Moxie’s Grill & Bar

Honestly this location used to be my favourite up until my last few visits. The service sucks now, and the food isn’t that great.
I would recommend the butter chicken dice (it’s under rice/​pasta) honey garlic wings, the chicken tenders (the fries are disgusting though), and the white chocolate brownie. Many other dishes taste disgusting. We got calamari and it was SUPER salty, made me hate calamari after.
Sit on the dining room side if you want proper service. Sit in the bar, forget the service. They seriously need to improve on their service. Especially in the bar, one time I came my waitress was horrible, she kept going to the table with 10 guys and not even coming towards us, made me never want to go back to this location.

Ordered the wild mushroom pizza on Saturday for dinner; within 45 mins of eating it I began to feel ill. Once I arrived home I had terrible stomach pains and had nausea and vomiting all evening. Definitely was food poisoning and I’m convinced it was the mushrooms on the pizza. I have no allergies and wasn’t sick otherwise. I’m contacting the Restaraunt to notify them to get rid of that batch of mushrooms to avoid other customers falling ill as well as contacting public health. I won’t be going back. Would not recommend the restaurant to anyone.

They changed their brunch menu! And not for the better. I remember they had more offerings like a breakfast burrito of sorts. I much enjoyed that old menu. They’ve downsized the selection to 1 page. Total sad face. The food was still good but that old menu though was better… bring it back and then some Moxies! Waaaaahh: p

2.5÷5, +.5 for service
I’ve never really been a fan of chain restaurants, whether it’s Moxie’s, Milestones, Kelsey’s, etc. However, one of my friends held a birthday party here recently and invited me, so I decided to join and have dinner at this Moxie’s location.
This Moxie’s branch is located inside Scarborough Town Centre, near Sears. It’s quite large and has quite a chic seating area. Since I was with a large table, we were allowed to sit in the bar, where there are more large seating arrangements available.
I ordered the sirloin with prawn lobster butter, which was supposed to be one of their specialties. I specifically wanted the sirloin to be medium, as that’s what I usually go when I order steaks.
The steak took a while to arrive, but it did eventually. Upon first cut, I can already tell that it was overcooked… there was barely any pink until I got to the middle. The steak was still quite juicy, but it definitely could’ve been even juicier if it wasn’t overcooked. As for the prawn lobster butter, I didn’t really taste much of the prawn lobster feel; there was definitely butter on it though, but it tasted like regular butter.
One of the people in my table also had an overcooked steak, and the hostess diligently exchanged her overcooked steak with a properly grilled one. I wanted to change mine as well, but opted not to since I didn’t want the kitchen to waste another steak.
Service was excellent, despite the less than spectacular experience with my food. Not sure if I’ll return though; I’ve definitely had better steak experience in several other places.

Came here on a Tuesday, service was slow, although it was packed and they had 2 – 3 severs within the area. Drinks came out fine, waitresses forgot to serve us another round when we asked. Restaurant didn’t have mashed potatoes (it was 7pm), steak came out alright, had better at similar restaurants. We did not get served small plates or folks for apps to share!
What happened moxies, you used to be my favourite!

Appetizers were great, especially the calamari. Didn’t try the sushi cones or the bruschetta but they were both finished with no complaints from my friends.
Unfortunately, my chicken chipotle quesadilla was very dry. There wasn’t much chicken or cheese in the quesadilla, so that didn’t help it go down any better. I don’t remember there being any chipotle flavor either. The salad had a tad bit too much dressing. My friend also complained about that as well with her salad.
My friend said his fish tacos weren’t that great either. My other friend got the shrimp and lobster linguine and the lobster tail was miniscule. Overall, only a few of my friends actually enjoyed their main course. Probably won’t be back unless it’s just for drinks and appetizers.

Their steak is amazing although the portion is a bit small. Pastas are great too and signature mosaic dip.

Meh! Came here for drink only. The food at these chain restaurants have me craving food court specials.

Dined in, ordered a lobster and shrimp pasta and I must say that it was quite delicious. However, I did also order a chicken and mushroom pasta to go for the boyfriend. Quite disappointing! The pasta was under cooked, and the portion size was practically made for a child. Moxie’s needs to work on their consistency a little bit more. You can’t just give people a smaller portion just because it’s take out.

I go to Moxies all the time. This location is alright, food depends on your luck. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad. The worst thing about this Moxies is their service. They’re always understaffed. I expect to be in and out within 30 mins. At this location, it’ll take you an hour and half. Service is really bad.

Served me a BOILED steak that was slapped onto the grill to get the grill marks on for $ 30. Even though they took it off the bill, we’ll probably never come back.

