’t bring the soup and the meat was well done, by the time they took for serve he decided to keep it.
Very clean.
For the price and the taste a bit higher the expectation for what we paid.

Must try on your list the calamari and lettuce wraps. the rack of ribs are good reminds me of chills back in the states.

Moxie’s has been a go to for work meeting for a long time. I took a customer here today for quarterly meeting. This location is always great because the staff that work there are always friendly and responsive plus the food is also amazing. I had the beef vindaloo and my client had the regular burger and a soup. Both of our meals came out quickly and tasted great. I would have to say that the food seems to get better every time I come to this location.

Good service but not the best food in the area.
They advertise as a premium restaurant with great service, warm atmosphere and great food. This is located near the airport and during the week will attract business travellers (mostly men) and can create a warm vibrant environment. In the bar area (dimly lit) you will found TVs and patrons chatting away. It is great if you are dining as a group or by yourself. The wait staff provides good service and do their best to look good and service with a smile.
I think this is all I would visit this moxie location for. I don’t recall having a good meal here. This trip I ordered their sirloin with lobster and shrimp butter. When my entrée arrived, cold butter on a warm steak is not a good combination. I almost ask the server to take it back and re-​fire the butter but was worry that they over cook the sirloin. But as a cut into the steak, it wouldn’t have matter, the cut was so bad that my jaw got a good work out tonight. I do have to say the bed of spinach, corn and sausage was nice and was the real hero on the plate.
I would recommend coming for appetizer and drinks but go elsewhere for dinner.

I like this place. Young crowd, pretty waitresses, and oh yeah, good food.
I had the lettuce wraps for a starter. They were very good with a nice kick. My main was the baby back ribs. They advertise fall off the bone. Not quite, but they were tender and tasty. I’m from the south and know ribs; these are legit in taste.
Very good wine selection. Average beer selection.
Great stop for a business trip.

Should have read the reviews before I took customers there tonight. Was here about a year ago and it was very good.
However that was not the case tonight. Had a Caesar salad, which was ok except for the croutons, which were very stale. Ordered a filet for dinner, and it was very thin (overlooked) and very fatty.
The service was ok, but not impressive.
Too many other good places in the area, especially for the prices.
I cannot recommend this place anymore.

Was staying at the nearby Marriott Toronto Airport for work and after long hours each day visiting the various locations that I had to drive to — I opted to come here for dinner on my last night.
Upon arrival, I spotted a high top at the bar area and sat down. The previous guest had already left so I sat myself down. A number of servers were working the bar area and two of them were gossiping about an upcoming date that one was going to have. No one who was working the tables in the bar area noticed me and after waiting 11 minutes (yes I did time it) — I finally asked a server that I wanted to order. She apologized thinking that I was with that previous party but the only thing on that high top was a soiled napkin and a dirty side plate! Duhhh??? A menu was produced and after looking at I had decided within a minute what I wanted and then placed the menu face down on the table. Once again, I had to wait and wait and wait to the point that I said «s***w» this and moved to the bar where I knew I would get served immediately and that is exactly what happened. I would have left the restaurant all together but I was tired and did not want to drive to another restaurant.
To the management of Moxie’s on Reading Court: just because there are a lot of out of towners who frequent your restaurant does not give your staff the right to treat us with bad service. The female servers may be young and eye candy but they need a basic ABC’s on service standards! End of story!

Rough night at Moxies. Three of us went there after work. We ordered a bottle of Barolo and after getting our salads, the wine had still not shown up. Finally the waiter came by and said they could not find the wine… so i ordered a different bottle. Five minutes later, he shows up with the original choice. Of course, our food had already come to the table. We all had the Sirloin with Prawn sauce. Decent but not great.
Bottom line: Moxies is about the people watching but for the prices, it should be better.

Food is just so so
Ambiance is very chic and contemporary.
People come here more for the crowd than the food.