The food was tasty, although the food towards to small portion (their steak only 7 oz while others usually serving 10−12oz), I still prefer quality rather quantity. I guess that’s their strategy to save you room for ordering appetizer n dessert which mean able to get more money out from your pocket.
Suprise to see a proper healthy food choice from kid menu rather then all junk food like most other chain restaurant does. Parents, if you feel headache to find healthy choice for your lovely kid while dining out. This is a restaurant that you may consider.
Service was great, the hostess were welcoming n friendly. Our server Daniel was professional n treated us well. For a fine dining experience with an affordable price. For sure will come back.

Overall depending on what day of the week you go, it’s a good place to have a first date or a romantic night to celebrate a occasion. The hostess are welcoming and very easy on the eyes.
The cons well, there not much variety in the menu but the food is still well present and tasty.
I had a enjoyable night but would have been better if there were no screaming babies around to ruin the night. If you going to bring you kids along, go to KEG or some other low class family diner.

Coming here last week Wednesday! mental note; Every Wednesday you get to enjoy Half priced bottles of wine! my rule of thumb is food is for the soul, but wine is for the heart :)
We both came here around 8pm, and luckily it was not too busy at the time as we were both able to get a seat in the lounge area.
For drinks we ordered their Austrailian Penfolds which was a lovely full bodied wine!
For food we decided to do it TAPAS style and order a bunch of appetizers to share. We ordered their Spinach cheese dip that was served with flatbread (⁴⁄₅) Seafood Calamari (3.5÷5) and their sweet chicken (3.5÷5) overall presentation was 5/​5, the food was an average ⁴⁄₅ and our server, JESS was LOVELY! ⁶⁄₅ lol! the atmosphere was great and chilled out.
Defintely will be back… next wednesday unless we decide to try a different Moxies location.

Went to Moxies in the afternoon for quick drink and afternoon tea after shopping at STC. They were offering samples of their «Today’s Special» and Creemore. We ended up ordering a glass of Creemore and a White Peach Bellini.
The bellini was quite juicy but couldn’t taste much alcohol in it. No wonder the waitress asked if I want an extra shot inside.
They also have a separate menu for drinks and desserts. I chose picked the Salted Housemade Caramel-​Scented Cheesecake with fresh blackberries and orange bits. It was decent but not the best cheesecake. There wasn’t anything out of the ordinary in terms of flavour — though I have to say the side berry sauce spiked more flavour for the cake.
The atmosphere at this Moxies is quite relaxing, especially being seated next to the windows. Makes summer seem closer to reality. The service was not bad too — food was served fast and waitress did check on our table every so often.

My go-​to safe spot. Service is always great and food is always what I expected. I usually go and enjoy half off glass of wine on Monday nights. If you want a more intimate setting I suggest being asked to sit in the dining room. If you’re with friends and want to enjoy your meal while watching the game the lounge is perfect. Love this moxies location!

So I have to say — I’ve visited this location after a long long time (since 2012).
I must say clearly Moxies is reading their Unilocal reviews.
— The food is outstanding (FISH TACOS ANYONE?!?)
— The portions are better and the plates (presentations have been upgraded)
— There are still women wearing short skirts and all but whatever however there seems to be more males working there which is great
— The hosts are great
— The managers that walk around seem to be very pleasant and approachable and fun when they check in with their guests
— Seeing that it is in the mall it’s loud but not as loud as I remember and I notice they place larger groups away from small settings which is great.

Service was fantastic when I visited for brunch today.
My friends arrived 5 minutes before brunch ended at 2PM, AND I was still on the way. They happily took the orders before 2PM and even waited for me to arrive before they served my dish at 2:20PM.
The waitress checked on us every once in a while, food was made nicely. Although I wish my sausage hash brunch meal came on a bigger plate, as I had little room to work with. But it was delicious, definately coming back!
P.S.
The chairs in the lounge area are super comfy!

The food here is okay like at most Moxie. I got an appetizer that had seared rare tuna on a cracker. It was very refreshing. It wasn’t done perfectly (which I’ve expected) but it was still good. Then I skipped straight to the dessert tasting trio. The cheesecake was normal, the sticky toffee pudding was too hard and the brownie was perfect. If you want dessert, just order the full size white chocolate brownie.
As for the service… It was really bad. Our waitress could not be found. It got so bad that another waiter basically took over for her. It took forever to get our ice tea refilled, to get a dessert menu, to place our order and then to get the bill. I know what you’re thinking, it was probably busy and they’re just overwhelmed. No. It was winding down and there were empty tables everywhere. I can’t say that I’ve ever had the perfect experience at this Moxie so this experience is no difference from the rest.

Dropped by Moxie’s just for a quick night cap on a random weekday evening. Service was A-​OK. We ordered the drinks and the waitress just served us without incidents. She even checked on us a few times to make sure we don’t need anything else.
I did enjoy my Red Wine Sangria, a little week but has tons of fresh fruits, perfect for a hot summer evening.
The lounge area is quite dark, the waitstaff here just kind of blend in with the environment. I think my Unilocal friends would not complain about those short tight dress.
Beer selection just like any other Moxie’s have a really boring beer menu, but seems like even guys like the Belini here?
